Persistance!



We are in the middle of a big push to complete our paperwork! Our goal is to have the paperwork completed in the next week. There is so much required information, so many details, but...we know persistance will pay off.


Hope you all have a great week!

Our House Guest Are Gone
















I am just returning home from the airport where we dropped the Bensons off for their long flight home. It has been a great time having them in our home since the middle of June and we will miss them like crazy! It is amazing how you can have so many connections with people who literally live on the other side of the world. Our world is small and thank goodness we have modern communications to keep in touch with. We will miss Payton's little squeal around the house, Luke's sense of humor and Pauline's all around sweetness. Thanks guys for coming to see us and we pray that you will be back soon for a much longer stay. Believe it or not, seven weeks is not long enough. Call us when you get home!

We love you!
Nathan and Emily

Time to Get Moving!



I know it has been a while since I have updated my blog. Thank you to those of you who actually mentioned that you noticed it has been a couple of weeks since a post.

The Aussies are here until a week from today. We have been very busy spending time with them and we dread the day they leave. Our prayer is that this will only be a temporary good bye and that they will choose to move here very soon.

Many of you know that I recently changed jobs. Since we have to wait for me to build up time on the job for me to have benefits and vacation time, we have been purposely delaying the completion of our paperwork. After our guests leave, we plan to get on finishing our paperwork post haste! Jessica - get your notary stamp ready. We estimate that this will put us in line to "get" our baby about a year from now.

The last few months have been filled with ups and downs and we know God is preparing us for the bumpy road we will have until we finally at long last, bring our baby home. We are confident that God holds everything in His perfect timing and He has slowed us down. God knows the baby He has picked out for us and He knows the perfect time for us to proceed!

Thanks to all of you who continue to hold us up in prayer.
