Yes, we have begun a new school year and we are still waiting for our girl.
It is hard to write those words and even harder to say, I feel as though I might choke saying them. I'm not going to lie, the wait is hard. It is hard to describe but part of my heart is on the other side of the world with a little girl we've never met. "She" is ALWAYS in the back of my mind. We aren't matched yet, but hoping and praying for soon. VERY SOON.
We continually hold onto 1 Corinthians 2:9 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”...
This summer was busy with family and fun... A few highlights...
 |
| The boys came home from the last day of school to their dad and two older cousins in from Kentucky "surprising" them with an all-out water balloon war. Over 200 water balloons gone in less than 5 minutes. They have the BEST dad. |
 |
| Lots of sand.. |
 |
| And lots and lots of swimming! |
 |
| Ranger game |
 |
| Champe's first Camp |
 |
| Eli at baseball camp. He could have done this all summer! |
 |
| Champe performing in Kid Summer Praise |
 |
| Celebrating Eli's 7th birthday with a "drive-in movie". |
 |
| Genevieve's first gymnastic lesson. She loved it! |
 |
| Lots of fun this summer, but our sweet girl is ALWAYS on our hearts. Sweet Genevieve drew this picture one day. The people in the pic are her and her daddy (she has the pink legs :) ). The object on the right is China. She decided enough with this waiting... She and Mark and just going to go get her. We all just want her home! |
Will you pray with us?
Love and Blessings,
Melissa
