AWESOME STUFF!!!

Ok...we have had fun things going on here in the last couple of days!! Muluken had a doctor's appt. We previously had been told that treatment was eminent for his condition...I was not looking forward to that at all. BUT all of his bloodwork was good enough and his ultrasound was perfect...so no treatment. He still has to be monitored, but does not have another appt for a year!! That is a big praise!!!

Then yesterday we got to witness three of our friends families re-adopt their beautiful Ethiopian American children here in Rolla!!! We sort of referred them to our lawyer and they all got to have their court date on the same day!!! One travelled all the way from Ozark, about 2 hours away!! It was great to see them again and by God's grace I got out of work earlier than ever and got to be there for it!!! YEAH GOD!!! I am so excited for them and took pictures, but will not steal their thunder!!

Our annual trip to Six Flags occurred this week too!! Fun times were had by all!!

Our friends the Reddings from Texas sent us word that they were flying in our America World liason, "T", to stay in Texas with them for three weeks!! What I would give to take a trip to Texas for a week while he is there!! The boys love Mr. T and he is such a neat young man making a world of difference for kids in Ethiopia and families in America. The coolest thing about him is his love for Christ! I think there is a picture of him from our posts from last summer...can't remember!

So...cool happenings....hope you all are having cool happenings in your neck of the woods too!!!

Oh Steph, would you please post our picture from court? I think yours probably turned out a bit better than ours...it's really dark! You could just email it to me, if you wanted!

Steph - what a sweet suprise it was for you guys to show up! I would love to have copies of your pictures you took.

How fun that T is getting to come to the US. Our kids loved Mr. T as well!!

Great news! How comforting to know that God's hand is on our children and He is caring for them, even when it feels like there's nothing we can do.

And I agree with you; I'd love to go to Texas and see "T" Samuel was too young to remember him, but we sure love that guy! Hope he has a great experience here in the USA!
