August 2006 Update

Hi Friends,

Thanks for how you continue to uphold us on this adoption journey...we so appreciate your eagerness to meet our new children . So far, no definate news~ only heard that our passports are in group of 16 total awaiting approval...Jenkins K. is in the same group so it still appears that our children will be travelling home together :)

This is the most recent photo we recieved...the first one of our kids together....they don't look too happy but my guess is that they were taken away from playing with toys to pose for this very inconvenient picture...it does my Mommy heart good to know that at least they are aware of each other and know that they will be "brother and sister".

We also recieved the latest height and weights on the kids...Odesco is 3# heavier and a few inches shorter!! How ironic that our somewhat malnourished son weighs more (and is younger!) than his well-nourished "big" brother!! Mercy and her sister B3 are very close in weight and height...B3 is just a bit bigger...

Well, we hope our next update will have a bit more info ...like when the homecoming will be :)

Thanks so much for your prayers and care during this very exciting time in our life as a family!
