Weekend

If you think of us, please pray. Fridays without news are sometimes hard--just coming to the end of a Friday means there will be two more days without word from Rwanda. In this case-it's a "good" thing, because Peter is out of town and now there's a greater chance of us being TOGETHER when we get our referral. :) Nevertheless, I'm aching to know about our Myles. How old is he? How much does he weigh? What is his story? What is his name? What makes him laugh? Will he want to be snuggled as much as I want to snuggle him? He's chosen and waiting. Really can't wait for that referral...but have to.

I know that many people are holding you all in their hearts this weekend...; February 27, 2009 at 7:59 PM

We met with our social worker tonight. She's so wonderful. Hopefully we'll have our part of the paperwork done in the next month...; February 27, 2009 at 8:56 PM
