For those of you who do not know, we are living with friends right now. We are building a house that seems like it will never get finished and our gracious friends have taken us in in the mean time.
Living with friends means living with the bare minimum which means no desktop computer. The only way for us to get our pictures off the camera is to put them on the desktop which is currently at my parents. All of this to say, I am hardly ever able to get the pictures off of our camera and on to the world wide web.
Lucky for you (Janet :)), I was able to get pictures off the camera last week and onto our blog for your viewing pleasure.
Zeke turned 8, then 9, and now 10 months. I still need to take the 10 month pictures, so maybe I will post them in 3 months when I upload pictures again :)
We had some fun dates with our kiddos. Me and Tay went to see Beauty and Beast at TPAC and Mark took Noah to see some race cars.
We had a camp out in the back yard with the family we are staying with. The kids had a blast and actually slept through the night!
Halloween happened. We thought we would be in the new house by then, but since we are obviously not, all of our costumes are somewhere in storage. Thankfully we have sweet friends who let us borrow costumes.
Til next time....

What's next?
There is not much to report, but I want to pass along what
we do know.
Right now, there is about a one year wait from referral
until travel. If this holds true, we will travel to bring home our little girl sometime next fall.
Our attorney will go to court on our behalf in about 6
months. After that, the US Embassy will conduct an investigation that is
expected to take about 6 months.
The Congo has implemented a new investigation process that
has extended the time between when we pass court and when we travel to go and
bring our little girl home. Because this process is new, we are fairly uncertain
what to expect.
I know this is extremely vague, but I wanted to share any
details that we have. I will most definitely post updates as we get them.
This will probably be the longest year of our lives. Knowing
that our child is half way across the world where we cannot take care of her is
a hard reality. But I do know that she is in God’s hands and he will protect
her.
Please join us as we pray that our sweet little girl stays
healthy, is well taken care of, and that we get to bring her home before
expected!
