"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."                   Proverbs 13:12

I can't sleep.  Erika woke up a couple of hours ago cuz she was hot and now I am wide awake.  

We visited the Dr. yesterday afternoon.  It went well.  Pray for Alex because the Dr. said he still has a heart murmur.

It is conceivable that we could go home Thursday if everything goes perfect and flights are available.  Hopefully, we will be home no later than Saturday.  If we could get Erika's birth certificate early in the morning, get her passport, get the Dr. to sign off, get to the embassy by late morning; then we could pick up the visas in the late afternoon and then we would be done.

Everyone please pray for my sister-in-love Dru.  She has gone thru and is going thru much big time physical ailment.  She has been SO awesome to us and she needs the blessing of your prayer.  Thanks!

These kids are kids.  They are not perfect but I am so proud of them after all they have been thru.  I absolutely can not wait to show them off to everyone at home.  Again, we have been blown away from the support of our family and friends.  By the grace of God, mankind still has many kind men (and women).  That last sentence could only be thunk up from me at 4 in the morning!

You're going to be home soon! Wow! It sounds like everything is happening quickly even with the snags. We can't wait to have you home again, and please let us know if there is anything we can do to get things ready for your arrival! (really, anything!)
I also have to say, Erika and Nate, you two look beautiful in the mornings. =)

Rena some of your students are asking when you are going to be back in the States, they miss up (as we all do at THS)and want to know about your kiddos! Wish I would have been here when you called and talked to Pat. See you soon!
