The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

Pumpkin Patch




We had a great time at the pumpkin patch on Saturday - we went to Job's nursery... a simple nursery with TONS of pumpkins! Not all of the pumpkin patch thrills of farm animals, hay bale mazes - just pumkins and tons of fun being out doors!
Maylynn had fun tromping around the patch and only ended up tripping once! this is amazing b/c she tends to fall several of times a day where ever she is! Brayden usually keeps track of the times that she falls:)
She is definatley attached! I think we are now going to try to leave her in the church nursery - please pray for us that it is a smooth transition!




I got this picture of Maylynn at the hotel for one of Taylor's tourney in Canada - i love that she loves to read and the sun was shining so bright on her...

Yeah, we skipped the "carnival" pumpkin patches too. Way too much money and hype! We went to Klicker's in Walla Walla with Damon's parents. It's encouraging to see that Maylynn has attached so well; hope it's the same for us. Beautiful family!
