More Photos and Prayers for Ethiopia Adoptions

Please pray that those who have it in their power to allow orphans to go home with forever families will open their hearts and allow this to happen. Without getting specific, this is a prayer need right now with some families who are waiting to bring home their kiddos. Every time we hear of snags and hold-ups, we are ever grateful to have our two babies in our arms. We will NEVER forget the process we went through and the obstacles we overcame to bring them home.
(Sorry for the sideways photos...will try to fix that!)









Happenings--NEW PHOTOS!

All is well for us. We survived a blizzard...literally. Thank the Lord, we never lost power and never got stuck in the snow. Of course, we were very conservative about when we got out. Zeke built a snowman (see photo below)--he was very proud of his creation and was very sad when it melted. Zeke will have surgery for his crossing eyes on March 16. We'd appreciate your prayers. The doctor expects everything will go smoothly and I feel peaceful about the surgery...there's no choice really if we want to preserve his vision.

Quilla is walking very well. We expect to end her therapy sessions next month. We had gone from weekly visits to monthly visits in December and already, she's doing so well, we'll suspend the visits and go to phone calls. She'll probably be dismissed from the First Steps program altogether in August.

Quilla knows how cute she is!

Zeke and Quilla love to play together...most of the time.

Cute at Christmas.

Cute babies!!
