A week and a half ago I got a new hairdo. Even though I’m in the process of undoing it right now, I thought you may want to see some pictures from the adventure. A friend from church who is a hair stylist did it. It took her about 3 hours, but by the time […]

Checking in once again from the looooooong and winding road 🙂 Yesterday we drove only about 6 hours, from South Dakota to Gillette, Wyoming. We stayed at our ‘favorite’ hotel… it has a fantastic indoor water park which our girls just LOVED last year, and again this year. Any road trip is better with Starbucks, […]

Friday was another long day to Cape Coast. By the way, it is about 21/2 to 3 hours to this city that has the court house so as you can imagine, between the two families we had 3 very tired kids who were REALLY off their schedule. We started out just as early. Our little […]

Well, we made it out of Missouri! Linguistics is over until the Cherokee practicum this fall. We packed, cleaned, and yesterday we moved out of our apartment. It was a little bittersweet… it has been many years since we initially desired to receive NTM’s training. And now (hindsight often feels like the mere blink of […]

Today we left at 5:30 to go to Cape Coast for our adoption court appointment. We made great time, got there early, waited 3 hours and then found out that our judge was sick and could maybe see us tomorrow. Very disappointed but this happens sometimes. So, we will be going tomorrow and catching our […]

Hi all! Just a regular old day here. Spent a lot of it with our little girl at the hotel. Our first couple of friends flew home today and a new couple came. Very fun to have other adoptive parents around. We all will be going to court together to officially adopt our kids TOMORROW! […]

Yesterday, we were expecting to be able to sleep in little bit as the other family was going to be going to court for their adoption and we didn’t have anything until around noon. We got to bed late the night before but then got woken up at dawn to go for a walk. The […]

This morning we were able to sleep in. One interesting thing here is that the power in the city is not consistent. Shower when you can. We found out this morning that we probably have a better chance at showering at night. We went to meet most of the agency team this morning, picked up […]

What a wonderful day! We had asked the in-country agency team if we could visit an African church while we were here. SO, last night our case worker said we could all go with her (another family is here too) AND she’d pick up their child and ours before!!! We met our little girl and […]

We’re down to only 3 1/2 weeks before our June 4 return to Asia Pacific. The next few weeks will be filled with packing, shopping for the things we need to take back with us, and saying a lot of very difficult and emotional goodbyes. We appreciate your prayers for us during this time. Last […]
