Baby #2

A little announcement for anyone who's interested . . . WE'RE "EXPECTING!"

We have officially begun the adoption process for our second child. In the past several months we have been studying scripture, praying and discussing adoption and we feel that the Lord is leading us to adopt our next child. We have decided on a domestic adoption through an agency in VA. Right now we are halfway through our home study and we have been accepted through the pre-application process at our agency of choice! After our orientation, we should be under consideration by birthmothers toward the end of 2008 or beginning of 2009. Then, we just have to be picked by a birthmother! We are so very excited about this. Please be praying for us as we complete this process and "labor" for baby #2. This "pregnancy" is quite different than the previous one in a lot of ways, but similar in many ways too. Both end in bringing home a newborn baby to raise!

Love you all! We'll keep you updated through the process.

Summer News

Hello all! I didn't realize that it had almost been 2 months since I had posted. Wow. A lot has transpired since then! We are now at camp in Western KY. Everything is going well so far. God enabled us to find a wonderful housesitter for the house in Louisville while we're gone. Here at camp, the staff is amazing and our family's residential quarters totally rock! We are spending the summer in the brand-new welcome center in an apartment on the 1st floor. It is wonderful! Kilee has adjusted well and is enjoying her new surroundings. The theme this year is "Blueprint: A Call to Radical Faith and Obedience" and is based on Matthew 7:24-27.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

We are super excited about the material and what God is going to do this summer in the hearts of thousands of students. We'll keep you updated on what's happening at camp!

We miss all of our friends at home! We'll see you soon!
