Silas Ray Vernon is the newest member of our family!!!

Praise God we passed court today! Thank you for all of your prayers. I felt them-I did, but I still felt like I could get sick just waiting for the phone to ring. Poor Cara had to deal with me and my nerves today. I love her for doing that so graciously!

We can finally post some pics. Here is our first glimpse on June 30th of our little boy:

We received a July update and received these two pics.



















Love those eyes!!!! And daddy is already drooling over the thought of Silas loving sports!

So...the next step is just to wait for travel confirmation. We already have plane tickets in hand for August 29th (had to book as they were filling up) so hopefully the paper work will get where it needs to go in time.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are so excited and yet so nervous all at the same time. We KNOW this will bring huge changes to our family-some fun and easy and some that are more difficult and not so fun. But we also KNOW that God has hand picked this little boy for our family.

    This is truly an amazing blessing. We are so excited for you as you continue your journey. We will pray for your voyage to bring your son home and all the emotions that come with it. He is such a cute little guy and we can;t wait to meet him.
