New Waitlist Number!

Here's our new number!!!  We enlisted the help of Trapper & Chloe which was no small feat!!!  There's a reason they say never work with animals or children!  Hilarious!  Chloe, our lab who never misses a chance to go bolting out the front door was sooooo embarassed by the giant medallion thing around her neck, she WOULD NOT come outside despite us calling her name and yelling, "Cookies!"  (her only motivation for doing anything!)  Mike finally went in and got her.  15 minutes, 11 pictures and 17 cookies later we had one picture we thought would work!  I'm sure it was quite entertaining for our neighbors!  I think our cat Sadie who watched from the comfort of the kitchen window had her feelings hurt she was left out of the script.  I told her our next number was hers.  Mike can't wait. :)
   With Thanksgiving being just a couple of weeks away, I'm thinking of all that I have to be thankful for.  There's a lot!  I'm thankful for "being # 21" and for what that means for our family.  I'm thankful for all the excitement and anticipation as we wait to find out who our daughter is and the chance to finally hold her in our arms and bring her home with us!  I'm especially thankful that this past year God closed a door and opened a window that brought us to where we are today!  Happy Thanksgiving to all from the Rabells

P.S. I will try to not let so much "dust" accumulate on my blog between posts! (cough, sneeze, choke :)
