Wish I had news...

Well, I wish I had news about the little guy waiting in Ch*na, but nothing yet. So, we have just been having to pass the time busy-ing ourselves with homestudy paperwork and milkshakes :-)

One sweet story to go along with the milk shakes. When we brought Abby home, Maggie was officially "de-throned". This was quite an adjustment for her. Yet, she and Abby have grown so close. This has been our prayer, especially since they are so close in age. Often I will see them competing for attention, toys, space, love, you name it. But, the other day they were chasing each other and playing hide and seek. Maggie came running up to me and said, "Mommy, Abby is the BEST fwiend (translation...friend)" That just makes my heart smile, and makes me whisper a little "Thank you, Lord." He knits these kids together like I could never do on my own.

Announcing...

someone is missing...

Yep, we are adopting again! :-) We are really excited, and I wish I could post the little guy's picture, but Ch*na hasn't given us the official "go ahead" yet. We have begun the paperwork chase, and we should know more in a few weeks. But, I just wanted to ask all of you to be praying for us and for our (Lord willing) newest little one. He will be a year old this month, and he has spina bifida. He is beautiful, and we love him already. If the Lord closes the door, we know that He has another better family in mind for him.

Thanks!!

Just in case you are sending money to Texas for the Tom Lee family, please note that the address below has been changed just a bit. We got an update on that address in Sunday School this morning.
You guys have all been amazing! There have been responses from Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and even California. Thank you so much - this is a huge blessing for the Lee family, and their neighbors who also lost their homes!
Also, in case you are local and want to help with the clearing of debris and/or rebuilding, this blog http://shoalcreekvalleyrelief.blogspot.com/ has been set up to tell you in what ways you can help best (days, times, tools needed, etc.)
