some news on Gus. and some news on us.

I had to share with y’all who have been so gracious to pray and help spread the word about this precious little peanut.

Gus has found his forever family. So very excited for the little guy, I can hardly stand it.

And, in case you’re wondering… it’s not us, y’all.

But we do have a little bit of news to share.

Hoping to get it all finished and ready to post tomorrow.

In the meantime, anyone want to take a guess?

    I guess you are adopting again! But that seems a bit obvious. You are moving again. That’s my final answer and I didn’t even use one of my lifelines. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I’ll admit I DID wonder if you were thinking of adopting again soon. So, my guess is : a little boy this time??

    Yeah for Gus!! I’m guessing that you are taking whatever TV network it was up on their offer to do a documentary on our family. You did post about that some time ago, right?

    Here are some of my unlikely guesses;)…..

    Are you adopting again?
    I was thinking what some of you others are thinking…is Victoria engaged? I don’t really think that’s it though…

    I guess I’ll just have to wait until tommorow to see:)
    Tonight’s going to be a LONG night;)
