Still waiting to find out where we are in the wait.
Well Easter has come and gone and we still trug on in our wait to get Braeley home. Easter was really hard as it felt like a piece of our family was missing so there was a sadness just below the surface. Alana lost her balloon today and drove that point home as she proceeded to tell us it was ok because the balloon was going to Taiwan and baby Braeley was going to grab hold of the string and the balloon was going to bring her home to us. So now we know even Alana is feeling the missing piece. But all in all it was a quiet Easter the highlight being that we got to see our new grand daughter. Alana is still upset that she didn't get to hold her baby Edie! Alana was very happy when she got up today and found the Easter bunny had left a basket for her baby Braeley also! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and remember with joy we serve a risen Savior!

OK check out the missing teeth! Alana had to have 2 teeth pulled a few days ago.She was already missing the middle top one but now the teeth on both sides have had to be pulled! My poor baby! So now speech is even more behind with out her 3 top front teeth. We can never win! The dental care she did not receive in the orphanage has left her teeth in a very big mess. We will be going again in a few weeks for another round, and many more after that! At least I think we are through the worse of it! I Hope......
Blue Bonnets March 2009

After the wedding we stopped on the way home so Alana could see the blue bonnets. It was her first time. It was hard for her to not pick them as it is against the law. Try telling that to a 4 year old. Since she did pick a a few before we could stop her you might see her picture on a wanted poster someday :-) We have heard from Deana and ATI has consented to let us send our information in so they can pre-approve our paperwork without having Braeley released to us first. The flip side of this is that they release the child to you then AIT will not issue a visa. This has happened to another family. So please pray that the paperwork ends up in the hands of the person God has chosen. That it is approved quickly so we can get to work on the court part and get our daughter home! Pray God smooths out all bumps and clears out any obstacles in the way! Pray for this all to start moving quickly and for God to help us finish getting the money we need to get Braeley home!

Alana was a flower girl again in our niece's wedding. She had such a great time. We love family gathering when all the kids get to be together!
