Summer 2011...so far.

I am horrible at taking pictures...as most of you know. I have taken exactly 0 pictures of our family this Summer. A sad state, I know. So here is a less entertaining version of our Summer:

Visits: My Shannon came for a visit in June. We had a great time just enjoying being together and sharing the struggles as we enter sort of a new phase of child rearing.

Rachel came in July and we had a blast! Her presence always brightens up our entire family...Thanks, Eeeooch.

Adoption: We have completed everything we need (so far) for our adoption and everything is going through preliminary legal proceedings before it can go into IBESR (Haitian social services.) This monopolizes a great deal of prayer, emotions, finances, and time...so plan to continue hearing about it on a regular basis.

Camps: Cameron and Tony are headed to Boy Scout camp for the first time this year. We are going to miss them, but they are both excited to get outside, let loose, and just be "boys" for a week. I have to say, I'm a bit jealous. Aubrey will go to jump rope camp in August. Yes, there is such a thing (not really any jealousy about this one.)

Haiti: Tony, Aub, and I are headed to Haiti once again this August. We have a great team going with us. It's alot of work getting ready to go, especially last minute preparations. We can hardly wait to see all of the sweet kids again, and encourage them to faithfully seek after their Creator.

That's a quick update...there will be plenty of pics next time.
