Close to a Court Date!

Our apologies for not updating sooner. We were traveling a lot during the holidays and we are finally getting back in the swing of things. We want to update you all on the process. Most recently, we have just submitted an affidavit with our agency which will be sent with our Dossier to Uganda. This is the last step (I think) before we get our court date. The court date will determine when we travel to Uganda. All signs seem to be pointing toward a travel date in MARCH!! Like many things, this isn't set in stone so we will wait for the official word.

Over Christmas, we were blessed to receive a grant from Show Hope--what a wonderful organization and what a tremendous Christmas present!

When we travel to Uganda, Mary and I will both have to be gone from Jonah, Seth, and Abram for about 10 days. I (Jamey) will have to remain in Uganda for up to six weeks. Please pray for us as we make preparations for our children to be cared for and for all of our responsibilities to be covered while we are away.

One of the most special gifts we received this Christmas was this nativity set from some dear friends of ours here in town. It's cool because it was made in Uganda. It's funny how we feel connected to that country even though we have never been there.
Also, during the holidays we couldn't help but think of our little Gideon who is already such a part of our family but was not with us as we celebrated Christmas together. We long for him to be with us ASAP! We need one more face in our family photos, don't you think?!?
