Things are Quiet and Busy



I was hoping to get this post up last month but obviously that didn't happen.  On the adoption front things have been quiet and we expect them to be for the next 2-3 years.  That is the average wait time from the Philippines right now.  We continue to pray and trust that God will open the doors at the right times.  Life here moves along and we feel as though He is preparing us for the right time.

The boys pray regularly for their new brothers or sisters and still ask when they are coming home.  This is very encouraging to us.  We know that it will not be an easy transition for anybody but pray that God is using this time to prepare all of us for the new adventure.

We are all staying very busy.  This summer there are about 49 days when I am not working, of those either the boys or I have activities/vacations on 32 of them.  Needless to say there are not a lot of house projects getting done this summer.  One thing that is keeping us busy is vacations with family.  We are blessed to be able to spend time with every one of our immediate family members this summer.  The boys have really enjoyed playing with their cousins and it is probably a good preparation as well.
