It's A Miracle!

 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying for our adoption. God has provided a miracle, and this past weekend, we received the government's full approval to bring our son home! We still have a long way to go with paperwork and procedures, but we are moving forward again. GLORY TO GOD!!!!

Finishing Up March...

 Fun with Shiloh!

Malia, Trinity, and I painted small canvases one night when we got together for Bible study:

We had lots of people here for grandma's funeral!

The boys had their basketball awards. Jalen got the Coach's Award and Defensive Player of the Year.

Goodbye, But Not Forever...

 My sweet Grandma Jo went Home to be with Jesus on March 17. See you later, Grandma! Love you!

Happy Birthday!!!

 A very happy birthday to our son in Haiti, who is 6 years old today. Praying we can celebrate his next birthday with him! 🙏🏼

Basketball, Birthday, and Bon Voyage!

The Panthers finished an amazing basketball season last night. They were GMC champions, sectional champions, and district runners-up. They dominated Genoa for the first 3 quarters last night, then lost by 5 at the end of the game. Way to challenge an undefeated team, boys! Here are some pictures from the final few games:

Jordan was named Player of the Game by 3 different media outlets in the sectional final game. Not bad for a guy who just started playing for the first time this season a few weeks ago after surgery!

We celebrated Shana's birthday with 2 different parties:

Chris and I took Malia to Chicago so she could head to Europe for 2 weeks to visit Elli, who is studying abroad this semester. After a cancelled flight, an overnight with us near the airport, a wonderful breakfast, and a fun shopping trip, we tried again and dropped her off at the airport the next day. She's having a blast, has visited Luxembourg, England, France, Belgium, and Portugal, and will head home in a few days. It will be good to have her home again! 

The football team helped take down the Christmas lights around town:
