July Update & Taitung Field Trip




Wow! July's Update included lots of photos of a trip to Taitung. Taitung is a resort town on the east coast of Taiwan. The kids got to ride horses, swim in the pool, play at the park, and eat a wide assortment of seafood. How cool is that meal served in a ship?!

We got the call to travel today. We can leave as early as September 16. What??? I wasn't expecting to travel until mid to late October! I'm experiencing a sudden sense of panic! What about that office I'm trying to organize, the living room in need of paint, and the home school plans I need to put into action? I guess it all doesn't really matter. The fact is, my son is ready to come home!

I called Chris to give him the good travel news. Now guess who is in a panic? People always become indispensable when they're going to leave work for two weeks! Now I have to see how flexible the Taiwan courts can be with our appointments. Chris and his employer have decided that the first week of October will work better.

Thank goodness I have a God who cares and knows all the little details. We'll just pray about it and see what happens.

Madison Gets to Ride!

Madison took one month of horseback riding lessons. Here she is with Rupert. This was a dream come true for her. We're hoping to sign her up for more lessons after the adoption is completed.
