Another couple months have rolled by...and still we have no news to share. We've submitted for a couple kiddos here and there, but for the most part things have been really slow. I keep reading in the news and  on all the county and state adoption facebook fan sites that there are over 100,000 kids in care needing homes...where the heck are they all then? How do I find out about them? It's just so frustrating!

There's still that once little one in particular that we are waiting to hear about....I think of her all the time and can definitely see her fitting in very well with our family. So, we'll continue to say lots of prayers that we are choosen for her...guess we'll just have to wait and see!


Things have been pretty busy for us lately. My sister and I recently sold our dads farm and had an auction for all the farm equipment. It went very well and we were very pleased with the outcome. Steve and I recently purchased 1.7 acres on the Otter Tail River - so that's pretty exciting!!! We can't wait to get out there and start clearing out some of the brush. We plan to build a little deck down by the water and a gazebo further up at the top of the hill. Tons of space for kids to run and play! Last night we met the guy that owns the empty lot next to us - he said once the river goes down a bit it's around 5 feet in the deepest part of the river. Kind of dissapointing as far as putting a pontoon in - but it will definitley make swimming a lot more fun!! The bottom is nice and sandy and the current is pretty slow...perfect!! Our plan is to eventually build out there...probably won't happen this summer though. But, who knows!

Beautiful!!

That's all for now! Please remember to say lots of prayers for us, that we get matched soon!!
