Happy 1st Birthday, baby boy!

Yesterday was Zeke's 1st birthday.  It was weird to not be able to celebrate it with him.  We couldn't even send him a card or anything.  (We will be permitted to send him a care package once some paperwork is completed.)  We are still waiting for our preapproval which is the first document that we need to move forward.  We began working on gathering some pictures that we want to send to him to introduce ourselves to him. 
In the meantime all we can do is pray!  Pray that he is healthy, warm, well fed, and being cared for.  Pray that our paperwork will be completed quickly.  And just trust that God knows the best time for us to be united.  It's not easy to wait since the girls ask every day "when will you go get Zeke?"

Hugs from Mommy!  We love you! 

People are wondering about fundraisers/donations...

Some of you have been asking if we are going to be having any fundraisers coming up.  We have the Just Love Coffee fundraiser going on indefinitely.  (Go to www.justlovecoffee.com/thegouldeys and you can order coffee anytime and the proceeds go to our fund.) 

We also have an adoption fund account set up at Univest Bank in Franconia.  If you want to donate anonymously then you can go to the Franconia office and ask them to deposit it in the Gouldey adoption fund.  If you prefer to just mail the check to us you can do that too and we will see that it gets deposited into the account. 

Thank you for your support!  We greatly appreciate it!
