Wow, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas really flew by this year! Since I sent out blog address to everyone on our Christmas cards I figured I should at least put a quick update out here while we recover from the great holiday festivities.
We received an invoice for our first substantial payment that is due before we can start our home study - I guess that means that our application was accepted :-)
It is exciting to think that by Christmas next year we may have more little monkeys running around here. Jacob is thrilled and very ready for some "brothers and sisters".
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
Our Family's Verse for Today - Psalms 46:10

It's Official!
After years of praying, months of research and days of paperwork we mailed off our formal adoption application today! We are so excited to finally get this process underway.
For those of you we have not talked to or those we haven't talked to in a while here is the scoop - we are pursuing an adoption of up to two children (younger than Jacob) from Liberia. Yep, sounds a little crazy I know but you just have to follow God's calling and trust him to provide. We are going to have a front row seat to see some God size things happening in our family this next year.
Well I have so much more to share but it's time to go to bed and I really wanted to get this first post done. Hey, my first blog post - cool!
