texas petes: oh HAPPY day!
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011/09/oh-happy-day.html
Thursday, September 15, 2011. Today started out wonderfully. I woke up at my parent's house. we are in town for a wedding. I played with my nieces and nephews. I started a photo shoot with baby John. And then the day got even more wonderful than I could ever tell you. Because I got a phone call from holt international. and they told me that they had a baby boy they thought would be a great match for our family. And I didn't drop the phone.but I did start crying. He is our son. Tears of joy this morning r...

texas petes: still here!
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011/11/still-here.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. For all of you faithful blog readers.we are still alive! I really didn't intend to not post anything for such a long time.it just kind of happened. Sometimes it is just hard for me to write during the unknowns and these long waiting periods. We've been on an emotional roller coaster these last few weeks. some of the story is going to have to wait to be written until sweet Ezra is home. but, oh man, is it a STORY. with multiple miracles involved. Our family is doing great. e...

texas petes: and he shall be called...
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011/09/and-he-shall-be-called.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. And he shall be called. After much thought and baby name deliberation.we have decided on a first name for our beautiful boy. we will be keeping his perfect ethiopian name as his middle name. and we'll probably call him that name, too. it starts with a T.and I'll get to reveal it along with his picture when we have him home. And now for the big reveal. he shall be called. We love old testament names, and think that ezra fits our little guy nicely. More and more every day.

texas petes: third time's a charm
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011/09/third-times-charm.html
Friday, September 23, 2011. Third time's a charm. There are a whole lotta fun things about having little girls. as I am sure there are about having little boys. One fun little girl detail is when they are asked to be a flower girl in a wedding. because they get to dress up so sweetly and parade down an aisle and drop petals from a basket. and the crowd usually giggles and ooohs and ahhhs over how cute they are, because well, they are. Eden started her flower girl career in our friends jason and janette's.

http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Since we live pretty far away from our family.we usually have to wait to meet new babies. which is so hard for this aunt! I like to be outside the delivery room waiting to hear the first cry.and hold them with freshly applied gooky eye ointment still glistening. Our beautiful niece, violet. Was born on valentine's day this year. and the girls and I just got to meet her today! She is so delicious. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Pretty close to crazy. And since then my phone is never mo...

http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. We need some miracles. Please forgive my lack of blogness. maybe I'll start writing again and won't have to start every blog with an apology? I'm writing tonight to give you all an update and beg for your prayers. We are STILL waiting on paperwork for our darling, darling boy. So would you please pray for our son? And all of the families needing this paperwork re-do/release? We need miracles. just a few more! I can't leave you without cute pictures of the girlies, though.

texas petes: so now what?
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011/09/so-now-what.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Yesterday we received word that all of our official paperwork for baby boy was at our adoption agency, and that they were informing the ethiopian staff of our formal acceptance! So now comes the SUPER hard waiting.the wait for our first trip to ethiopia when we meet our son and have our court date. The current estimated wait time from acceptance of a referral to court date is 4 to 5 months. let's please all pray for 4! So that is a brief summary of what the adoption process...

texas petes: July 2011
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Peace out, twenty-eight. That's right. tomorrow I turn 29. and I am so thankful for that. I really don't get why some people have a problem with aging. My perspective on every single thing in life changed at the age of 20 when doug died. I think I became an old lady at a pretty young age. I don't look at anything the same way. Including: making ants a playground and swimming pool with side walk chalk. And popsicles after a HOT morning walk. Because I used to think that admitting t...

texas petes: June 2011
http://dockerybambino.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. There are just some things that must be passed down to the next generation of little girls (and boys). clover jewelry making being one them. There is something really magical about watching my daughters faces light up with joy when I place a necklace made of flowers over their heads. and then adding a bracelet, ring, and hair wreath.they could hardly contain their excitement. I love that I'm raising children that hardly ever stay inside. Monday, June 27, 2011. THEN, my beautiful...
