Quality Time With Daddy

Fil finally found another football fan in our family. The boys are more Nascar fans than football but as you can see Emma sat down with daddy and enjoyed some football on Sunday afternoon. I am sorry to say I have no interest whatsoever in this sport since I grew up outside of the USA. I do like to tease my brother in law about the Broncos and I will always cheer for the team that is playing against them. Fil is a Denver Broncos fan as well but he doesn't care about my comments. Here is Fil and Emma checking the fantasy football stats online. We shall see how long Emma will show interest.
Here is a desert I made yesterday for our Bible study group. It turned out good. Ginger, butternut squash squares with white chocolate frosting. Doesn't it sound good (it is gone now).
On another note there is no new news on our adoption. We are still waiting. It has been over two months since there have been any referrals with AWAA (our agency). I guess I just want to see things to start moving again for someone. We are also not sure if the court is open yet. I thought it would be closed until the middle of October but I read on other blogs that it might already be open. Each week we think that things will start moving and by the time Thursday rolls around we know that nothing is going to happen. I am sure it will happen but sometime I feel it never will happen. Just like the end of a pregnancy. You think the baby will never come out (and yes they do). Since Fil's mom will be flying in to watch our kids we would like to know sooner then later. She decided to come in November anyway and we are so happy that she is. The kids do miss grandma and we can't wait forever. Believe me I have a plan A and plan B and even plan C for our travel time. But somehow deep down I know there is a different plan "G" with God written all over it. I know this is what will happen. Not in my timing but His and I am glad for that.

Also I wanted to write a little about the Guatemalan adoption situation I posted last week. We received another e.mail last week from our friends who are waiting on their referral since January. They have been on top of the list all summer waiting to make their first trip anytime. I haven't talked to them yet to see how they are doing. I cannot imagine what how disappointed they must be. I will keep you posted as soon as I know anything.
