Progress these days is not measured in terms of the adoption. I plan to share more than JUST adoption info on this blog. It's about our family going through this process...so here's family update...
We are currently about 9 weeks into homeschooling Gavin and after a few bumpy weeks we seem to have a decent system down. He knows mroe what to expect and he seems to be doing pretty well. Seeming to retain what I'm teaching him. I think I've learned more about the Vikings and the Romans and the Bible than I have in MANY years ;) Gavin is also doing well in Awana and will be starting riding lessons soon. Random fact: He knows John 3:16...ask him next time you see him ;)
Caden is doing pretty well also. He sits with us and does 'school' with us in the morning for a little while. He's learning his letters/some sounds and reciting Bible verses along with Gavin. Peeing on the potty which is AWESOME to not have his diapers too! Random fact: Caden LOVES cheese....
Owen & Rylan are now crawling and are 9 months tomorrow. They're pulling up to a standing position as well. It won't be long before things are REALLY loud and crazy upstairs ;)
Steve is busy every Saturday...college football(go Badgers!!). I've been keeping busy with my mini store My Hands to Russia( https://hyenacart.com/stores/myhandstorussia ). 100% of profits of course go into the adoption account.
Overall as a family we're just living life and enjoying the chaos of the moment. We headed out to a pumpkin patch(it wasn't worth the $$ tho) last weekend and we're enjoying the cooler weather (FINALLY!!!). We were getting ready to start the home study but now we're teeter tottering again. We're weighing job options once again. We simply never intended to stay here in GA for 6 years. So we shall see...we know it is totally not up to us!
Current needs:
1. Prayers for His perfect timing and the safety of our daughter wherever she is in this world!
2. Prayers for clarification on where we should be location wise. This is something Steve and I constantly struggle with!
3. Spread the word on My Hands to Russia! Like me on FB too!
Thank you all for your support!!
