update :)

Sorry for no posts in a long time.  Life has been busier than usual :) But we are all very excited around our home as K & V will be arriving, God willing, on Monday (!) for a summer hosting program!  We were so thankful that K in particular was able to get his visa as he just turned 17 yesterday -- getting to be such a big boy!~
Can't wait to see these two!

The boys will head back to Ukraine on August 30 as this is not part of the adoption, but is a pure hosting situation: nonetheless it is a great joy and delight to be together :)  
Paperwork for the adoption continues on, slow but steady. We hope our dossier will be done this summer. 
In preparation for summer we have gotten a much larger vehicle (15 passenger--ouch), ask me in person, but I used to vow I would never buy a vehicle this large! ("and it's crazy things that love will make you do...") and are trying to frantically finish up the boys new room. (yes, nesting happens even when you are expecting teens and tweens!) 
I've also accepted the medical directorship of a PCMH clinic which is fair commute away, and I and my staff are working like crazy to get everything ready for a AAAHC re-accreditation coming up. Whew!
Daniel has been under a lot rapid-fire deadlines and product issues all over the world. I am so grateful for his cheerful heart, his diligence and his calm personality even under so much pressure. He can come home after a crazy day in the office and start playing with the boys, and help me with dinner, adoption paperwork, and lend a supportive ear to my ravings about office re-credentialing stress, and then finish up coaching J through all his physical therapy excersizes. :) He is the best, you guys.
That's the update for now :) 
Must run.  Our hearts are full of expectant joy and longing waiting for our precious boys. We do truly do appreciate your prayers for wisdom and grace this summer as we love and parent all 7 boys.
