¡Hola! everyone at the ARC for Family Camp. It´s soooo disappointing to not be there with you. Hopefully we´ll be able to come up and visit on Friday so you all can meet Nicholas. Have a wonderful and blessed week!!!!
Today was our last Sunday at Brother Lingo´s church. Usually we are able to get the gist of his sermons based on the notes he gives in the bulletin. He always gives the references and Shelby, Rachel and I follow along that way. Today we got to church, opened the bulletin to find the references and there was nothing but lines. Rachel and I laughed and laughed and laughed. Brother lingo was very nice about it though. After telling us he ran out of time to do the bulletin study guide, he made copies of his sermon notes for us. We studied Namaan today. Our final song was "He´s able". How appropriate of our journeys...
Rachel and Shelby got disappointing news this evening. Their tickets home are booked for Wednesday. Unfortunately, they were told tonight that it´s impossible to get their paperwork done by then. They will have to switch their flight to Thursday. Since they will need 6 tickets, it will cost about $1000. And even then, will there be 6 seats available????? I pray so!!!! We all just try to remember how big our God is.
Here are some pics of the weekend...
Nikkie counting her millions...of Peso´s, that is. The peso is worth roughly half of the US dollar right now. When we´re shopping, we´ll look at the price and divide by 2 to get the approximate Us Dollar amount. It´s kind of fun to carry around a $50 million bill. It´s worth about $25 US.
See Papi. Mama makes sure I brush my teeth every night.
It´s hard to see him, but this is Keenan. He was adopted from FANA 2 years ago in Sept. He and Nicko were probably in the nursery together. His mommy and Daddy are here from Boston and are adopting another baby boy. The baby is precious, but has no name. Daddy has ´til tonight to choose.I´m off. Tomorrow we go to the embassy for Nickp´s Visa. I´m excited!!!! Have a good night!

Thanks for the adorable photo's. I so can't wait to squeeze that little boy.
Well, just 2 more days!!!
I am so sorry for your friends that had delays as well. 6 tickets to replace ouch.
The kids are doing well today. It is hotter today. I gave them permission to play play station but they are playing out side. I had kicked them out for 2 days last week, so maybe it got into there system to play outside. I got to see Charley last night! I so wanted to pick him up and snuggle him, but I just enjoyed seeing him through a window for now. He had good color and looked like he was taking a good nap. (other then the tubes). He is in good hands.
Well, I need to clean up the lunch mess so I can make a supper mess.
Have a good day.
Hello!
So excited you're almost home! Wish I could meet you at the airport, but Tracey is on nights and I didn't think I should probably leave the boys. :)
Looking forward to meeting your little boy...and kissing those chubba cheeks!

I'm still loving the photos. I think his smile gets bigger everytime I see it. It is hard to believe how far God has taken him. From the first day when there were very few smiles, a whole lot of tears and not even crawling to, from what we have seen lately, tons of smiles and walking. I love the picture because they are such an encouragement to me just to see his little smiling face.
We will continue to pray for you and your flight home. I am sure Nicholas has never been on a plane before so I will be praying that it will not be too scary for him and that you will have safe travels.
We miss you and I hope you know that there is definately a feeling that something is missing when you are not at church on Sunday. See you soon!
