I LOVE Surprises!!!

Well, today was Colten's first day of school which brought a whole lot of excitement. He had a GREAT first day of school and really loved it! We got a surprising message today from a friend who went to Liberia with us back in Feb. of 2009, he went back with a few men from his church in Chicago IL this past week. He sent us a message informing us that he made a surprise visit to Onah and Marie on his way to the airport! He took some pics for us and a short video. He won't be able to send us the video until he's back in the states, but we got some wonderful pictures of our little sweeties last night! What a great ending to a great day!!!


Marie will turn two August 19th!!! Can't believe how big she got so fast!!


Love the look on his face! ha! Onah turned 2 in April. He looks like a little man!


Brother and sister :) They look like the took the guests much better than last time...no tears! (I really think it had to do with the large crowd last time. Only 3 visitors this time instead of 20 some, that would be pretty tramatic!)

Ok, so many times now there have been meetings scheduled for adoptions and the government in Liberia and every time they have been canceled due to someone being out of the country! So, I believe this is the 5th try or something...LET'S ALL PRAY THE MEETING HAPPENS!!!! Tues., August 17th the meeting has been scheduled yet again in Liberia. Please pray for all parties to be available for the meeting and for God to move a mountain in the government and the moratorium be lifted for our children! We see many children coming home from other countries in Africa and while we are excited for those families we wish it was our family being brought together. I will keep you posted on the meeting when I hear more.
Praying and Trusting in God, our life planner.
