More for the House: March 2013
http://moreforthehouse.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
More for the House. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Our report has come back from Peru! As expected, they identified some areas that they'd like some more information on. It's very common for an adoption "board" to 'nit-pick' at a family's dossier and make them provide more information on various subjects. It's as if they're saying- "How bad do you want this? The awesome blessing in this is that most families have 10 or more observations requiring attention but we only have 2! To God be the Glory!

More for the House. Thursday, December 19, 2013. UPDATE- Moving mountains (Day 31). Please forgive the lack of posts yesterday and today (Saturday), long story short- God moved the proverbial mountain(s) yet again and as I type, we're home in the US! It's been a whirl-wind 36 hours and this on about 3 hours sleep. We'll compose an exciting post tomorrow (Sunday). Appreciate your prayers and support. The phone call that changed it all. I rest my case. Mountains moved. That is all. Trying to Trust (Day 29).

http://moreforthehouse.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-heart-of-matter-day-28.html
More for the House. Monday, December 16, 2013. The Heart of the Matter (Day 28). Do you ever get distracted with the 'good things' in life that aren't the 'best things'? Here's part of the song-. I'm coming back to the heart of worship. And it's all about You. It's all about You, Jesus. I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it. When it's all about You. It's all about You, Jesus. So what all has changed since our last post? Our heart and perspective.hopefully. Please keep us in your prayers.

More for the House: August 2012
http://moreforthehouse.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
More for the House. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Wow What a difference a day makes. Today Sherwin-Williams donated 9 gallons of paint (more than we need), a local waste management company committed to donate a dumpster, and we calculated a total of 702 sponsorship letters sent. Another praise (unrelated to this project specifically but it relates to the adoption) is we were notified this evening that our family was awarded a $2,000 grant from Bridge of Hope Ministries! How can you pray now? 10 That we'll sh...

More for the House: When God doesn't answer (Day 25)
http://moreforthehouse.blogspot.com/2013/12/when-god-doesnt-answer-day-25.html
More for the House. Friday, December 13, 2013. When God doesnt answer (Day 25). Yesterday we asked all of our family and friends via social to join us in prayer that E's ID would be generated by the DNI office today. As a result we were most certainly overwhelmed by everyone's prayers and thoughtful words of support last night and today, however as it would turn out- we did not get E's ID. More on that later. Short answer- I don't know. Please allow me a brief moment to elaborate. Spiritually Bi-polar (D...

More for the House. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Funds raised.now what? By God's grace and through much help from family and friends- our "36 Hour Drive to Peru" drive last weekend was a huge success.

More for the House. Sunday, December 22, 2013. Please accept our apologies for not writing in a few days. If we're friends on Facebook, you're probably aware that the last 48 hours have been a bit of a whirlwind. Here's what God did-. Oh, not to mention we got the last 5 seats on the plane. It was both humbling and joyous to see E's reaction as we entered the house and saw the Christmas tree, and then as she saw her room. She had seen her room before via skype but now she was HERE. Please forgive the lac...

http://moreforthehouse.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
More for the House. Monday, February 11, 2013. HUGE thanks to the many people that took the challenge issued for our little girl's birthday last week. To date, that we're aware of (we're only able to get reports on specific days from Lifesong), we're at (drum roll please.) $701! That puts us that much closer to our goal! Alternatively, the following link. Hopefully, we'll be able to announce some news soon about the status of our approval process in Peru. We're (trying to) wait patiently. Here's a questi...

More for the House. Saturday, November 30, 2013. Bonding through laughter (Day 12). A HUGE reminder of how "He's got this." came tonight when we were putting the kids to bed. Well, Levi had already fallen asleep while we were watching a movie (although, he just said he was going to rest his eyes.you parents know how that goes). Before I continue, in yesterday's post. We mentioned how well the bonding process is moving along, for which we're humbly grateful! Friday, November 29, 2013. We are so incredibly...
