Baby Haddon Updates

Pray for baby Haddon...... Again.

Please check out my parents blog Desired Haven, for a message to pray for my nephew and updates.

WHAT HAPPENED?!

I know you are all anxious to know what happened yesterday...thank you for praying!  We are home now.  Everything went very well.  God answered many of our requests for the day.  We testified well, we feel we were above reproach in all our actions, and God was glorified.  The sweetest moment of the day, Amber...YES, we finally got to see her, hug & kiss her, and Lily was finally able to meet her!  After all this, we still have to wait two weeks for the judge to make his decision.  He is going to review the testimony and evidence and then decide.  Please pray for wisdom for him.

Here is a pic with Lily hugging Amber, her face is hidden on purpose, we did not want to violate any privacy.

Amber

Please be praying for us today at 1pm central time.  We are in AL and we will be having our last court hearing for Amber.  This will be the trial that was to take place a month ago.  Please pray that the Lord's will would be done for Amber's best.  We would love for that best to be Him placing her into our home.  We desire that the Lord's name be glorified above all in the court room and that we would be above reproach in all our actions. 
Thanks for walking with us and praying for us...Lord willing, after today, this long road will come to an end or turn to have a new beginning.
We love you all....

Back in MN :)

We are back in MN now, but here are more pics from our time at the Anderson's.  For those of you who have been waiting for more pics of Haddon, here you go.  Pray for the little guy, he is still very jaundice and is allready suffering from reflux and a possible milk allergy. 

Sweet baby boy.

Road Trip...1st stop!

Lily and I are on a road trip!  We are slowly making our way to MN for Weyland's sister's wedding, where he will join us.  Our first stop was WI to see Uncle Cal & Auntie Christina!  We had SO MUCH FUN the two days we were there!

Happy Birthday, My Daddy!

We took daddy to the park yesterday to celebrate his birthday since he has to work today. We had a picnic and then skipped rocks down by the lake. On our way home we stopped by daddy's favorite bookstore so he could look around :)
