Prayer please

We heard from the adoption agency on September 14, we were denied the right to adopt the little boy who we have been paper chasing for. We have been waiting 5 months for approval and,did not get it. To say we are heart broken is an understatement. You know you make plans in your heart and mind to bring them into your family your life and then when it doesn't happen it is difficult. We have prayed for him everyday since first seeing him on the waiting child list February 15 ,7 months of hopeful anticipation. We were going to call him William. We filed an appeal but the agency is not hopeful at all that it will work. So I come asking for prayer, his 5th birthday is this Thursday September 29, please pray that he gets a family for his birthday, he needs one. If it's not us then God is still good but he needs someone to take care of him ,love on him, and let him know how special he is.

Summer Days...

Ava sitting on a pig at the zoo

Jessica and Bethany at graduation, our 5th child has graduated highschool.

The kids at home on the night of graduation, June 24,2011

Riding a carousel at the zoo. we had a great day at the zoo. the kids enjoyed every thing at the zoo.

Lately the kids have said some pretty funny/cute things so I thought I would share some....

We were getting icecream cones and Ava asked for a panda footprints kind...hehehe....she meant panda paws.


Our neighbor kids were talking to their Mom and some how our kids came up in the conversation and she told them that the 3 kids were adopted....hmmm....they wanted to know which 3 were adopted? How cute is that? She told them the last 3 kids in our family...which one of the 3 kids? They couldn't even think which one of our girls were not "ours". It blessed my heart, thats a testimony to how they have fit right in here.

Ava gets "really" and "very" mixed up in sentences...as in...."I very want a drink"......"I very have to go to the bathroom" We corrected her but she still gets then mixed up.


We have had 2 very busy weeks around here but things should start to slow down and be more summer vacation (I hope) we are taking the kids tent camping next weekend and then August will be here and that month will fly.

Hoping evryone has a blessed summer.....
