No news yet. We have not even heard about any packets in the mail. I guess it will be next week before we know anything. It is a bit disappointing, but what are we to do? We know that time is in the hands of the Lord, and everything will happen in His timing. All we can trust and obey. Please continue to pray for God's will to be done.

Is the stork finally about to land? Will we have a referal by Friday, or will it be next week? We are checking RQ several times a day and hoping to hear more news. After 28 months, we are going to have the information on our daughter. We are so excited and nervous.
Everyone, pray for us and our daughter.

I have been slacking on posts. Mommy was gone four days for work this last week and it was just us guys at home. We sure missed her and was very happy when she got back home.
We are puting the room back together since the water leak. I put up some ceiling tiles one evening this last week and I will be touching up a few more things this next week.
I took my dad to the VA clinic today to have his eye looked at. He has been having some difficulty with pain and watering of it for the last little while. The doc said that he had a blocked tear duct and poked around in his eye and expects for it to be fine. After the doctor visit we got to eat out and go shopping.
No news yet on Myli. WE ARE HOPING AND PRAYING that we will start hearing rumors the first of the week and get her referal by Friday. We know that every day is one day closer to bringing her home.

Not much to report from the last week. Last weekend we stayed the night at the state park and let the boys swim. It was a fun time and very affordable. We all enjoyed spending the night and swimming.
We had an eventful day yesterday. A water pipe broke and we had a little bit of a mess. A few ceiling tiles will have to be repaced and a few touchups here and there but not too bad. We will look over everything real good to make sure we don't miss any damage that needs to be replaced. We are blessed. It could have been a lot worse.

Today was another beautiful day. We had to go to Louisville to have our fingerprints redone. It was quick and easy. We didn't have to wait and we were in and out of the city easily.
After that, we took the boys to the zoo. It was a very good day,and we all enjoyed ouselves. It had been a little while since we had been.
We also had the opportunity to stop in and see some friends that live in Lousiville. It was good to see them. John, if you read this, sorry we missed you.

Today was the first weekday of spring break for the boys. It was a beautiful day. Loren got us four little plum trees and we planted them when I got home from work.
Well, it is official I guess. The cutoff date is Jan. 9th. We will have to wait one more month. Should we absolutely expect to get a referral in the next batch? We are going to be looking for it. After all this time we are excited, but we know anything can happen. We know that God has led us this far and we have to trust. Every day is one more day closer till we get to bring our daughter home.

Today is Sunday. It has been a wonderful day. It was beautiful and warm outside. After church today, Loren went to the park with his cousins. Landon and I took the bb guns out and hunted "monsters" in the woods. Jeremy had to work.
We are hoping that we will hear something tomorrow if we were in this batch of referrals or not. Will we have our daughters picture this month or next? We are hoping.

We are still waiting to hear what the cutoff date is. The rumors are that the cutoff is the 9th. We were getting so excited and now we don't know what to think. I guess we will have to wait until Monday. If we have to wait one more month, I think we can handle it after all this time.
