8 Days until we leave!!!!  


Yes we are excited, but could use some prayers.

  • Spiritual protection.  We have been feeling the attacks...
  • We can get all of our ducks in a row...lately it's felt more like squirrels than ducks and squirrels are never in a row.  
  • The kids and I can focus on school these last few days.  Homeschool is great but we might be a bit distracted this week.
  • For the hearts of Miley and Jasper.  They will be staying with sweet friends and Rebecca's parent's while we are in China.  Our sweet friends have 8 kids and 3 are from the same orphanage as Miley and CC and Grandad are just wonderful! We feel so blessed that they are caring for our lovelies, but cry easily thinking about leaving them.
  • Our three older kids hearts too.  They will be traveling with us to adopt their brother.  I'm praying that God uses this trip to open their hearts to Him.  I'm praying that this trip is life changing for us all.
  • Health, oh we don't want to get sick this week or while in China!!!
  • Lastly, and most importantly, is for our son Theodore.  Please pray that God is preparing our Theo's heart, soul, and mind for us.  September 10 his life is going to change forever and we have no idea how much his orphanage has told him about us or even that we are coming.

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Day 3: July 28

Today was THE day!  Miley Mengcong Bostrom’s Gotcha day!  We woke up anxiously at 5am and waited until 6:30 before going down to breakfast.  Breakfast was wonderful.  There were all kinds of food we had never had before and some that looked familiar like fruit, sausage, and bacon.   We had to wait until 10:30 until finally getting to meet Miley so we walked around the inside and outside of the hotel.  There is a lap pool that is amazing. We can’t wait to swim in it….maybe tomorrow.  We found a bakery that sells the cutest cakes in the shape of cars or cartoon characters.  We will probably buy one for Miley, because tomorrow is her birthday.  We were mainly trying to waist time… When it was finally time, our guide told one family member come outside and get your new child.  Well that wasn’t going to happen, Jeff and I both went with him….and….we….waited….again!  It was probably one a couple of minutes, but suddenly we saw three people with three babies walking toward th
