A quick update

It has been a while since we've updated the blog!  So much is going on and we are getting closer and closer to meeting our sweet boy!

Paperwork is almost done...we are now just waiting to be approved by US Customs and Immigration. It is so hard to wait on others once our portion is complete!  Please pray for patience for us, but also for our case to be assigned an officer soon so that we can get the approval quickly and be officially submitted in Toby's country.  If all goes well, it still looks like we could be traveling in December.

We are beginning to prepare not only for Toby's arrival in our family, but for our trip.  We are going as a family, so planning for winter gear (but limited luggage) for five of us is a challenge!  Our plan is for Kameron to stay with the boys in country after the court date while Josh returns home to work. Still working out the other details...but we covet your prayers for wisdom and safety as we plan what to do.

God has provided in more amazing ways as we continue to see our adoption fund increase!  We are so grateful for all of those who have given so generously! We've also be awarded a grant from the Ephesians 3:20 Foundation, which will help enormously.  We are waiting on other grants to possibly come through, too...some may be matching grants, so stay tuned for updates on those!  We are just humbled and amazed by what has been provided so far.

Our sweet Toby is waiting...we were able to send a little gift along with another adoptive family...and seeing the pictures of him holding those things just thrilled our hearts.  He cannot know yet that he has a family coming, but at least he knows someone loves him while he waits!  We ache to have him with us...to hold him and love him and have him play with the boys and listen to Bible stories and just feel what it is like to be part of a family!

So...keep praying!  Keep spreading the word about Toby and about the children who are still waiting for a family to find them!  And if you feel led to donate to our fund, you can do it through our Reece's Rainbow Sponsor Page.  Bless you!
