Hello everyone. I know many of our friends and family check the blog regularly. Unfortunately there really hasn't been any new developments in the past week as far as the adoption goes. We are a tad frustrated that we have not received MOJ approval by now. Two other families who submitted their paperwork at the same time received approval over two weeks ago. It's just hard to be patient and understand why ours has not been approved. Last week we sent Emma a toy, outfit, and some pictures. We have purchased her a small doll and an Elmo. We are going to send the doll this week and the Elmo later on. We buy two of everything so when we get he home, the same toys she had in Binh Duong will be here. We have been told the toys we send her do not come with her when we bring her home.
School is out for Cathy and I. The busy pool season started for me on Saturday, although the preparations started over a month ago. It is an extremely stressful time for me as we now have 18 commercial pools and almost 100 part-time employees. Believe me summer is no break for this teacher! I want summer to go as fast as possible. One, to bring Emma home, and two for pool season to be over. Teaching 9th grade is much less stressful than running the pool company! I couldn't do it without our daughter Abby, she has taken a large role in the business. Also, Adria Smith, Eric Wright and Brian Beale have taken on supervisory positions with our company. All three of them are good friends and teach with us at PC North. They help us out alot and we couldn't do it without them.
Cathy has been working around the house. We have been going to the gym in the morning. Emma's room is slowly taking shape. Everyone asks if there is anything new, but unfortunately there is nothing as of today. We do think we'll get new pictures and an update at the end of June. There is a couple over there right now that picked up their son from Emma's orphanage. They graciously took a package to her from us. We are hoping they were able to take a few pictures of her while they were there. We are all just craving new pictures and information.
Well that's all for now. Please keep our family in your prayers. Candice has taken a job in Japan and is moving there June 3rd. Say a special prayer for her. Thank you for your love and support. Hopefully our next post will be about MOJ approval!
