Welcome to September. I am sad to see that summer is pretty much over, and the weather was somewhat disappointing. I feel like we didn't spend enough time enjoyng the outdoors, especially since Koen loves it, and rain is sure to come to Seattle soon.
On the adoption front, nothing new really. We are hoping to get our Immigration approval in the next week or two (reality is probably later this month, but we can pray for sooner).
The twins we were originally told about when we started with our agency have been adopted by a family - good news really, but does adjust Keith's dreams a little perhaps. It is very rare that twins will go up for adoption. There is a set of boy twins available, but we're pretty sure we want at least one girl.
I have a hard time with that, and an even harder time lately specifying a "healthy" infant, or even an infant at all. The need is so much greater among special needs, and older children, and there are even more boys up for adoption. I don't know if God may be calling us to something different - perhaps a child with minor special needs, or even a toddler, or a boy, but I want to be open to it. We have to decide really soon though, because I'm not sure we can change things once our paperwork goes to Vietnam.
Yesterday we got to celebrate a friend's birthday at a luau BBQ they hosted. The person with the best Hawaiian attire won a Starbucks card, so Koen volunteered to wear an embarrassing outfit for his father's love (addiction really) of coffee.
Oh, by the way, Koen won.
