Johnson Potato Apple Cider Juice Thompson

Dear Peep, 
We have news we've been easing you into for the last few months.  With the arrival of Ariya Rose and Abraham you've talked often about a "little boy sitting here and a little girl sitting there."  Daddy and I have been talking about it too.  Thus we are starting the adoption process for a second time!  It is a little daunting and tedious getting the paperwork done, working on a dear birth mother letter that goes out to prospective woman/families looking to place but it will be worth it!  We know it will from experience.  Never did we think we would open up to so much love and a broader view of family and then we met feisty, funny and sweet Jo Jo and she introduced us to you!  When asking you on an afternoon drive what you would name a little brother you said, "Hmmm Johnson Potato Orange Juice."  
It was so certain and definite so I was surprised this week when you changed it to Johnson Potato Apple Cider Juice Thompson.  For the record we will not be naming a child either variation of Johnson Potato (insert juice of the day) Thompson.  Last week you helped me send off our recommendation requests. 
You decorated the backs with fall stickers and pictures, put the stamps on and helped me send them at the post office.  You said maybe our baby will come over now.  Not quite yet.  But we hope to be on the books by January 2012.  You will make a sensational big brother! but for now  never forget that there will never be another Peep in our lives.
Love, Mama

PS  If you know of a woman looking to make a plan for their baby and are researching their options don't hesitate to give them our information, even if we aren't the family for them.  More info and updates to come.
Thanks!
Lisa T.

Lisa - I'm so excited to hear that you and Steve are starting the adoption process again. I wish you both much luck - though I'm convinced you won't need it - and a happy healthy baby soon.

It's been such a pleasure following the adventures of Henry and I can't wait to hear all about the process & expanding Thompson Family!!
