Well, I don't have all of the pictures I need to post and show you what we've done over the last few weeks that wore us out so that will have to wait...
At the moment, we are gearing up to start school, but more importantly, we are getting ready for our Shriner's visit at the end of this week. At the moment, 4 of the 5 children in our house have got the sniffles. Our oldest daughter has gotten it the worst and she was supposed to go with us. However, we can leave her home, if necessary. It's Daughter of Purpose that we are urgently praying doesn't get sick before her visit this week. Yes, we could reschedule the appointment if we needed, but we are so looking forward to this day that we would be so let down if we had to wait longer. Please join us in praying for Daughter of Purpose to remain healthy through the weekend. Next week, she can be sick all she wants! We'll let you know how our visit goes once we're back.
1 Samuel 1:27 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him."
We traveled to a place that is about 14 degrees (on a good day) so that we could pick up our daughter. Were we crazy? Nope--we just have a heart that is open to following wherever God leads us to adopt.
If you've arrived at our blog because you are adopting from Murmansk, Russia and you want to learn more...you can either start at the beginning of our blog or you can work backwards from when we brought Daughter of Purpose home in May of 2008. We're so glad you're on the road to bringing an orphan into your family. It's at the center of God's heart!

Here she is!
