"Our Daddy may have only had a third grade education, but he could read the King James Bible, " says Helen Ashe. He taught us three things: 1. There is but one race-- the human race. 2. There is but one Father--the Heavenly Father. 3. Never take the last piece of bread from the table. (Helen Ashe co-founder of the Love Kitchen)"

We pretty much have China on our mind all the time lately. We received our I800 approval last week and our NVC letter yesterday. Our agency rep delivered our packet to the US Embassy in Guangzhou today!!. We hope to have our Article 5 in mid October (The Embassy is closed the first week of October) and then we will wait for our Travel Approval. I don't even know what language I am speaking anymore. HA! What I do know is we are another step closer. Thank you Jesus. We would love to travel in November, but it looks like it will be December. We are so excited!
Our lunch today and our current read aloud.
Eben helped me make lunch. He loves Chinese food. Eben and Joel's first meal in America was Chinese food with Jim in NYC.
I was so tickled tonight..we walked up to the park and he had brought his "Samuel" with him. So sweet. I hope he is as enamored with him when he comes home. The latest measurements we have put Ben-Ben and Samuel at the same exact size (Ben-Ben is 2 and Samuel is 5) Thanks for following along with us on this blessed journey!~

We just brought home our sweet 3 year old son from Ethiopia. He is a joy and his seven siblings love him!
