PHOTOS!

Here are just a few of what we have taken so far. Here we are doing puzzles. The girls are already solving 100 piece sets!
 

The fine art of funny faces



 
Donig laundry the old-fashioned way. Which actually gets the clothes notably cleaner.
The village near the church.

Gangster squad ready to go to our first court date.


Home sweet home for now...

 
The girls went to get their TB tests today and took the needles like champs. We will return to the immigration office to finish the physicals on Monday. Tuesday we see the judge for our final ruling. If all goes well, we can get the passports and finish our interview with the embassy to get the girls' visas and come home.  Thank you for your steadfast prayers, and know that they are being answered. Our time here has been very good. People have been very kind and hospitable, and we are well cared for. Please pray for our daughters as they are having good days and bad. They have had a few breakdowns during very busy and overwhelming days, and the magnitude of all this change is not lost on them. They are excited about coming home with us, but it does not make the loss of what was once home any easier.
Now if you'll excuse me, my daughter wants to brush my hair- and you just don't say "no" to that.
 
Love and miss you all!!!!

  3. Hi guys, I am finally taking the time to learn how to comment and get it posted. We check for updates frequently, and enjoy immensely everything you have shared. I can't even imagine the emotion, enjoyment, and everything else that you & the girls are feeling. What an awesome God we have! He has & desires nothing but the best for us, and often times we don't even realize it. Praise Him for his marvelous timing, His ways, and His desire to be a part of everything we are doing. We are one with you in your prayers, excitement, and we hope and pray that everything continues to prosper for you. Love you all and can't wait to meet our nieces and have you all back with us soon. Derek & Rebecca
