Well, a couple things to update on today but I first want to post part of an email from our dear friend and soldier who is in Iraq on his 2 tour.
Dear friends ...loss of a great soldier and personal friend of mine ... please uplift family and friends ... pray for our battalion and the soldiers who took direct action ... pushing foreword. Please remember our loves ones fighting still and pray for them daily!! Ben, We miss you much and love you lots!! Praying you home!!
This little post was from a friend of mine and I just had to share .. so very true!!Natural Child: Any child who is not artificial.
Real Parent: Any parent who is not imaginary.
Your Own Child: Any child who is not someone else's child.
Adopted Child: A natural child, with a real parent, who is all my own.

Alas ~ there were 3 more infant boy referrals (click on Slonigers or Stagers or Pridemore on the left) and we are all so happy !!! So good to see movement and to hear of more kiddos being united with their forever families!! God is so good!! Just a side note: This would have officially moved us up to the top 10 on the list!
We also we able to get a couple more photo's of our girls from families that were just there - our oldest is wearing the outfit we sent her! Such a blessing to see them in their culture and playing with the others kiddos waiting for all us parents to come get them!!! It does my heart good knowing they are being loved on and kept safe! We are still hoping and praying for court the end of October or early November and then travel about 3 weeks after that. Come on miracle October!! :):)
We have all made it through the first full week of school and nothing major yet!! Gotta love that! Pre-school starts next week - and piano- and I think basketball is just the week after. Hmmm ... more crazy-ness to pass the time 'cause you know once we get home this fall, we are home for awhile!!

Do you think they would send us all at once if all these crazy referrals pass court close together? Do you think we'd have a travel group of twenty families? Wouldn't that be completely awesome? It won't happen, but a girl can dream. Jori, you're an inspiration to me, I swear. I should call you more often, just to chat. Every comment you make on my blog makes me feel better. Thank you for just being you!
