Hopefuly we will be traveling this spring to meet and bring home our little one(s). We hope that by reading our story you are able to follow our journey and learn about the process of adoption.

Update from Aunt Sharron

Someimes when you're in a different part of the world, things work differently.

Like when you try to go to the internet cafe and write something, and four times it doesn't work.

Or when you watch TV and discover that all the American TV programs are from the 80s, dubbed by two people into Russian. In the programs, like Alf (anyone old enough to remember Alf?) people wear leg warmers and have big hair.

Then you walk down the street and gasp when you see people dressed like folks in the 80s TV shows.

Or when your hosts serve you horse meat (which, I was actually shocked to discover they eat in France, too, the day I passed a horse meat butcher in the South of France).

So, this is Sharron here writing to let y'all know that in spite of their best attempts to get to the internet cafe to write to all their fans today, Karon and John were not able to make contact.

But, they are alive and well and having fun with the little one.

For Mrs. Decker's students ~ she is *thrilled* that y'all have found the blog and are reading along. She is thinking of y'all a lot, too, and will have tons of stories to tell you when they get back home. She loved the things y'all wrote.

On the diaper question, I hear they won't feel qualified to make a decision until they've had a chance to see the evidence. . .changing hasn't been a part of their allowed responsibilities yet.

Let's see, what else?

I think that's it for now. Just thanks everyone so much for reading, for your prayers and support.

Love,
Sharron : )

thanks for the update. We anxiously await the trip to the hotel:-)
It is a grey day today and looks like the possibility of rain. We actually had a few snowflakes yesterday and we heard it was 35 in Prairie City, yesterday morning. State playoffs begin today for baseball and softball, so that increases the possibility of rain:-)
Love,
Jim and Beth

Give my precious little nephew a big hug and kiss from his Aunt Jeni! What an adventure you are having there Karon and John. You will have so much to share with baby bug about his homeland. I love that your students get to keep up on your journey, what a grand learning opportunity!

We are still awaiting word on Keary getting out of Kuwait. But he is happy, happy to be on his way home. I am patiently waiting by that phone! The three of you will have lots of chances to talk about the really gross things you have had to eat! HaHa.... eweeeeeee! Thank the Lord for peanut butter and Jelly!

love to you both

Jeni
