Only God!!!!!

i just have to say... 

i wouldn't trade this journey with the Lord... 

even through all the heartache, tears shed and changed plans!!

God is doing some amazing things in the lives of BOTH boys!!

Please keep praying and AS SOON AS I CAN share... i will...

trust me when i say...

God is showing JUST HOW BIG HE IS

and HOW SMALL WE THINK!

so... we've only been here 2 1/2 days and SO much has already happened!

we all reunited only 45 min after we arrived at the rental :)

PRAISE JESUS for Cindy & Andy and their friend Jenny,

they had already worked on our rental and it was completely 

ready for our stay  (coke, groceries and all!!).

Yesterday we slept in....

then got acclimated to our surroundings...

(in which Gracie took seven really mean fire ant bites to the foot)...

took an emergency trip to the dentist for Jordan...

(her filling in her tooth came out as soon as we arrived and was quite painful)...

AND then...

took a trip to the mall (of course you know we went to McDonald's for Deb and Gracie

and the pizza place for the rest of us)!

SO... today we saw the judge...

we left at 7:30 a.m... to travel 20 miles...

and arrived at 9:00 a.m. :)

we spent a couple of hours there... where Gracie taught Erik the spy eyes 

(yes a proud moment in the courthouse :)

went to eat lunch 

and arrived back at the house in the HOT weather!!

then Erik, Scott and Gracie (and some neighbor boys)

 had a rough game of soccer...

(where Gracie took one in the face)

then they swam in what my girls are calling a storm :)

so... now we've washed clothes at the Kennedy's 

and have ordered pizza... 

it has been a whirlwind... but a GOOD one!

our home visits begin tomorrow...

so we will be up and at them early again tomorrow!

thanks for your prayers...

we feel every one!
