Our (season's) greeting to you...

Ebbs and Flows...

So, to temper the good news that we get to bring our daughter home, Michael got laid off yesterday. It came as a big out of nowhere punch in the stomach. It turns our that his company laid off 10% of their staff. It would have been nice if they had put some rumors in the wind first, but what can you do?

This has only happened to us once before, and we got through it with a better outcome on the other side. Hopefully, the same will happen here.

Please keep us in your prayers. We pray that Michael will be back to work soon.

Utah or Bust!

So, this Thursday, Michael and I will head to IL to bring our sweet Frankie home for keeps!!! We can't wait - it feels like we're adopting a baby from some foreign land. We can't wait to be together again. We couldn't be more excited! We'll be back on Sunday.

We expect the next month to be a huge period of adjustment for all of us, and anticipate that it will be a tough transition. Please keep us in your prayers - you have no idea how much we need them!

We so value your support, our dear friends and family. We have weathered many tough times, yet there are more to come before the sky does finally clear. Thank you for seeing us through our storm thus far!

Until next time (when our daughter will be home!!!!)...
