A little Update...

Hello dear friends and family! A quick post and update on recent prayer requests:
-Emma is mostly potty trained now! We are still in the stage where it is a lot of work but she is making progress
-We found a cream that has completely cleared up Christopher's eczema (pic below)!
- We just switched insurance and will follow up about Christopher's hearing during or after the Christmas break with the new doctor. In the meantime, we are keeping his ears squeaky clean :)
-We are continuing to get plugged in at our new church and are in the process to become new members

We are praising the Lord for hearing the prayers of his people.

We are saddened to see in the news that Russia may stop adoptions of Russian children by American families. We are praying God uses this for more to learn of the orphan crisis and that more Christian families will adopt, whether from Russia or elsewhere.

We are getting ready for Christmas by focusing on our Savior's birth, decorating and cooking up yummy treats in celebration of this wonderful holiday.
Adelyn is so close to walking and has already taken a few steps; exciting stage :)
Pics below:
-Carmex cream has helped tremendously with Christopher's eczema!

-Anna and Libby helping Mommy make turtle cups, a candy made with pecans, freshly made caramel and chocolate
-One of the pictures is of our children singing with children at church in a celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas recently.

Again, sorry they are not in order with captions! Thanks for praying for us and we hope you stay warm and have a wonderful Christmas celebration!
