THE call we've been waiting for

Other than August 27, 2014 when Jennifer Sheridan called us to tell our family that we had been matched with a sweet little boy...today was the call we've been anticipating for 8 months, let alone 3 1/2 years!

Best. Day. Ever.
At 10:30 PM (after Lesley had several missed attempts at reaching me) I finally connected with her, only to be told we had a court date! June 4!

This picture was literally taken while I was talking to her on the phone. :)

After we hung up the phone, Ryan said "WOW" about 14 times and I literally ran around the backyard and our entire downstairs, jumping up and down and screaming with delight. It was the most unreal thing knowing we are ON OUR WAY to meet our son. Grady boy---we can't wait to smooch your cheeks and see your smile. We know you don't know us yet and you have no idea we are coming for you buddy, but God's grace in this is just beyond measure.
