Our garden is overflowing! The tomato plants are so laden with fruit they're barely standing up underneath it all! (... 'could also have something to do with the weak trellising I assembled this Spring!)
It's been a couple weeks since we've posted an update here ... the whole first week we were home, I admit jet lag got the best of me! Having never experienced it, I naively assumed it was something that could be beaten with willpower. But that internal clock telling me day was night and night was day took several days to sort out!!
Last week, having a renewed burst of energy, was spent preparing the Schurter homeschool classroom and enjoying final swim parties at the pool and the more vacant parks, now that public school has officially begun.
We have continued to keep in touch with our adoption agency. We received an enormous "welcome home from your first trip!" email filled with details for preparations we can do before our second trip, as well as Court proceedings we should be aware of.
We're excited to share the following update that we texted out to family and friends this morning:
Thank you friends and family for your continued prayers! Yesterday we heard from our agency that by the end of next week we should hear that our decree has been issued!
After the staff translates the decree documents for the US Embassy, and our family, we should receive a visa interview date at the US Embassy in Seoul & can book our next trip to beautiful Korea.
We're still hoping for a September travel date!! This week we are all looking forward to my brother's wedding on September 2nd... 'so glad that we will be here to participate in the celebration!!
Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks... we appreciate your prayers and support more than you can ever know!!
Jude is trying out the new felt board for our classroom!
Luke and the boys made a pinhole cereal box to safely look at the eclipse last Monday.
The kids and I enjoyed a picnic out at Lake Evergreen in Comlara Park. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! Notice our jackets; the temperatures were in the 70s with magnificent breezes!
