Update 7/5/2006

Well, not much going on in our "wait" but felt like I should update the site for those that check regularly.

We just received our 2nd "Waiting Phase" package from AWAA. It has alot of information on our travel plans and everything that goes into that. It also has all the breakdown of the costs of this phase . . .WOW! Please pray that when our travel time comes airfares are at an all-time low :)

Not much else going on at this point on our end, the Blummers from our church, will be returning from China with their new little girl (Betsie) this coming Friday. We will probably go to the airport to welcome them home, its very exciting to share with these families as they come home knowing that we will be doing the same thing very soon.

Please continue to pray for us through this "wait" and that God will continue to supply financially and emotionally to us. We should be hearing from Shoahannah's Hope this month on whether we will be approved to receive a grant from their organization.

Please also pray that a couple of real estate deals that I am working on will close. One of them, if it gets done, will hopefully pay a large portion to our 2nd half expenses of our adoption.

Thank you all for your interest, time, and prayers you have put into our families journey.

Chuck,Shelley, Kylie, Zachary and Brodie
