A NEW MISSION TO CHINA

THIS MOM USED TO WORK FOR THE AGENCY THAT WE ADOPTED THE GIRLS WITH.

THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY

EM's NEW CAST

EM got a new cast on Monday. Thankfully the bones are both healing! Well enough that the MD put on a new cast that he can get wet...even swim with! It has been a bit of an adjustment...but I think he will like it much better. He has an appointment to get it off Sept. 21st. That will be 8 weeks and one day since he broke it! Hope all goes well. Thankfully it is his left arm and he is right handed, as school starts on the 8th of September.

The kids all got along so well...I could not believe it. We are so blessed to have such an amazing church family! Thanks so much for having us!! Love you guys!
