--------------------Welcome!

The Lord has blessed our family greatly both through adoption and birth. And because there are so many personalities in our family there is much to think about. This blog is a way to put some of those thoughts down and share our journey.



I hope that my words spur you on, encourage you on a so-so day, and point you to the Lord.

5-4-3-2-1


We are counting down the days until our visit trip and we get to meet Nathan face-to-face. It will be a quick trip but worth every moment. I have many emotions swirling as I think about holding him and playing with him. Ken summed his feelings up yesterday morning when he woke up, saying, "I'm ready to be there right now." Our other kids wish they were going. We have been instructed to take lots of pictures and video. :)

In some ways this week will pass quickly, because there are many things that need to be done and organized before we go. In other ways it will drag because we are so ready to hold our son.

As way of an update: It is our understanding that our attorney registered all his cases. We are now on Day #53 of our PA wait-any day. After PA we can be re-submitted to final court. We are praying that that can happen this week.
