One more thing to be thankful for
As you all know the economy has been unstable for some time and with it comes a possible financial nightmare for many families as companies are forced to cut their workforce. Unfortunately that happened (again!) last Friday for the company I work for. Out of about 400 employees 14 were let go which included 2 from the department I work in. Thankfully I was spared this time and feel very fortunate to still have a job which brings me to the post title of 'One more thing to be thankful for'. Thank you God for sparing me yet again and I pray that the families who were impacted by this find peace and are content with the direction in which you lead them.
Blessings to all who read this and I hope that none of you have to face this situation.

Taking time to appreciate life
It is not often that I am able to take some time out of my day to write down my thoughts and to appreciate all the blessings God has placed in my life. Right now as I sit at work, my cup of coffee in hand, I am taking that time.
I have so much to thank God for yet lately I have not done so. I could not imagine my life without God, Shane and Jeffrey; they are true blessings. And to also have family living close to us now. A few days ago I was talking to my mom about spending more time with her in the last few months than I have since I left home when I was 17. I didn't realize how important family is until just recently. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones talking, or my old age (ha), but I want our children to grow up with them.. So many time we tried moving back to west Texas to live closer to everyone but God had different plans. Something always came up that kept us here. Wow, God does know what he is doing! : )
My most recent blessing, of course, is our newest family member, baby boy Richardson. We have waited many years for his arrival. Whether from Taiwan or a biological child, he was destined to be with us. I still feel that God lead us to adopt from Taiwan in order to test our obedience but whatever the case we will get to meet our baby in a few months. When Jeffrey was a baby I just couldn't wait for him to grow up and be more independent. I suffered from severe postpartum depression and in addition to that Jeffrey had colic and was allergic to milk products. It took months to find the right formula for him. Now this time around I hope to be able to enjoy the 'baby years' much more as my depression is under control and we also know how to handle a colicky baby.
I am also thankful for our friends that have been there many years for us. We have spiritually grown with many of them and they have become our second family. I hope to start spending more time with them and to show my appreciation to them.
I will close for now and I will end this post by saying 'Thank you' to God and our family and friends for always supporting us and being there no matter what.
Blessings,
Misty

Ultrasound pics
The 2nd one shows he is a boy...
These are the 3D pics of the face. Can you see the eyes, nose, mouth, and chin? He's smiling in the first one. :)
Yay... we get to shop for crib bedding this weekend! We bought the crib a few weeks ago. I will post a pic of it with the new bedding as soon as we get it.
