The Shirt and an Update!

So, first the shirt.  I bought this shirt when I was pregnant with Nonie at a consignment sale for $2 (yes, that is very important to me)!!!  Nonie was due October 2, 2009.  We didn't make it to October, but she was due in October.  A year later Wylie was due October 31, 2010.  Which is also pretty funny because I am not the biggest fan of Halloween.  Moving on, Melanie who is to my right, is my BFF from college and she was due with Maeve October 13, 2011.  Christine, my great friend from church, who is on my left is due October 2, 2012.  So, last week at church, Christine put it all together and said she needed to give me my shirt back because I was "due" in October again!!!  Amazing.  Hilarious.  Ridiculous.  So fun.  Love!  I rocked this shirt, yes this maternity shirt, this morning at church!!


Update!  We woke up this morning to an email that said they need to recheck some paper work.  They postponed his arrival.  It was going to be Monday afternoon.  Now we are hopeful he will arrive on Tuesday.  Wasn't the news we were hoping for but my husband woke up with his glass half full today and reminded me of the extra day with our girls, we needed to get the oil changed, pack, etc...Moses, we will see you SO soon!!!  

Not to mention I go to the greatest church EVER!!!  We were so loved on today.  They had a special prayer time for us and I couldn't tell you how many people were surrounding us!  The family of God is priceless.  Then, at lifegroup tonight they had another time of prayer for our Moses, our girls, and our family of 5.  They also gave us his carseat and about 10 letters of encouragements and prayer.  

Babyboy, You are so loved!!!  I pray your heart, soul, and mind can grasp this as soon as humanly possible!!  And as much as we love you and all of these people that have worked so hard to get you home love you, the Father's love for you is even more infinite!


14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21

Sacrifice

Last night I received a text from a very dear friend.  It had this picture attached and said "This is all of Jenna's Savings.  All $42 worth.  I had nothing to do with it.  When I asked her why she said she felt like God was telling her to."


I had no words.  How do you thank an 11 year old for giving up all she has?  I was so humbled by her actions.  I was also challenged!  It is not easy to listen to God and obey what He asks you to do, especially when it involves sacrificing. 

I should also add that she apparently asked her dad, who added an large amount of change.  She also emailed all of her contacts asking them to give. 

Jenna Grace,
The Yanceys are so thankful you are apart of our family.  I am so proud of you for listening to God and obeying.  Thank you for blessing us with your sacrifice!
Love,
The Yanceys

3 Years!

My Noniebear is 3 years old! I took the day off and we spent the day together. Breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Target to pick out a toy-Ariel pool. Home Depot to get mums-2 purple one that she helped me plant. She went with me to the dentist and she did awesome Lunch. Nap. Mom all to herself. It was wonderful. We are so proud of you Nonie!!! We love you to the moon and back!!

Adoption Update

So.....big news!  If you didn't hear this news from me, please forgive me.  We received our passport and word that Moses will be home very soon!  For security purposes I don't want to tell the world exactly what date, but I will say within the next two weeks!!!  Woah!!!  We are beyond excited and relieved and overwelmed and thankful!!  God again has shown off!  He will mostly likely be home during our fall break which allows me an extra week with my little man.  So thankful! 

We also received new pictures of Moses and he looks so happy and healthy!  Please pray for his heart as he is about to have to say good bye to his foster mom who he obviously loves dearly! 

Also, please be praying for us as we are trying to round up our last payment ($6,150) and plane ticket ($2,500-$4,000)!  God has done it before and we are trusting He will do it again!  We are also busy getting the house ready for another member of the family and spending as much time as possible with our girls before their world changes too.  Volleyball is ending and Brother has to get things together to be gone from school and football.

If you still would like an ornament, please let me know ASAP!  They will be making them October 6th!! 

If you see me in person, I will be happy to show you his pictures and tell you when we think he will arrive!

Words are not enough to thank all of you for being a part of this journey and supporting us so well!

Yancey Life Lately: Picture Recap

My Other Sleeping Angel


This is my Wyliebear asleep at school on her nap cot.  She sleeps with a baby doll every day.  She is such a good mama and is so stinkin' sweet. 

Wylie,
I could not love you anymore.  You are so sweet and are such a great sister to Nonie.  You are so determined to be independent and I love that about you.  You will try over and over again until you get it right.  You are so smart.  You amaze me daily on the things you are learning.  I can't wait to see you with your brother.  You are going to be a great big sister.  I pray you always know how proud I am of you.  I love you sweet girl!
Love,
Mama
