The Rest of The Story...

TGIF!
If you've been reading for awhile, you may know that Disney World holds a special place in our hearts as we named Milannah Joy when we were there back in 2012.  She was our 6 month old Foster Daughter & we were praying that she would be a part of our forever family. (Go here for the full story if you're new here.)
SO------> you can imagine our shock, surprise, etc when we got a call for another Foster Daughter AT DISNEY WORLD. A total "God thing" if you ask us...

Needless to say, it happened. IT as in we arrived home on Friday about midnight (after departing Orlando at 6:15 a.m.), unpacked, washed bottles, prepared as much as possible & were greeted with a beautiful bundle of joy about 7 p.m. on Monday, June 9th.
We shared our announcement to the world aka facebook that evening with this post:

WELL... Here we go! {Again}
While in line for Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride at #WDW we got a call from DCFS for a 2 day old foster daughter. We said "yes" & prayed that The Lord would work out the details. Just as we hoped, we welcome a 6 day old, 7lb brown beauty we have affectionately nicknamed 'Georgia' because of the song, "Georgia On My Mind." 
World, we're undeserving, speechless, & HoltFam5 at least for now. ~James 1:27

We're affectionately referring to her as a "Georgia Peach." I will update as quickly as I can by backtracking to our Disney World vacay (May 29-June 6) & the rest of summer fun with a newborn in tow.  Reddington & Milannah are crazy about her &, again, we're praying that she will be a part of our forever family. She's almost 3 months old & we are so in love! 

Here's my blog post 'to do' list:
*Disney
*Baseball/Cardinal Game
*Chicago
*Georgia + more
*Zoo Fun
*4th of July
*Steak -n- Shake Adventures
*Jungle Book: Live Show
*Trip to Luttrell's
*Chili Dog
*Trolley Ride
*American Girl
*Canoe Trip
*VBS
*Paint Party
*Decatur Celebration Parade
*Mini Golf
*End of Summer/Pony Express Days

It's massive, I know. I will get to it as quickly as I can-- the goal is a couple of posts per week.  I'm excited to throw in some about sweet Georgia, too!
Thanks for being patient while we endure 'Faith Journey: Round 2'
