Isn't this cute?

Posted in The Adoption Journey for Our Future Grandchildren

My daughter said that their caseworker got in touch with them and let them know that Ronald, the 9 year old, and the one they had been the most worried about having trouble with the transition to a new home, had told her something pretty cool. She wanted Chelle to know about it.

Ronald said that "June 17th (the day they are to come permanently) is going to be the most awesome day of my whole life!" Isn't that neat??? We are all ecstatic to hear that coming directly from him!

As for Thomas, I think he isn't used to such a boisterous family. He told Chelle that her family was "Crazy, man. Just plain CRAZY!!!" But I could tell he loved every minute of the craziness!

My little granddaughter is adjusting well to the idea of having cousins the same age and older, too. We were worried this would be a problem, but she really liked the boys, and had a great time with them.

Looks like we are on the way to one big, happy family! The only thing that comes even close to being a Mommy is being a Granny!

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
