Memorial Day with the Humphries

It was strange to have Memorial Day without an invite to the famous Willhite weekend celebration! However, our former neighbors from Capitol Hill had us out to their 40 acre home in West Virginia. They actually own a home in Capitol Hill for the week - and then go home to WV on the weekends! WV is beautiful...and it strangely felt like the Ozarks and NorthWest Arkansas! They commute from here in the summer....a 2 hour drive one way! Craziness!

Tea Party

After school one day we had a tea party under the Kitchen Table! I don't fit as good as the girls do! I felt like the hunchback afterwards!

Cinderella's

Kylee spent a day with us while her mom and dad went to the USCIS to be fingerprinted for their next adoption (Korea!!!). Mia and Kylee were so cute dressed up as princesses! Sweet!

Gotcha Day Reunion

May 9 we celebrated 2 years since Mia was put into our arms for the 1st time. We were able to go the reunion this year....4 families from our travel group got together for a weekend. We were not able to attend last year - so this was really special for us!

These 4 girls were all born in the same city within one week of each other...and spent the first 8 months of their lives in the same row of cribs in Yangxi China. (There are 3 other girls from this Yangxi group that were not able to make the trip).

May Update

Whew! May 18! Where does the time go?

I posted a few details last month about our trip across the country, speaking in churches, meetings in Springfield...

So the scoop is....

We are officially pursuing becoming Full Time Appointed Missionaries with the Assemblies of God!

And we are excited!

That in and of itself is a miracle. You are talking to the girl who once said, "Lord, please do not call me to the mission field". And I am married to the guy who used to say, "I don't want to be a missionary. I don't want to have to depend on others to sustain our family financially."

Wow what God can do when he takes you to Washington DC for a year - and through a valley of "preparation". He has been working on us all year - teaching us how to REALLY trust Him.

I will try... :) to post more details this week. For now - just be praying for us...that God will direct every step of this journey...as He has already been doing in our lives this whole year.

Much love.

Macy and her new best bud. Sam Godzwa. Both of our families have been in the same small group this last semester. Funny thing is - me and his mom graduated from CBC the SAME year and didn't even really know each other! His parents are Chi Alpha Missionaries. So the PK and the MK are great friends!

This is all of the kids from our small group Bible Study! How awesome to be a part of a group this is KID FRIENDLY! Woo! And kudos to the babysitters Rachel and Henry that came every week so that us parents could connect!

Our small group ended the semester with an Easter party for the kids! Macy was SPRINTING around to fill up her basket! So funny!

Mia and Kylee on Easter Sunday!
