Good News

















We have had lots of good news lately. Both Caleb and Katie's soccer teams won their league tournaments. It made for a wild day of soccer. Caleb's team finished in third place in the football league but they lost their "bowl" game. Caleb scored his first touchdown in the bowl game though. We went to Huber's with friends and didn't buy a pumpkin (we accidentally left it in the patch). But the best news of all so far has to be that we think that we were able to get Coy an Indiana birth certificate without having to readopt him in Indiana. This is super news. Friends of ours that adopted from Ukraine contacted us and told us that they were able to get an Indiana birth certificate for their son without adopting him in Indiana so we though we would try it. Stacey made several calls and even took our paperwork down to our county Clerks office but they would not do it for us. I called the State again and they said any county would work so Coy and I went to the next county, the same county where our friends live, and they filled out the paperwork for us. Now, if one comes in the mail, we will be stoked.

Imagine That

As much as I wanted to post a picture of our kids, I had to share this video. Our kids have enjoyed watching this this week. There is another one of a home school family that makes us laugh too. If you go to God Tube and search this comedian (Tim Hawkins) there is a clip where he suggests Corporate Takeover of Christian worship songs. That clip is pretty funny too.

God has a unique way or revealing himself to us at different times and I kind of felt like he revealed himself to me/us tonight. There are two boys on Katie's soccer team that missed the last practice and game because they were late. They showed up early to tonights practice and they hung around afterwards. They have two younger sisters that are obviously adopted from either China or someother Asian country and in the conversation about them I learned that the two boys on the soccer team are also adopted, from Ukraine. Of course, the conversation quickly went to from where in Ukraine and it turns out that one of the boys came from exactly the same orphanage as Coy. What are the chances?? Ukraine is a big county. God is funny, but he is real too.
