a quick update....

Just wanted to keep our supporters in the loop, we haven't completely dropped off the face of the earth!!
We have been busy with LIFE and all it brings us.
Jaden's birthday was FABULOUS, all his little friends had a great time, including little mister himself. Yes, pics are still coming. :-)
Jaden's 1st baseball game was saturday, and we are staying BUSY with that!!

As far as the adoption "stuff", we are waiting......sigh. We have medical appts this week for Jaden and I, and we thought we would be DONE with homestudy paperwork after that. not so much. One of the requirements is that we have a CPS background check for every state and country we have lived in for greater than 3 weeks. Yeah, Kevin was in the military and deployed ALOT. all those countries count. Turns out that Tunesia is the only country that keeps record of such, so really we skated by pretty well with this. But, for the last month and a half we have been playing phone/email tag with the embassy to see if we needed this form. turns out we do, and we just sent it off a week ago, and it takes 2-3 weeks. so, more waiting. Was hoping we would have ALL paperwork in by June 1st, but that's looking very unlikely. So, we are trying to be patient and obedient. YES, LORD, we are still following your call!!! We are NOT giving up!!!

It is hard to be patient though, most of the time. Babies are being born all around us, and it's difficult to wait for OUR precious baby. I know it will be SO worth the wait, but it's still hard. :) Thank you for all your continued prayers. More updates to come.....
