Today dear friends of ours are getting on a plane with their 3 kids (and 1 in the oven) and flying to Uganda to pick up their precious little girl that they are adopting. The adoption process has been going on since last October and for the next 6 weeks they will be in Uganda attending court dates, bonding with their new child and anxiously awaiting the day when they can come home and be a family.

This morning Tasha stopped by to say goodbye, one last time :( It is so hard to say goodbye, no matter what the circumstance is. I am over joyed for them, but sad that they will be gone for so long. The fact that they are bringing back their new child to love and raise as their own makes me sooooo emotional!

So, please join me over these next 6 weeks and pray for their safety, their health, that the Lord would show favor to their family and make this process quick and easy. That there would be no delay and that maybe, just maybe, they could be home in time for October 31 because their son Zeke absolutely LOVES wearing costumes and it would thrill his heart to be able to wear a costume again AND get candy for wearing it, ha!! ( He is not allowed to take his costumes to Uganda )

Josh, Tasha, Areyna, Zeke, & Cai, we cannot wait for you to come back and introduce us all to your new little sister Alethia! I love ya'll!
