Tuesday is the BIG DAY!!!!

We are getting so close!! Tuesday is court day, since ET is 9 hours ahead of us court will happen while we are sleeping or at least some of us are sleeping on Monday night :):)!! Tuesday morning we should find out whether Zoey and Tatem passed through or not. We found out that Tatem's mom has to show up at court even though she already relinquished him. We are praying that she does indeed show up on time and that all of our documents and each of Tatem and Zoey's adoption documents are in place. If they pass through they will officially be a Donels after Tuesday! WhooooHoooo! Please keep on praying with us.

Friday night was a tough night for us. Poor Bryce was hit by a bat at Blake's baseball game while playing a pick-up baseball game with friends. Luckily we were pretty close to Children's Hospital and Wade and I were able to run him there. We were all very concerned about his vision, whether his eye was OK, a concussion, and broken bones around his eye. Praise God he had none of those. He did need stitches and he has a very big swollen eye right now, but again we are so thankful that he is OK. The ER doc said he was very lucky because the way the eye was so swollen and the size of the cut made them think it would be much worse. God definitely blessed us through that deal.

Here is a picture of Bryce yesterday! He thinks he looks very ugly and he won't leave the house without sunglasses at all the last two days. Bryce even sat by us in church today through the whole service with the black sunglasses in place:)! I should of gotten a picture of that! I don't even know if he realized that I took this picture while he was on the phone~poor guy! This was Bryce's second set of stitches in 3 weeks!

Bryce and Tatem's Room all ready to go!

Faith and Zoey's room all ready to go!! Faith wanted to go with a beach theme. We are getting the girl's room closer to being done!

Now you may wonder, but what about Blake who will he share with?? Believe it or not Blake is asking for a dog non-stop lately! He is driving us crazy. We have never had furry animals before because he is so allergic. He seems to be doing better though so we will see....Mom and Bryce seem to be allergic too so obviously it would be a dumb idea. I think we are crazy lately though because we are considering this very cute three year old dog that is being passed around the Franck family (my side) in Iowa named Muggles. She seems like the perfect family pet so we will have to check little Muggles out when we are back in Iowa this next week.

Thanks for all of your prayers for court this week. You KNOW I will update the blog as soon as we have news.
