A dear new friend of mine, Gina, whom I met in Guatemala on our first visit trip in August emailed this verse to me last night, "Be joyful always; pray continually; giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will for you in Christ Jesus" I Thessalonians 5:16-18. That was my focus verse today, as I am trying my hardest to stay focused on the Lord- and not the daily ups and downs of this adoption process.
One bit of news today is that DNA arrived to the Guatemalan Embassy at 3:40 pm. Woo Hoo!!! I guess we'll start our wait for visa pre-approval tomorrow. I read today that the PA wait is back up to 60 days. That stinks! That's 60 whole days where Bella sits in her orphanage and nothing happens with her case.
I better start thinking about that verse again!
Monday
Woo Hoo!!!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
