Sister Schofield is leaving...

Last week we received an email letting us know Sister Schofield is leaving LDS Family Services. For those that haven't heard of her - she is the one who was inspired for us to have David. I am so sad she is leaving because she is like family now. I am very excited for her though and all the good she will do.

Some of you may not know, but she needed to place David in a family ASAP and all the families she looked at weren't right. I had called and left a message for her to call me because I was going to tell her we were expecting Evan and waiting on the adoption process. When she saw that I had called she knew right then that we were to be his parents. She called and left a message at 11:30 pm on Halloween telling us there was a baby boy and we needed to pray if he was ours. I listened to the message at 3:30 am and woke Robert up saying they have a baby for us. Needless to say we didn't sleep a wink for over 24 hours after that. When we talked to her the next morning at 9:30 she still didn't know we were expecting. But after a few phone calls getting us aproved (because we were pregnant), we were in Detroit, MI by 8:30 pm on November 1 (my birthday).

This is Sister Schofield holding David when he is a couple of weeks old.

This is our new family as of November 1, 2007. David Hiram Himes is our son.

He is one week old.

Our family on August 29, 2008, the day David is sealed to us.
