Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

SOME NEW PICS AND AN UPDATE...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to check in with some new pictures and info for everyone. We wanted to again say how blessed we are to everyone who has prayed for us and thought of us on our journey.

Things are going well, and we are more comfortable, happy, well fed and so unbelievably blessed than we could have ever imagined. Our little girl makes us laugh from the moment we wake up to the last twenty minutes of her day when she rolls around the bed like a mad woman as she tries to get comfortable and fight the urge to sleep so she doesn't miss anything.

We have fully bonded now, she calls me Dada, but she calls her Mam Desiree. Yes, Desiree. For some reason she doesn't say mama, but we are still working on it.

As of today it is two weeks until the final court proceedings take place that we have to partake in. After that it's just a little bit until the new passports and documents are complete for us to come home. We ask for everyone's prayers that things continue to run smoothly and we can get home fast. Please alos pray for the ottley family, as they are the most amazing and caring and giving people we have ever met. Truly angels. Enjoy the pictures and we miss you all, and look forward to talking with you soon.

By the way... we are getting homesick now and would love anyone who wants to call us for a quick chat. You can call us at 784-433-5950, and remember we are two hours ahead of you in Saskatchewan. It should be .25 a minute charge for you, and you dial it like you would any other Long Distance call to canada or the states.

Love you all.
