Is it really July 28th?


Last published on July 12th...YIKES! Our internet access in ET was pretty much non existent, with the electricity off every other day and dial up soooooo slow, it became way to frustrating to post. We picked up the kids on Tuesday July 14th and arrived in the states on July 19th. It has been an amazing time with the three children, they are very loving and have not missed a beat. Gabe and Taylor have to be the most terrific brothers of all time. Having two extra adults on board was a blessing. The children keep us all on the go.

Our 19 hour (technical problems) really did go smoothly for the kids and I but Tim and Taylor came down with something on the flight that they are sill dealing with. We stayed Sunday night until 6:00pm on Monday in DC. There was some great family time and we appreciate all of the support. We drove back to Fl. via Greenville, SC to visit with graham. Great times in the hotel and pool. these kids love the water. They drink half of the pool but they are loving it and learning to swim. We got back to NPB on Wed. evening the 22nd. the kids woke up and there world was opened up in a huge way. Everything was amazing. We have been pleasantly suprised at how well the kids have done with the adjustment to a new life. There small orphanage, only 11 kids, with loving housemothers helped to enhance the childrens security. The church that support the kids was so loving to them and us throughtout our stay. We feel like we have family there, it is great!
Our greatest apprecaition goes to our friends and family here in the states. The love and encouragement you have shown has enabled us to take on this new journey. We never stop thanking God for you.
