China Here We Come!

We are going to China! We need to be in Hefei by 8/5. Tegan's gotcha day is 8/6. Next stop is Nanchang for Piper's gotcha on 8/12. Then off to Guongzhou. Our CA is on 8/21. What a trip! CRAZY but good!

TA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got our travel approval! We are in the home stretch! Thank you God for your faithfulness and strength through this long process.

Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear or be dismayed, for the LORD God- my God- will be with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.  1 Chronicles 28:20

Happy 4th birthday baby girl!

Love this picture! She is really studying that cake. :)

I800 approval

We have our I800 approval for our two girls. When we reach this point it is usually 8 weeks until we can leave to go to China! We will be counting down the days!

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10

We praise and exalt you LORD!

LOA

We finally have our letter of acceptance from China after 126 days of waiting! Next step is to get finale approval from our government then travel approval. We are in the home stretch!! Hopefully we will be traveling in the next few months!!

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:12)

Prayer needed

My Tegan needs your prayers right now! We just received word from Bethel that Tegan's orphange has come and taken her back there. She has been living at Bethel since 2008 (2yrs old). She is 5 1/2 right now and has to be lost and hurting. This has me so upset for her! Please pray!

New pictures of Piper

The package Ann sent for us.

Cute face!

Look at her dirty knees. She has been playing hard.

Mama can't wait to kiss your crooked mouth!

I sent a package to Piper through Ann at Red Threads and she sent me new pictures of our girl!
