Settling In

Well, we are settling in to our lives as a family of 5 instead of 4. It's hard to believe that a month ago we knew nothing of what would transpire and how our lives would change so quickly. It's been so amazin to see God's hand at work. I don't know why I am newly amazed everytime I see God working in our lives. I just am!
Gabe is doing well. He is still sleeping for about 5 hours between feedings at night, so we have not been too sleep deprived:)) Anna is a wonderful little mom, and Jude is quite the big brother. They are so proud of the newest member of our family.
I will post some new pics in the next few days. In the meantime, I just want to say "thank you" to all who have prayed for our family and for our little guy! I know that your prayers have brought us to this point, and, for that, I am forever grateful!
Have a wonderful evening. I'm going try to get some sleep before it's time to eat again! Good night.

IT'S 5 O CLOCK SOMEWHERE

In our case, it is 12 midnight in Georgia, which means that the revocation period has ended. Gabriel James Guidry is our little boy. All legal risk involved is over, and now we just have to go through the system to make the adoption official. I feel that we can breath a huge sigh of relief. God is so good! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. We can now move forward as a family of 5! How sweet the sound:))

HOME SWEET HOME!

We are home, we are home, we are home! We arrived home Friday night around 6PM with family members waiting for us in the driveway (we love you, Granny!). My mom made dinner for us, and we had a good ole fashion family party! Gabriel got to meet Jude and Anna for the first time. Anna wanted to hold him all night (she is such a good little mommy). Jude, on the other hand, kept his distance while everyone was here. After everyone left, though, he went immediately to Gabriel, loved on him, and asked Lee if we could adopt another child after Gabriel:)) One at a time, Jude!

The 3 kids (and one of the dogs) slept together Friday night, as you can see in the picture below! How sweet!

Saturday, I unpacked and re-organized our lives, and today we went to Mass and went to the Guidry family reunion for the afternoon. I can't tell you how good it is to be home, and to share our little guy with our family and friends.

We continue to thank God for this newest blessing in our family and for your continued support and prayers. Enjoy the new pictures!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We are on our way home! We just left Atlanta. Mrs. Bobbie made sure our bellies were full with a delicious breakfast before we left. I was sad to say "goodbye". We definitely have an extended family now here in Atlanta. God bless them! We can't wait to introduce Gabriel to Anna, Jude, our family and all of our friends. We'll see you when we get home!
