From Colt

I know that it will be fun playing basketball games. Y'all should come see some of my games. I will enjoy seeing you.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Colossians 3:23

Friday Night

Wow. I hope updating our blog isn't addicting. Joel and Colt went to the Miles v. Cristoval football game tonight to watch the sons of several friends and co-workers play tonight. Abigail and I stayed home out of the cold.

We have kept Colt out of organized sports up until now. But we have signed him up for the Christian Upwards basketball league. He has a great aptitude for sports of all kinds. We go to orientation for this in the morning. Colt is so excited.

He will also start a piano class in a week or two. Colt's teacher uses a peer environment, teaches theory, and encourages original composition and arrangement.

Abigail is doing great. She's sleeping well between nighttime feedings, eats well, is gaining weight, and is very healthy. She's such fun!

Have a super weekend yourself. More to come.



Oh, my! Brother likes to help dress Sister!

Aaaahhhhh



Photos From Our 2006 Mission Trip to Ghana





This is where we are hoping to go for long-term missions. We are still in the application process. There is a physician position available at the hospital there.

We are also still in "line" for adoption of a baby girl from China. Our adoption agent came from Buckner in Dallas recently to update our home study now that we've had Abigail. We could possibly get her in a year. We continue to wait on the Lord and His timing with His plans in our lives.

Colt & Abigail


We'll be posting more photos as time passes. Some of you may end up on here, as well! Come back soon for more.

Our own blog!

Abigail Hope was born on September 11! She's over six weeks old now and we can't believe it! We're all three having such fun with her!

Joel and I had talked about setting up a blog when either adoption from China or long-term mission work in Ghana become a reality. We finally decided to go ahead and set one up now so you can see and read about the fun we're having with Abigail. She's such a blessing to us.

Our Besafeonline internet content filter is blocking me from going to blogs so I'm using Joel's laptop tonight to get this started. His laptop has no recent photos so I'll have to get things worked out with the filter to be able to put photos up.

Colt is doing great. Loves Abigail, doing great with homeschooling. He's in first grade. Time passes so quickly.

Signing off to go to bed soon. Abigail's asleep and I will be soon, too!
