did we mention...?

time flies when your having fun




A month ago already, we celebrated beautiful E's 11th birthday!
E is a smilely, happy, selfless person, everyone loves to be around.

E has an infectious laugh & can't get enough rough house play with her Dad. We love you sweetheart!

Because her special day also included soccer practice, our celebration was low-key. E hopes to find time this Summer to see a movie with some friends to extend the fun.




our suburban window was fixed


just two days after the mower threw a rock through our truck window, it was repaired and good as new... yeah!



we are waiting but ok


on adoption news, we are still waiting for immigrations pre-approval to bring orphans home into our country. (this takes 60-90 days from fingerprinting, done March 31st)


upon immigrations approval we are set to send our dossier (official papers that puts us on the waiting list) to Ethiopia. and once again we will wait.



nothing bad has happened, just once again hit with the reality that everything happens in God's perfect timing... for that we rejoice.
(somedays are just harder than others to set aside the picture & timeline in your own head)

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" , declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9


It's the last week of school


the kids are excited for their Summer vacation! we are starting our break with swimming lessons, a garage sale this month, and hopes to do some camping!

this fall we will have a 7th grader, 6th grader, 1st grader, and a preschooler... Wow, exciting!




God's grace & love will strenthen us to persevre, trust, wait and live well.

Happy belated Birthday E!
:)
Hard to believe your little on will be in preschool next fall. Seems like just yesterday that I met you there.
Thinking of you and praying for you!
