July 4th


Oh I almost forgot. When we were flying into LA at 11:00 we saw fireworks all over the place. It was really cool to see from the air. And one more thing, I have a full beard now. We both look homeless.

Jay, you've always looked homeless, man.....

Guys, I am SO EXCITED for you!! I don't know where you are or what time it is now, but hopefully you have reached little Madeline. You guys are awesome, and I can't wait to meet her. She is lucky and blessed that y'all are bringing her into your home and family. God bless the three of you and have a safe trip back!!!

Jay and Shannon,
Just wanted to let you know that we have been praying for y'all continuously.I know it seems like you will never make it to get your sweet baby...so many roadblocks. Just know that your long journey is almost over and soon you will be holding the precious baby that God directed you both to. I miss y'all and definetly don't like knowing that I can't talk to "my Shami". I know that Madeline has no idea how blessed she is just yet. Cherish your time with her there and we can't wait to see pictures of your gotcha day.

"Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He will stregthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:14

We love you,
Jill, Craig, and the girls

Praise the Lord. We think we have figured this out. It was great to hear from you while you were at the airport!It sure does help to be able to communicate in some way. The kids are doing very well. They all had fun at A. Fretta's the eve. of the 4th. They all played in the lake. Hannah went tubing & had a blast. Hayden buddied up with Truett & Cam & Turner became good friends & had fun running up & down the grassy hill. They all enjoyed the fireworks. Cam did not like the loud noises, so Turner, Cam, & Baba had a secret hideout on the sunporch & we watched from afar - even turned on the light & shut some windows. He finally uncovered his ears & decided he liked the colors in the sky. We took them home, gave them baths & Jo came to spend the night. Today Jo is taking them on a picnic. Thurs. we planted flower seeds. Hannah also went swimming with Tonya's boys Fri. aft. We love you with all our hearts & we pray daily for you. We'll be go excited to hear from you often. Love Madeline for us. God bless you all.
