Our family is in the process of adopting a baby from Uganda. This blog is a way for us to keep in touch with everyone who is supporting us through prayer and financial aid. There will be more to come later, but we wanted to quickly let you know that we're currently in the middle of our home study right now. After our home study is finished, we can apply for grants and submit the necessary documents to the US government. It's an exciting time as we continue to check things off our list of to-do items!
Also, we are finishing up our album of hymns. It's just Mike and Al and a guitar, but we think it's turning out pretty good. We'll post a link soon to the site where you can donate and download it.
If you have time, check out the website for the babies home that we're adopting from:
Here's a little about our family:
Mike- is the worship pastor at our church, Centerpoint Church in Lakeland, TN. He really enjoys his job & is quite gifted in leading our congregation in worship. He is so good at working hard for our family & trusting the Lord to provide. He is an amazing husband & father. Jude & Sammy look up to their daddy so much & can't wait for him to get home from work each day. Mike has an amazing servant's heart for his family. We are blessed by his kindness & love that he so freely gives.
Allison- I am a stay at home mom & I absolutely LOVE my job! I enjoy serving my family by cleaning, cooking yummy vegan food, keeping our home organized, making our home feel like a home :), & just having fun with them. Michael, Jude & Sammy are my favorite people to be with in the whole world! I adore my boys. I am so blessed!
Jude- is the sweetest 2 year old boy! He loves loves loves to sing! His favorite songs right now are "Holy, holy holy" & "Jesus loves me". He adores his little brother & is always concerned about him. Jude is a big help to mommy! He has the cutest sense of humor. He's a great big brother & he prays for our baby from Uganda often.
Sammy- is 5 months old & quite busy. He's ready to be running around with his big brother. Sammy thinks Jude is so funny. They laugh a lot together. He smiles all the time & is working on crawling. He tries to grab anything that's in front of him, so meal time with him in my lap is always interesting. :)
