Let me dream of a beautiful rainbow family...of big, brown eyes with bouncing curls...of smiling blue eyes and golden hair...of sleepy eyes and raven tresses...
Born worlds apart,
yet altogether in mama and daddy's heart. Lord, please fill our home with smiling faces of little people from different places.

Update on our girls

Many of you have asked for an update and I forgot to update on the adoption status of our little girls yesterday when I posted. Probably because there is nothing to update! Really not much has happened. There is another court date on October 9, but from what I understand it is just part of the process and we won't really learn much from it. I, too, have been asked if we live in worry. We really don't. (Do men ever worry??? ;)  Yes, they do. Marv doesn't show it much, but a few comments he has made, makes me know that it "hits" him at times, too. He adores our newest little girls (and of course the other "littles", too). Some hours of some days fear and worry will hit me like a rock and in my mind's eye we are saying goodbye to the girls for the last time. Tears stream, panic sweeps, and awful darkness descends. It is terrible. In those hours I have desperately called on Jesus. When I call, again and again He faithfully replaces the mountain of fear with an ocean of restful peace. As I write this, again it threatens to sweep, but with the Lord's help you  j u s t    c a n 't   g o   "t h e r e". And thankfully just keeping up with this little quartet keeps my mind SO full that most of the time I don't have time to go "there".
