Imagine my surprise when I find a new picture of Jaron on facebook. It took me back. .. . I knew it was him but thought it was recent and for a moment I thought he was still on this earth and his death was a bad dream. I can't tell you the connection I have to him and it was evident when I saw this picture. I have to say it was great to see a picture of him looking so good. I love this picture because it's just so sweet. I love to see the ayah holding him. When you look at this picture please remember and think of 20 other kids with special needs that Sarah needs to bring to her Covenant homes ASAP. She is raising funds for this so if you need any info--please let me know. Here is her site on facebook http://www.facebook.com/schindia.

WE WANT LUCY HOME!!!

Ok we are trying this again. I wrote a blog post last night and it didn't post. AHH!!!! Anyways the title says it all. We are praying and praying for Lucy to be home by Christmas. We got our hopes up and a little too sure of ourselves when we received our NOC after 4 wks and we were quoted a possible wait time of 8-16 wks. Well this wk marks 8wks for a court date. We were quoted 8-16 wks for this as well. We have to keep reminding ourselves that God wants Lucy home with us (her family) more than we do. It's just very hard and I don't think people realize it. I have been ok until the past few days and it has just caught up to me. I have a child that needs their mom. I kiss my boys to sleep every night and I wonder if anyone kisses her goodnight. I know Mike feels the same way. I honestly try not to discuss it because I feel like I will fall apart if so.

 We really need patience. This reminds me of a song: While I'm Waiting by John Waller.

Pray for us.
