quick update
We are still in Missouri and will head home tomorrow. Family camp was amazing- a relaxing and restful week with the team. We are staying with the Neal's for a night and will drive home tomorrow.
I was so surprised to receive the call at camp. We were enjoying our first full day of camp, and it never occured to me to check my phone. The boys were out playing paint ball, the girls were running around,and I was in the room giving Abe a bottle. I looked at my phone and saw that I had a voicemail. I still wasn't thinking referral at all..............."Hi Emily, this is Sara" and my mind went blank. I started fumbling around, looking for a pen, freaking out that Moody was out playing paint ball! I called her back and got her voicemail.
What seemed like forever (actually only about 10 min)-- she called me back. I told her that Moody was out with the boys and I would call back as soon as I could. I was pacing back and forth, found the girls and we waited for the boys to come in through the front gate.
They finally returned and we called Sara back. We then proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes trying to find internet while Sara waited patiently on the phone! I bet she (and all the other guests) thought we were so nutty. :)
Finally we saw our boy and read all about him. He is so beautiful! We are in love. :)
My sweet mom put a package together to send with our buddies, the Fournets. They leave today.
More when we get home.

Can't wait for you guys to get home! We've missed you and look forward to the Fourth.
Can't wait to get the report from the Fournets. At least he has some pics of his forever family until we get there.
Love to all!

What a sweet story and an amazing blessing! I'm so glad that you have had a wonderful and restful week at Family Camp. We head off to our Family Camp on Sunday. Even if we got the referral call then (a possiblity,) I am not sure that the cell phone coverage is good enough to retrieve the message! :-)I can't wait to hear more about your little guy!
Blessings,
Kristy
