oh, life.

this was supposed to be our last picture as a family of 7.  i fully anticipated the next
time that we took a picture, our two boys would be filling in those gaps.  as i prepare
to fly across the ocean very soon, it appears that the proper officials will not be 
available to hear our adoption case as scheduled.  after much prayer, we have decided that i 
will still go for a visit & to get some paperwork done that can only be done in-country anyway.  
at the least, it is a visit with our boys--who are counting down the days until mom returns.
at the very most, God has a miracle in store for us for His glory.
[cue: tears & excitement & so much hope.]

    I am going to pray for a miracle. Pray that while you are there something amazing happens and you can bring the boys home. I pray often that they can be in your home with their family. Love, Becky

    Your family is precious...not sure that I've seen a picture of all of you before.

    I'm sure you must be disappointed about not bringing your boys home, but hope you enjoy your visit.

    I want to say something about miracles but truthfully, I want to stomp my feet and scream and throw an epic temper tantrum complete with fist pounding on the floor because I want you to be on a plane with these boys soon, so soon, with no more obstacles between them and home. I know all things happen in the right time, but I want that time to be now, for you.
