and 3 more makes 10

just a quick update here. . .

We are all set to pick up our 3 boys on Monday. For any new readers out there, these are the 3 biological brothers of the 3 sisters we have had with us for the past 2 months. . . we are adopting all of them out of the U.S. Foster Care System. Everyone around our house is thrilled and we hear that the oldest boy (Mr. J - age 8) is really excited to see his sisters again and to finally get to be a part of our family. The other boys are quite young (2 and 3) and we aren't sure they have any idea what is really going on, but we are all ready to pour on the love and are praying that they will receive it and that the attachment and bonding process will move along well, according to the Lord's will.

We would really appreciate your prayers, as we have definitely had a bit of a spiritual battle going on here lately (especially with our health). Also, if you would please pray for Kim and Ben and their family, that would be awesome. They have had a hard couple of months but continue to faithfully serve Him and trust Him. What a blessing to be able to lift them up and intercede on their behalf.
