Little update:)

   Sorry to be away for so long we have had a very eventful trip:) We are back for now due to a glitch in the computer system in our boys region. But if you have not been following along on our secret facebook group, we received both referrals for the boys (about a week and a half apart) and have meet and started bonding with both of them. Nehemiah is 10 months old and the biggest little boy I have ever seem. He is so yummy and precious! He has started "talking" and is very smiley and happy. His orphanage is bright and cheerful with caring nannies and director. Jeremiah is a stinker! He is 4 (will be five at the beginning of the year) and is smart as can be. He has fooled his nannies into thinking he is not big or smart enough to accomplish the tasks that they ask him to do:) He is very ticklish and love love loves bubbles. He is going to really enjoy having 5 brothers and sisters. He really lights up in his groupa (like aged children grouped together in the orphanage) He is still not to sure about adults trying to play with him  ie. Joey and I :) To him adults tell him what to do and feed him. His orphanage is very clean and prides itself on order and healthy food. The children are well cared for, but affection and physical touch are not common from our experience. We will be returning on Friday evening and have our court date scheduled for November 26th at 2:30pm!! So excited to finally say we have a date. We will stay for the ten day wait after court and then start the process of getting birth certificates, passports and visas at the US embassy. Please please join us in praying that we will make it home as a family for Christmas! My children in the US would be devastated if we missed it.
   It has been a LONG difficult road for the past few weeks and we are so ready to have our whole family in one country under one roof. God has been good and met our needs as they have come along. Thank you for your support and prayers. After court is done and we are home we will be sharing lots and lots of pictures!!:)
