January 24, 2010


We are having a blast with Kembert home. Despite the language barrier, the kids are having a non-stop party, laughing and squealing and enjoying each other. Last night, Jafta told me, “Mommy, Kembert is a wonderful person.” We think so, too. Our homecoming yesterday was amazing. So many friends came to welcome him home, after years of supporting us and praying for us. We are so thankful.

    first of all, when did karis grow turn into a little girl?

    i am so, so excited for you guys.

    jafta's comment reminds me of camden's analysis of scuttle the seagull, on the little mermaid:
    "scuttle is a great man."

    praying for a wonderful transition for you guys.

    Only God can turn mourning into dancing….
    Psalm 30:11 (KJV)
    "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness"
    So happy for alllll of you! Will continue to pray for those still left behind and pray for your family through this transition.
    Blessings.
