Assembled by God. Together. Forever. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Again, we have good news! This seems to be a growing trend and we're loving every moment of it. On Monday, we received our I-800 approval! This means that the US government says we're qualified and have gotten the 'ok' to bring Elsie into the United States as our daughter. No RFE's- praise the Lord! This is going fast! Once we submit our Article 5 packet, which could possibly happen next week- I think I'd say we've made it to 3rd base so ...

Assembled by God. Together. Forever. Saturday, June 27, 2015. 111 Days. the BIG little thing. Tonight was a first I've been waiting for 111 days. Most parents would be like 'yay, the kid already knows how to hold her own bottle, that's great'. It actually started last night. I think last night, on day 110. she fell in love with me. All those days before- she liked me, she was glued to me many of those days and she would come to me no matter what. But, I don't think she really loved or tru...Amazingly, Go...

I think we're into the range where getting the call could 'possibly' happen. Possibly. As in- the odds are small but they exist and if everything went exceedingly awesomely, it could. In the mean time. we're packing life full of craziness. Kaleb is still loving preschool! Monday, September 15, 2014. Just, Praise the Lord. Saturday, September 6, 2014. Go be ...

Assembled by God. Together. Forever. Friday, May 15, 2015. This week, Wes skipped work. We loaded up the car for our big adventure. After driving for a whopping 15 minutes. ta da, we were there :) As Kaleb calls it, we were at the 'swimming hotel' otherwise known as The Lodge. It is in fact wonderful and affordable and has an incredibly great pool for kids. What's more to love. Oh, ya- the food is amazing too! Legs bouncing and body wiggling with anticipation. It is pretty cool! Lots of cute baby buffalo!

Assembled by God. Together. Forever. Friday, May 15, 2015. The Beauty of Progress. As I drove to Spearfish this time. I couldn't help but think of how things are so different now. It is amazing how much things have improved this past month. Here are our milestones for month two of our process of melding into complete 'family-ness'. She trusts us enough to sleep all night (for the most part-ish) unless she wants a 3am snack or diaper change. That's fair- I can handle that! She trusts us enough to enjoy le...
