If you hadn't guessed yet, we've had a little delay in the adoption. However, the scripture that came to mind is "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day." Quoted from memory which may be a bit fuzzy. Bottom line, we committed to Him to be obedient in this adoption. Despite many delays, we are not released from it and will continue to believe He is caring for Hannah, protecting her from anything that would be a potential problem in such a long wait. We're going to see this through. We're closer today than ever and the calendar ticking by doesn't change anything.
That being said, we (the 3 kids and I) took off to Branson Friday am to be with our friends, the Storments, go to church, Silver Dollar City, be at a birthday party and relax. It was a great trip with fun for everyone. Amazingly, traveling with 3 on my own is not a problem. I think it helps a bunch that we stayed with a family who has children our kids' ages and that we traveled this time in the morning. Everyone was ready to go, no passing of naps and bedtimes as can happen. Buddy got to sleep in, read as much as he wanted AND got the girls' room painted Ballerina Gown pink. I wish I knew how to post videos from my camera because Catherine noticed the smell of paint right away and then was thrilled with her beautiful new wall color. After a few touch ups tomorrow, we should have everything back in place.
The boys and the girls spent the weekend very differently...
After having a very rough time on the frog ride, Caleb enjoyed having a friendly arm around him on the lady bugs.
Samuel thought Buddy's hair got really long while we were gone, Buddy thought Caleb grew, and we were all happy to be together once again.

I will send you my phone number so we can try to meet up the next time you come this way again!
Oooh, let's see the Ballerina Gown pink room!
Praying for you as always, and your family. Knowing God has a plan and that He will never fail you or Hannah.
Love you, Delahne.
I second what Charissa said.
I just want to tell you that your little angel is so worth the wait. She was the happiest, most joyful little thing we saw in Georgia.
God is looking out for her. She is in a wonderful loving foster home. All of the children there were very happy.
I put all of you on our prayer list at our church. I know you will be traveling soon.
Hugs,
Martha
