Summer has been busy chasing the kids around.  Unfortunately no news on the adoption.  It is getting hard now.  We had hoped when we started to have the girls home by now.  Then we thought Sept was realistic. Now I have no idea when we will go.  That makes it hard.  If I had an end in site it would be easier but I don't,  There are issues processing LOA's and none have been issued for families adopting two children.  What this means is our girls are stuck in China until it is figured out.  That is hard.  We need everyone to pray they figure it out and our LOA is on top of the list to approve.  We are ready to bring our girls home and I know they are ready to come home.

 

Here are so pictures of what is keeping us busy while we wait!

Max seeing which salad dressing he wants while eating a bag of shredded cheese.

Larry wouldn't put Mia in the jeep because she was wet.  So, Mia go the wagon and climbed on in herself!  She is the best problem solver.

Macy had her summer come to a sudden stop when she got her tonsils out on Monday.  No fun at all :(

Max thinks he needs to feed the dogs, and now he does the same with the cats.  Not helping!

Still working on selling rest of the Fiesta Ware!

Macy the mermaid.

 

Lots of snuggle time

Max doesn't need help getting applesauce, he figured it out himself.

Macy's countdown.

Mia loves corn on the cob.

Max chose the butter.........ew!

 

That is all so far.  Nothing new on the girls :(  School will be starting soon so time is going to fly by.  Again, please pray that the paperwork gets figured out.  We are on a step that used to take 30-60 days just a few months ago.  We are at 83 days with no end in site.  There are many families that are way over 100 days.  For now I just need a break from the computer.  It doesn't seem to help so I will just enjoy the kids at home, pray for our girls in China and keep waiting to hear good news from our agency. 

 

We have been blessed with some very generous donations.  I don't get thank you's out as soon as I should but we appreciate it all so much.  It is just amazing how God has provided for us with this adoption.  It is looking like when the call does come, we should be fully funded.  Money will not stand in the way of us getting our girls.  Last November when we started this process we had no idea how we would pay for it all.  We hadn't saved anything.   What an incredible leap of Faith!
