NEW UPDATE JUNE 5TH, 2009!

Hello to everyone who is tracking our journey. God is so good! We are so happy to have been here to experience all of the things Asha is doing that we would have missed otherwise. Like over the last while we have seen Asha take her first step! And other things she does like if we say close the eyes, she closes her eyes to sleep, if we say the word CALL, she puts her hand to her ear for the phone, she pretends to cough and laughs at us, she screams in delight when Desiree's giggles loud at her in fun, she kisses Desiree a dozen times a day, Desiree said the alphabet one by one like A A A, and Asha said, A, then B B B, and aAsha said Buh! She did the entire alphabet and Asha almost did every single one, she only missed a few.

It is just worth it, not matter how homesick (and you can still call us at 784-433-5950) we are or how much we want to get Asha home into her own place and start our lives at home. But things are moving along nicely on St. Vincent's side of things, and we just need prayer that once it does go through and everything is sent off to immigration Canada, that things go quick and seamless. So please pray for that, and we will feel it over here.

We love and cherish all of you. God Bless!
