AMAZING GRACE

Here is Jennalee's fall recital. She typically plays this song better than she did on stage -- she was pretty scared while she was up there. We are proud of her for being so brave! If you listen closely you may hear someone humming along -- that is Adeline.

The next day she played the same song as an offertory at church. She played really well and it was really sweet to see her using her gifts in such a way. Enjoy.

COURT DATE!!!

We just found out that little sister has a court date scheduled for December 24, 2008.


Merry Christmas!!!!!


If all goes well (please pray that it will!) we will probably be traveling early February.

ADOPTION UPDATE

If you are wondering why we haven't had any news about our adoption, it's because there hasn't been any. In fact, today was kind of a hard day around the house. We are getting tired of waiting. A few people we know have recently had court dates, and we haven't even gotten a second picture!

You know how great it is when you first get engaged after you've been dating for awhile? And then you realize that being engaged really is pretty awful -- it's awful because in your mind you have committed yourself but in the real world you aren't any closer to being married. Well, that's where we are with this adoption. It is wonderful to have a picture of this little girl and know her name, etc. But it is also more difficult because we actually have a picture of her and we know her name.

If you think of it, please pray for her and us. Pray that we'll wait well. Pray that God will keep this little girl in the palm of his mighty hand. Of course, we will share more when we can.
