And it can’t wait to be shared after I get back. You must know about it now;). Wiphan’s cookbook!!! Wiphan USA got ’em in just got ’em in…and I’ve only had mine for less than […] I will second that ~ the cookbook is GREAT!! I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I am so excited to try out the variety of recipes. Thumbs Up to Wiphan for another great product to raise awareness and funds for widows and orphans. Okay, this has to be the COOLEST cookbook I’ve EVER SEEN!! Who ever came up with the concept was genius & beautiful presentation. I can’t wait to have one.

We are very excited about your trip TOMORROW! The cookbook looks amazing and I was excited to share the word with my family and friends. Keep the news coming; we love seeing what God is doing through His children. I love this idea…will order one for myself and a few others to save for gifts! YEAH! YUM! …I am heading over to WIPHAN to get me a copy! 🙂 Thanks for posting this! 🙂 …praying for your family and your newest addition! ♥ SO excited for you!! ♥ off to order many – i did not know that they were ready!!!  First off–no, I don’t plan on calling him Ike;). However, this is a HUGE debate in our home. Richard says we’ll call him “Ike”…and I say “Isaac”. Just had to put that in the title to make him smile when he reads this in the morning:). After we got the kids put down tonight (remember […] You are outta control, woman! And I have to laugh about “Ike,” it makes me think of Dwight Eisenhower. In fact, maybe you should find some vintage campaign stuff that says “I like Ike.” Hee hee hee. Can’t believe you’re leaving in two days! I can’t wait to hear about the trip. We are finishing up our application to AGCI and should have it ready to send in the next couple of weeks! You are just so talented! Love all his sweet outfits and so excited to see him wearing them! My hubby would vote for “IKE” too! Just wanted to let you know that we got the call and our Isaac was born on Father’s day! We meet birthmom today and baby and Lord willing get to bring Isaac home on Thursday! I am SO excited for you guys and wanted to tell you our good news! There is a post on our blog with details! :0) I absolutely love the outfits. I am a grandmother who loves to sew. I am expecting one little Ethiopian grandchild this year for our daughter and husband and two for our son and wife. Yeahhhh!!!! Congratulation on your new little boy!! I can’t wait to see pictures from your trip and your family. sorry about the two comments. It told me it did not post April…I could not sleep lastnight…I was so excited for you!!!! And I think I have mentioned this on someone’s blog before…but HeatNbond Lite is an AWESOME product! After years of wonderUnder…I made the switch:) Love it! SO cute Andrea! ANd hubs gave the final OK that we can come to see you all at the airport next week! I think we are even going to bring the kids….they heard me say LL would be there…and they went nuts! I wish I had half of your creative talent! You are amazing. Those are SO cute!!! We call my brother Isaac “zeek” sometimes, but I think Ike is an adorable nickname! I can’t wait to see him in those clothes!!!!! SOOOOO cute!!!! I can’t wait to see him in your arms too – just a few more days!!! You are a woman on a mission. I love that you use productivity to get rid of all that pent up energy 🙂 HANG TIGHT my friend…you are SO CLOSE. I just emailed you…but wanted to tell you here too…you will be in our prayers friend. God is moving in such a beautiful way in your family!!!! Jenn I have an Ingram Isaiah and we call him Ike!! Watch out though. Boys named Ike tend to be HURRICANES. He was already 18mos old when Hurricane Ike hit us (we’re in Houston) so we say we didn’t name him after the hurricane, they named the hurricane after HIM! These are all so cute! Can’t believe how quickly you’re pumping them out! Andrea , you are the most talented ,gifted person I know ! It has to be the HS that gives all these gifts to you ! Adorable outfits.  it’s just THREE days until we leave! And to celebrate…during nap time today—I sewed THREE outfits for our little guy. I was having trouble finding clothing that worked well for 50-70 degree-ish weather. I wanted to dress Isaac in layers…so I was thinking onesies, pants and sweaters. Couldn’t find much since it’s HOT and June […] gosh, andrea! you are so talented!! 😀 A+ amazing! I can’t wait to see photos of Isaac in his new outfits. Three more sleeps … that’s it … THREE!!!! Love them! Is there anything you can’t do??? SEW talented 🙂 Hee Hee. You did that during nap? I could maybe pull that off if naptime was FIVE YEARS LONG!! Great job and I agree that Carter’s has better onesies. I can’t believe only three more days… yay! 50-70 degrees isn’t cold, though, is it? Wow–those outfits are amazing! Can not believe that you leave in 3 days! Will be glued to the computer (more than usual)! 🙂 I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I think I know how you feel. My husband, mother, and I are leaving in six days for China to adopt our 18 month old princess. Our trip will be eighteen days and I’m feeling very anxious about being away from our three sons for such a long, long time… Our boys are older than your babies, but I don’t think it matters, we still miss them so much. The packing is daunting and the fear of the unknown is unsettling, but I trusting that God will meet us there… Congratulations on your sweet Isaac and may you all come home safely. Ashley Those are tooo cute!!!! YEAH- Only 3 days!!!!!!! WAHOOOOO!!!! “You so CRAZY”~ IN the middle of everything, I think I’ll sew a few outfits!? LOVE YOU and can’t wait to see the cutest little man in Africa (soon to be the USA~ competition is stiff with Pman and Frank; 3 way tie, maybe!?) sportin’ these!!! Girl … you could sell those precious outfits for big bucks! Your talents seem endless! SEW excited for you! I love them!!!! Praying for you guys…cannot wait to see him in your arms! Those are PERFECT!! Love them!. and you are correct with the onesies thing.. although- they thin gerber ones do stretch to expanding belly sizes. Good luck on your trip. not sure how I found your blog but glad I did! you amaze me!! can’t wait to see sweet Isaac! I just got caught up reading some old posts and wanted to share that my son was also classified as severely malnourished- came into care with full kwashiokore. Feel free to contact me for support or help or just info. Don’t worry!! I agree….Carters are WAY better to sew on! Kohl’s also has a brand (First moments, I think) that are really great to applique on as well. SO cute! 1. Those outfits are SOOOOOOO cute! |

~Gini 🙂

Andrea,
Just wanted to let you know I have been lifting you up in prayer several times today already. I too have a huge struggle with flying (understatement) and I am praying for you as though I were the one flying…that it will be the most enjoyable flight you’ve ever experienced, that your heart would feel so at peace it would not be a breeze, that it would actually be really FUN, that the enemy would not be able to use turbulence as a weapon of warfare to worry you or wear you down, that you would sense angels and know that you are more than a conqueror…and so much more. I pray these next hours will literally “fly” by.:) And though we’ve never met in person, I am so blessed to have come across your blog. I was blown away that you sent my family a cupcake thank you with Isaac’s picture on it. I felt so included, so loved, and it brought me to tears. Gotta love the body of Christ. If you’re ever in Portland, Oregon you’ve gotta swing by for a cup of coffee.:)
Can’t wait to hear how the trip goes. I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty amazing.:)
Love,
Rory
BTW–I meant that it WOULD be a breeze…sheesh.:)
Oh, Andrea…I am squealing with joy here in Mississippi!! I am just so, so, so excited for ya’ll! And for Issac!! I cannot wait to hear all about him and see pictures! Will be praying!!
WHOO HOO!!! So excited for you!
Oh my goodness…I’m so excited that you are going to get your sweet baby boy! I’ll be praying!
So excited for you as you grow your family! Will be praying for you as you travel and get meet your sweet little Isaac! Will also be praying for Mr. Mom and the other precious babes at home! God bless you and your beautiful family!
Chills. Tears. Overflowing with excitment for you!
So exciting! I totally get the flying thing. I am a terrible flyer…to get on that airplane and travel so far away from my kids here…it was so difficult. God met us though and He will meet you too. I will pray for all of you this weekend…have loved following your blog and getting updates here and there through your sister. Go get your baby!
May God give you traveling safety! Looking forward to hearing all about it and I haft to say I am a little jealous 🙂 God bless you!
We feel like we are there with you. It’s surreal, isn’t it? Praying for you and waiting to see pictures. 🙂
