New Bikes!

By -
This was a busy but fun weekend! We had a nice day celebrating Father's Day with Tom.

Here are three of our kids wearing our adoption shirts, "They Are Precious In His Sight".
They love wearing them and carrying their bags.



Here are Benjamin, Michael, and Allison being silly in a tree. They were having a good time together.

Allison was part of the pit band for a "School House Rock JR." play at her school. She played 6 of the 12 songs on the piano. The band sounded great. They had three performances.


Here is Benjamin on his new bike. (Michael got a new bike for his birthday so Benjamin got Micheal's too small bike)
Michael will be eight years old tomorrow. This is his birthday present! He is proud of the gears and hand brakes. He loves how fast it goes.
Allison will be eleven in 13 more days. She also got a new bike for her birthday. They really had fun riding them. We have 2 1/2 days of school left the kids are ready to start summer break. Michael finished soccer, Allison is finished with her play and band, and Sara has a few more finals. Allison and Michael just started flag football on Saturday. Michael got drafted for the Cardinals and Allison got drafted for the Redskins. It should be a fun season.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there!
Please pray for the families getting ready to travel, the ones with court days this week, the ones waiting for court dates, and lots of referrals.... Please pray for all the people in Ethiopia.
and Have a Great Week!

Today at 4:25 the call came.... It is 4:25 I was sitting out by the pool just getting ready to get in. The neighbor had just left and my kids were swimming. I sit on the edge to slide in and just then the phone rings. I think I will see who it is, but I am not going to answer it. It says 703.... oh my I think that is America World, I start crying. I answer the phone and it is Terra she asked me how I was, I ask is this "the call" she says yes... I am yelling at the kids get out of the pool, on the deck, no off the deck, close up the pool, it's "the call" I am just crying and going crazy! The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som

Hello again. It is Thursday night! We went to Kids Care Orphanage today. That is where Daniel lived from March 31st until June 10th. It was really sad to see all the kids there that do not have families waiting to pick them up. We got some great videos of the older kids in their school singing the ABC's and singing in Amharic. We passed out granola bars and dum dums. We also took some playground balls. When we took Daniel into the home and told the nannies, that we had Fitsum, they just went crazy. They were so excited to see him. They held him and kissed him, and spent time talking to him. One of them talked to him in Amharic and Robel our guide translated it for us on video. There were rooms of healthy children, rooms of sick kids, rooms of toddlers, and the school house of about 30 kids. The kids just couldn't get enough attention from us. I went around the school house and the toddler room and got down to their level and hugged every one of them. It was all I could do to no
