HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

We are enjoying time with family and friends this season. We spent Christmas morning at home as it may be our last chance to have a quiet and restful morning?! We hope!!

We can't help thinking of our little one, and wondering where they are, who they are and how long it will be until we see their face. He or she is not far from our thoughts most of the time, we feel a bit like part of us is missing. We are constantly praying that God will keep them, protect them and that they will know some measure of love in their time in the care of others.
We have bought a gift! It is ready for when they are here for Christmas!!

The puppy is sooo soft and the bear has a warm blanket to cuddle. OK for a boy or girl we think! Happy Christmas child-soon-to-be-ours!

This is the Christmas decoration we bought last year. To remind us of God's peace. A candle to light as a symbol of hope, until we reach the end of this journey- and start a new one!

We have had so many encouraging words from people, and we know that God's timing is still perfect. It feels more imminent though, so we can reveal that the next room to be done in the house will be the child's room! Can't wait till the January sales when we can buy some cute gender neutral items!! Any design tips of must-haves please let us know!

Thank you for your prayers, and have a wonderful holiday xx

8 months today!

We are building up to Christmas and getting ready for the end of term- always a manic time at school!

At the end of last moth we made it to a PACT (our agency) Waiting Day- a chance to meet other families who are waiting and find out about recent research. It was an interesting day and we met some people local to us who are Christians. It kept pEru (how you say it) in our minds and we sat next to a famous comedian in a restaurant afterwards- a nice end to the day!

We are looking forward to spending Christmas with friends and family and to see what God will bring. He has been speaking to us recently and we feel he is preparing us for what is ahead. We treasure your prayers, support and love as we move forward. We don't know how long we have to wait, but each month and week is a step closer. Keep thinking positive! We have at times felt very frustrated and there has been so much uncertainty, but through it all we have felt very 'held up' by our friends and family, who have not stopped praying for us. It means so much, so thank you!
