Year of the Sheep and an Update

Today marks 9 months that Micah has been in our family.  He continues to thrive and grow.  We are thankful to call him our son.  He just finished his first hockey season and is looking forward to baseball season!  The busy schedules resume very soon! 

 

Update:  Our paper work continues to hit unexpected delays.  We covet your prayers that our paperwork will be processed without further delays.  We are still hopeful for April travel, but that door will close in just a few days.  If we do not have the necessary paperwork by tomorrow, we will not travel until May.  Our agency has changed their travel dates and now our window to collect paperwork has decreased.  Typical travel timelines are about 8 weeks after receiving the approval letter (LOA).  Our LOA was in December.  We never imagined that we would possibly travel in April or May.  We thought our sweet girl would be home well before those dates.  We are very anxious for her to join our family.  Although it is disappointing to hear of delays, we are trusting that God has all the details.  We know that this is all in His timing.  Thank you for your prayers and support!

February 19th was Chinese New Year.  This year is the year of the sheep.  We did not celebrate until a week later because Matt was out of town.  Deanna took the kids to a new year celebration and the kids enjoyed the traditional dragon dance.  When Matt returned, we celebrated as a family.

 

Micah loves fish dumplings!
