15???

Big News! We are expecting our 14th and 15th grandchildren! What?! When?! Who?! Rob and Jessica are...adopting a little brother and sister from Haiti! It takes about a year or longer to get all the paper work finished (red tape) and lots and lots of $$. Armon Robert is 3 1/2 and Elmise Sarah is 4. Jessica just returned from Haiti where she met them and grew to love them in just a few days time. Rob will be going down in couple of months. We've seen pictures of them...our darling little grandchildren! Lots of details have already been started along with the red tape, like an adoption bank account, plans for the remodeling of bedrooms, the excitment of sharing the news with family and friends, I could go on and on! Heavenly Father, I love You. I am amazed at Your plans for each of us and how You work out plans and bring details together in amazing ways. Please be with little Armon Robert and Elmise Sarah. Keep Your Hand upon their lives both while they are in Haiti and after they come to Michigan to live. Please also be with Rob, Jessica, Tyler, and Haleigh. They are so excited and pleased to be used by You. Help them to remember, when the going is tough, that You are there beside them, that You have chosen them to raise these two precious children of Yours and You will not forsake them. Be with Tyler and Haleigh, it's not always easy to share parents with new family members and also to share space and belongings, etc. Help Jerry and me to be good grandparents. What an awesome responsibility! I love You, Lord.
