Stuckeys orchard

Today we had a great day at Stuckey's Orchard. We picked pumpkins, took a wagon ride, picked apples, and did a corn maze with knights and dragons :) A great Goins Day!



On adoption: Our home study is almost finished. We are excited to end this part of the "paper pregnancy".

Home Study

Greetings all!

We had our homestudy yesterday. This was an almost 5 hour visit with a social worker.
She interviewed Diane and I together, as well as, separately. She also interviewed the kids. Ethan showed her his karate moves along with sound effects. Di and I think things went well.

The kids greeted her at the door and shook her hand and said "hello"! She said in all her years as a social worker she had never been greeted that way before.

The kids had their physicals this week and TB shots in case they go to Ukraine with us.

Hope all is well with your family!

We are so thankful for so many families who donated goods to help us raise over $4,000 towards adoption. We are so grateful and humbled by these wonderful gifts.

Help us Adopt and save Gas...

We had a Motorcycle graciously donated to us. Do you know someone who wants to buy it?

In the Midst...

The days are busy.... We have completed one part of the homestudy and we have a longer, more intense day coming up soon where the social worker will interview Diane and me, and the kids.
I am teaching on 'orphans' this week at ZF and introducing the newly formed 'orphan ministry'.

This is our last weekend of soccer. We have had a great time but glad it is over. The kids have improved so much in the knowledge and ability to play well. Karis has scored 27 goals in 6 games (not that I am counting :)~ )

Homeschooling is going well. The Master's Study school our kids go to on Monday's is going well but it is a lot of work especially for Ethan, but the kids are truly excited about going to school.

On another front: If Sara Groves or Charlie Peacock are near you we strongly encourage you to support their tour and their ministry. Check out Sara's page:http://www.myspace.com/artmusicjustice
