We are Growing More and More in Love Each Day....

We are completely useless......all we can do is just stare at the pictures (thanks to the Raymer & Gibson families for taking them!!) of Caleb Samuel and dream!! Yes, you heard it here....his name will be Caleb Samuel Caldwell. We love him so much already, and I know the next couple of months are going to be sooo hard as we wait for him. I just want to pinch those cute cheeks (which have the cutest dimples) and kiss his little bald head :)


One specific prayer request we have is that AWAA would be able to secure a court date for us in October before the courts close next Thursday. We believe that this would put us "ahead of the game" so to speak if we could go into the court closures with a date already scheduled. Of course we realize that even if a date is scheduled it could be pushed back, but we would just feel better if we had a date.....so, keep this in your prayers. Also, there will be four families who will have their actual court dates on August 6th, the day before the courts close. I can not imagine what these families must be feeling! Please keep them in your prayers as well.


And as promised, a picture of us before "the click" of "the email".......our lives would be changed forever after that mouse click!!

I am so happy for you both. It took me a while to actually become useful again after "the call". Caleb Samuel sounds like such a cutie. I can't wait to see those pictures. We'll be praying for a court date.

With Love,
