Lovinsky's MN Visit!! :)

Ok it's finally time for that blog update... :) 

It's hard to believe that little man's first visit to MINNESOTA has come and gone already!! 3 years of persistence and lots of paperwork and expenses we had an amazing trip to MN for Christmas!! 

God is so good in HIS faithfulness!!

Check out a small glimpse into our visit to MN!! 
We did so many great things and saw so many amazing people we couldn't possibly 
fit it all in this blog!! 
We had a rough start with our carry on luggage being stolen from the back of the truck
 but we moved past it and enjoyed the rest of our trip! God knows.
Look this handsome dude so early in the morning ready to go!! EEKKK!! :) 

Checking out the plane! 

Future aviator?? 

Here we go!! First flight ever!!

He thought the escalators where the best!!

I'm not sure who loved this more!! :)

The cold water was a little shocking! ;)  
We finally made it!! So great to meet family in person!!
It was like they had known each forever!!

My favorite guys!!!
Cousins together!!!
The start of something great!!
These two...... :) 


Warming up by the fire...

It's trickier than it looks!! 

Lots of love!!

So much fun being all together!!!

We have a long ways to go on this adoption journey and but we are so thankful for what God is doing in our lives and the amazing time he gave us in MN!!!
Hoping and praying all three of us can visit MN this summer!! Join us in praying for Lydia's paperwork (birth certificate, passport and visa) to be completed and a visa be granted!!

YOU are GOOD


YOU are GOOD

So we have been in MN for about 3 days and I feel like we have already fit in so much and done so much that it seems like we've been here a week!! 

Lovinsky is loving every minute of it and apparently he LOVES the cold!! He is sure to tell us that every time he steps outside! I can't say the same. ;) 

We have lots of "firsts" and "ah ha" moments and it just makes me smile! 

We have fit in more hockey games in the last couple days and he LOVES it! He even had a the opportunity to put on a pair of skates today! He learned it's not quite as easy as they make it look and he took a couple pretty good falls. 

On Sunday we went to church at Plymouth Covenant and during worship they played this song "King of My Heart" and it brought me to tears. 

The chorus is what got me and reminded me that HE is good!! He is soooo good!! Everything about this trip so far has reminded me that HE is good! 

I am still amazed that I am really am in MN with my favorite little man!! I mean really!?!?? 
HE IS GOOD PEOPLE!! 

It wasn't an easy road to get here, but HE is our ANCHOR in the waves and 
HE's NEVER going to let us down! 

HE IS GOOD!! 
If you need a reminder of who HE is listen to this song! 


Just a peek into what MN has brought..


     

HE IS GOOD PEOPLE!!
GOD is sooooo GOOD!!!
