He's Here!!!





Sorry for getting a little side-tracked again, but the much anticipated arrival of our grandson finally happened today. His poor mother was 11 days over due. What a trooper! Our new grandson was born today at 1:15p.m. He weighed in at a whopping 9lbs. 11oz. Everyone is doing great!

Melia Returns!!
















Our daughter Melia returned on Friday the 12th from her mission to Toronto, Canada. Needless to say, it's great to have her home.

This Just In - Tamila and Tonia at the orphanage.


This picture just arrived today from Cindy Miller who is now in Ukraine working on her adoption. Many thanks to her and the other families who are visiting with our children until we get there. No date for us yet, but we expect one soon. Don't worry, we'll let you know!!!!

Some of our creations!





Ray and Tonia laying out the stash.


Louise and Tonia putting on the final touches.

One big happy family! Our family gets together every year for our annual pumpkin carving night. It was especially fun this time, as we watched Tonia and Tamila experience their very first Halloween.


Sisters - Polly, Tamila, Tonia, Brooke

First arriving at the airport after a long flight. The girls with Cassandra.

Here's some pictures of the girls when they were here last fall. They loved Halloween. Who wouldn't? - you go around, knocking on doors and people give you candy!!! I hope to have updated pictures soon from one of the families that is over there now.

OH HAPPY DAY!!!

Just received word that our dossier has now been accepted by the SDA. Now we wait to hear when our travel date will be. The sooner the better! Although at this point we can wait until Melia comes home on Sept. 12th and Claire has this baby. Today is her due date. We'll keep you posted.
