Happy Birthday/Grattis Andreas Kjernald

Today (or I guess yesterday technically) it was Andreas' 36th birthday. So Happy Birthday baby! I am thankful for this wonderful man and love to celebrate this day with him. May you have many more to come. He just gets better looking every year.... I am a blessed woman.

Today we relaxed (despite the work he did) and had the Weaver family home for a steak dinner. It is good to have friends to spend special and regular days with. For those friends who weren't here we miss you and hope to celebrate other days with you.

Below, Andreas and Sam are relaxing in one of Andreas' birthday gifts. We'll see how long this one lasts until Sam twirls himself out of it.


There is a little movement on the adoption front. First of all we have friends who are in Albania picking up their precious little boy. Congrats to the Waggoners and please pray for the rest of there time in Albania. (you can go the the links on the side of my blog to see their story). We also have some friends that just found out their case passed through court in Ethiopia and they are now the proud parents of two boys (that is on top of their precious twins they adopted a few years ago). Congrats Kinnells, please continue to pray for them as they try to get a date to pick them up.

For us, we have now officially been accepted in the Taiwan program and our paperwork should be sent to Taiwan soon. We will see what awaits us next. Sam told me today that he thinks we have been waiting too long. I couldn't agree more son! Learning to trust in Jesus more and rely on him to lead us in this path. Still hurting a bit from the Nepal shut down, but realizing how much I need the Lord and that it is all for his glory and not my own desires. Please continue to pray for us in this long process.

Blessings to all,
laurie
