Quick Update...


Family Updates in a nutshell: Kailey got her braces off and won a digital camera from the orthodontist! She gets fitted for a retainer in a few weeks. Austin made honor roll for 3rd quarter again! Kaitlyn is doing better and we've learned even more about the horrible abuse she endured in China this week. We're pursuing what actions to take against the foster mother and/or the orphanage. It gets really tricky when it's international and the laws are different there. Let's just say, her foster mother would be in prison for a very long time if she did the things she did to Kaitlyn in the United States! It's definitely shed a new perspective on things. Please continue to pray for her healing on the inside, as well as the outside. Pray for my own anger towards this women right now. Part of me wants to hop a plane, track her down, and beat the crap out of her! I know that's not the most Godly attitude to have, but it's how I feel at the moment.

On a much lighter note... my parents are here visiting from Washington for the next couple weeks. It's been great to see them, spend hours talking and just being together. I'm hoping to talk them into buying a winter place down here!! They seem more open to it, they just need a little push :) I will post more pictures later. I just wanted to give a quick update so you didn't think we fell off the face of the earth!

I can't get over how much older Kailey looks from just getting her braces off! She is beeeaaauutiiiful!
It breaks my heart to hear about Kaitlyn's past but we serve an awesome God who can do wonders in her heart and we know HE is not done working in her. We are praying.
We love you guys!
And I'd be happy to help with that extra push!

Kailey looks so grown up. We miss you all.

I know that you will be able to help Kaitlyn overcome her past. She's in good hands now and hopefully, soon the past will be a distant memory for her.

Let me know if your parents want to see some available properties for a winter home. I can send them listings via email.
