We got the call this afternoon at around 3:00. I was blabbering away to my buddy Amie on the phone when ‘the call’ came… I just about died when I saw ‘Lifeline’ on the caller ID!! The entire family is SO excited to be that much closer to Shepherd π
We should find out our travel dates and book our flights NEXT week! We’re one step closer to holding our precious boy!
