Waiting

So if you are like me you may be wondering why do we have to stay around so long this week?? It is mostly a week of waiting. We are waiting a couple of things...waiting on Hudson medical evaluation which we received today and waiting on our consulate appointment which is tomorrow and then finally waiting on Hudson's visa which allows him to come home!! It certainly feels like lots of waiting which can be hard at times but we are trying to enjoy these moment with him here! We certainly are feeling ready to be home and to give hugs and kisses to Ava and Cooper though too!
In our waiting we have gotten to do a bit of sightseeing. We've gone to a couple of different parks, to the zoo, on a river boat cruise and most recently to the circus!

This wasn't just your regular old circus let me tell you...it was more like cirque de solei...not sure if I'm spelling that right. There were certainly all the circus animals and clowns but so much acrobatics and an amazing show with snow, rain, fire, lights...an amazing production. I looked at Matt and said "I wonder if Hudson will have nightmares?" His eyes took it all in, pointing at everything...it may have been a bit of overstimulation after spending most of his little life in his stark white walled home. Thankfully he slept great!!

It has been so hard getting him to take naps but I'm thrilled right now that I'm sitting in a cute little cafe writing this while he and Matt are upstairs...Hudson is napping and I think Matt is enjoying catching up on some sports scores. Please pray we would wait well these next few days.
