Summer Time
























Well, it has been a long time since my last post. There has been so much going on since then. We are finally out of school and enjoying summer. Between baseball with Steven and soccer camp with Thomas and relaxing, we have been enjoying our summer. One very exciting thing that has happened, is that we are very excited to announce that we will be adding to our family through adoption! We are adopting a little girl from Liberia, Africa (the same place from which we adopted Thomas from). She is 4 years old and her name is Josephine. I am so excited and a little nervous too, since we have only had boys, as girl is going to be a whole new experience! I have started to get some girl things here and there, since I have absolutely nothing girl in our house:). My family is pretty mixed about the whole situation. I have some that are really excited for us, then we have some that don't agree with what we are doing. But, God led us to her and that is all that we need. He showed us that this is the child for us. The boys are excited and enjoy picking things out for her. I do ask for your prayers, for one we think that it is a very good possiblity that I will be the one to have to travel and two we do not have all of the $ yet. We still have a substantial amount to get, but we are trusting God that he already knows where it will come from. Mike is also starting a new job and is working very hard to get things ready for that. So as you can tell we are very busy and are so excited for what is to come. We know there will be adjustments with everyone and things will not be perfect, but we truly feel that God will get us through whatever situation may arise.
I will post pictures as I can.

Hello Andrea,

Thank you for your comments. I have tried emailing you however I don't know if you received it. I will see the children tomorrow at church and I will take pictures of your little one and email them to you. I'm also going to go to Old Road and see James' (my brother) who was adopted from WACSN so I will video tape her saying hello if she understands what I'm asking her to do and then I can send you a copy of it in the mail. When are you coming to get your little girl? How did you find my blog....God is truly amazing!

In Him,

Breana
