Pictures to Post


I would like to thank Julie Manfred for taking some pictures when she went to HIS Home for Children this Spring.  She raises money to buy formula and takes it to the orphanage.   She always takes some pictures for us and we will share them with you.  
 
 

The first picture is of CJ in his school and he is actually studying English.  He knew his colors the last visit we made.  He told me that he did not speak English when I asked him this in English.  That made me smile.
 
 

The next picture is at the orphanage with the toddlers where Davidson spends most of his time.

 
CJ showing his beautiful smile. 

 
This is Julie Manfred and this is the eating area.  Davidson is in the back in blue.  That is their latrine in that open door in the back.

 
The man is Hal Nungester and this is Sunday morning service.

 
Not only does he have a beautiful smile but John 1:1 is behind him which means he is learning God's word.

 
Davidson at the toddler sleeping area.

 
This is a good picture of Julie and the toddler room.  Davidson center.

 
Now how about that smile.  Davidson you a ham.

 
I can't wait to get him here so we can play ball.

 
The next two pictures are their yearly pictures for the sponsorship page.  They are getting so old.  Our hearts ache for them to be here with us


 
We love these boys and can't wait to bring them home to their forever home.

We love updates

Another Father's Day has passed.  After each holiday we tell ourselves that we will have CJ and Davidson the next time we celebrate it, and the time just keeps passing on.   We still do things as a family and have fun, but we always say we wish our boys were here.  We recently celebrated Memorial Day by camping and floating the Buffalo River in canoes.   We had a blast.  Here are some photo highlights.




 
 
 
Camping is the best and yes that is me napping in the second hammock under Darby.
 
As far as updates are concerned we did here from our lawyer in Haiti at the beginning of June.  We have not heard back from her and that is the way it is with updates, few and very infrequent.  We are almost out of the courts and they will have their adoption decrees with our last name.  Can't wait to see that paper.   Then we go into MOI and then into the US Embassy.   We are hoping that we can get them home before Christmas time.   We can hope can't we.   Lots of prayer.  Here is our email.


Dear Mr. Miskelly,
All the documents have been signed for both children and we already started the legalization process. I believe that in a couple of weeks the dossiers will be finalized including Davidson's dossier.
I will give you an update in a week.

Best regards

This summer is three years into this process.   CJ turned 8 in May and Davidson will be 6 in August.  It is hard to believe that we have known them since they were 5 and 3 back in 2012 and they are still not here with us.   We continue to pray daily.  I'll try to put their latest pictures on the next post.
