Much to Celebrate!

We celebrated receiving verbal court approval on April 6th with lunch at Namaste India and some time outdoors at Cox Arboretum.

Lots of joy, fun & silliness!

When men and boys share in Easter egg hide-and-seek, it is a bit more adventurous!

Our school year is winding down so we enjoyed a field trip to the Creation Museum with Colleen.

And here we are at the big top! This day was already exciting and then right before we arrived at the circus, we got the wonderful news that we have M's written court order! Hallelujah!

We ended the evening back at Dad & Mom's with elephant cake and clown cupcakes and ice cream (needed more sugar!) for an early celebration of Emme's 5th birthday. She didn't mind the early. :)

So, what next? M's orphanage will apply for his passport on Monday. We will likely travel in June to bring him home! So excited! Some of you knew that court will be closing soon for the summer and if the judge didn't sign the court order soon we would be delayed another 40+ days. We praise God that he did and we thank you all for praying! 

There is another picture of M on the written court order. He is still quite handsome with a winsome smile. His hair is a bit longer than the other pictures we have of him. 

Also, we learned that he is loving the photo book we sent. Some of you are in it!
