Officially Waiting

Well we are now officially waiting for the referral of the newest addition to our family. We have completed the seemed-to-be never ending paperwork and have received our approvals from both the Canadian and Vietnamese governments. Our agency feels confident that we should have a referral by October/November. Wouldn't it be amazing to have our little one home for Christmas! Thanks to all of you who have been so patient with us throughout his process. It has been both mentally and emotionally consuming for both us and those who are close to us. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy process and a healthy child.





As always summer is flying by. The kids are enjoying life at the beach....and have the tans to prove it. We have had prefect weather up this way. I can't believe it's back to school in four weeks.







We went camping for a few days in July and my fearless daughter found a huge snake and nabbed the poor thing within seconds. She definitely has a soft spot for creepy crawly things! She tells us when she grows up she wants to be "Avery the Snakemaster" (like the TV show). It's not quite the career choice I would like to see her pursue but I have to admit she is very good at catching things that are squirmy and slimy....it's the letting them go part she has trouble with!

Hope every one enjoys the rest of the summer.
