Leo and Simon hung lights this past weekend and did a beautiful job. Simon took some artistic photos I just discovered on our camera.
We crafted the entire weekend and on into the week. The dining room table is still in a bit of a daunting mess, but things are getting done, packages sent, cards made with only a little bit left to do. Lydia often wanders off and comes back with her own creations.
Last week was freezing here in Oregon, literally. The kids took this after Simon skated on the pond and cut a chunk out to photograph. Amid the news that this adoption is taking sooooo long we now have to go through the time and expense of the fingerprinting process for Meggie, who is turning 18 in January, our pipes froze. Fortunately Leo discovered it right away and we had him out there with a blow dryer to the pipes!
And so our adoption saga continue on. We just have to believe God's plan is bigger and better than our plan. We had hoped to be there and back by Christmas, but we still don't have an approval letter from China. I have gently been nudging our representative these last three weeks and yesterday received word that our dossier has been sitting in China. Unbeknownst to our agency they had to put in a number to process it but apparently don't have the number??? Sound completely confusing and unconventional? And now a bit of a set back as we hustle to get Meg's fingerprints approved.
That is where we are. Frustration and a dash of disgust is the reason I have not been updating the blog. But I'm better now as we move toward Christmas. Everyone is healthy and God is faithful!
