Wonderful News

Just got the word that our papers were submitted to court and that it looks like we will get a court date by the end of November. Then we get our little Josiah about 6 weeks after that. =O

This means he could be home in January. Yippee!!!!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Quincy's bio mother is scheduled to relinquish this sweet baby to us tomorrow. She is due with the next baby May 1st. Pray for her and the baby's health with me.

In God's grip..

It's a BOY!!!

What else would it be for us =) ???? We are thrilled and he is absolutely adorable. He was abandoned in Ethiopia and is about 3-4 months old now. Not only do we get to pick a name, but we also get to pick a birth date for him. Our dossier arrived in Washington DC today and will be authenticated and translated and in Ethiopia within 2 weeks. The courts in Ethiopia close for the rainy season and have not opened back up yet. I am almost certain that he will be home before he is 1 yr..

We are advised to not post photos until our children are home and we will abide by that, but look out once this beautiful baby gets here. =) I believe we are entertaining the name Josiah. It means "God Saves".

We have watched many children come home within 6 months and some even sooner from Ethiopia. It's so encouraging, but sad for my friends in Haiti who still wait and wait and wait. Pray with me for those precious families to come together sooner and sooner.

Happy Birthday Pastor Russ

Our dear Pastor that married us, loves us, and supports who God made us blessed our home this week with a visit. He had a nice chat with Quincy on their first meeting.

Sweet Cathy, pastor's wife, loved the baby too.

We thank God for your beautiful life and loved celebrating with you. Thank you for blessing our lives with your wisdom, guidance and friendship. Happy Birthday Dear Pastor Russ we love you so much.
