It's August Already

Wow it has been a while! The family is doing well. Lil Jeff turned 7 right before school was out, and then we started our fun filled summer. We started off with a trip to my sisters in Lakeland, GA, and then to Atlanta, GA to see the Baltich's. We then drove back to my sisters and then home. We had about 1 day to relax until my 4 nephews and brother came to stay with us for 10 days. It was a ton of fun. We had Lil Brett 16, Shane (my brother) 15, Joshie and Saile 13, and Caleb 10. We of course had our 3 little ones as well. That means we had about 8 kids in the house, and that equals lots of messes, lots of activities, and lots of money. Holy cow kids are expensive. They eat sooo much! We went to a Sun BB Game, Beach, Adventure Landing,
D & B's, bowling and off to Spirit of the Suwanee. Yep we took them all camping. They were a little nervous. We ended up having a blast. They were so much fun. I miss them a ton. They left to go back home to Arizona. We will see them soon though. We will be flying to Arizona soon. The place where Jeff was born, and of course the Cardinals.
School will be starting soon. Jeff will be in 2nd grade, Lola in 1st, and Sophie 3 days a week. We signed Lil Jeff up for a Fundamental league for tackle football. He seems to really enjoy it. Lola continues with Cheer and Ballet. Sophie only loves Ballet. We tried the cheer thing and she did not like it. We are a busy family.
We are still continuing our journey to Ryno. It was 2 years in July we have waited. Right now we have no idea when we will get him. The U.S. and Vietnam can't seem to agree. It's frusting at times. We know Ryno is going to be part of our family one day. When we started this journey we prayed so hard about if it was the right thing for our family, and every answer was yes. I have had so many confirmations about Ryno as well as my husband. It's those times you want to throw your hands in the air and say forget it, or we will just switch countries. Thats when we hear that warm voice say "Just be Patient". I feel it now, I feel it when I write on my blog. Sometimes I just go back a read my journals because it is all I have. It's a unbelievable process. I just know when we go to Vietnam and hold him for that 1st time, I will not even think about how long it took. I know that it will happen not on our time line, but God's.
We have been very blessed in our almost 8 years of marriage. We have 3 beautiful children. We would love to have 2 more little tikes running around.
