Some Assembly Required…

Well, we have received word that our consulate appointment has not yet been made, so we will have to wait until Monday to hear anything. While disappointing, we have been reminded of 2 Corinthians 12:9 once again.

While we are waiting, let me explain the title of this post...

"Some assembly required" is the revelation of the past few days. It started with the crib, which wasn't so bad. I knew it would have to be put together and was prepared. Little did I realize it was just the tip of the iceberg. This weekend I assembled a set of shelves, a chair, a stoller, a pack-n-play, and various and sundry other smaller items for Sydney. Of course, in the process I have scraped, skinned, cut, (fortunately, I didn't do this) and ripped my hands to the point that they have formed a union and asked for paid time off. Hey, there may only be two of them, but if they go on strike I'm in trouble. I'm just trying to keep them from hearing the rumors I've heard about the amount of assembly required for kids' toys at Christmas, etc...

We are sorry too that you don't yet have word on your consulate appointment, and will pray for peace as you wait. Thank you for updating us on the stages of your adoption process. I cannot tell you how much we look forward to soon hearing that you have Sydney in your arms. How blessed she is to have you guys for parents!
