Monday, August 3

I took this picture just after dropping my camera. I thought I had my purse and camera strap in my hand, but I had my purse strap twice – consequently my camera fell from my lap to the concrete floor when I got out of our van. The lens cover shattered, but the lens and camera are okay.

Mel and Velda (Cerwin’s sister) took me and our van to the Harrisburg Airport to get Reuben and Judi and their family who had flown in from the Midwest. (Cerwin was on his chapel delivery trip to Florida.)

I was grateful that it suited Mel to drive, because driving to the airport is not my favorite thing to do. We took our van because Reuben and Judi would be using it for the next four days – and it held car seats I had borrowed for the children. Thanks Crystal and Keri.

They are in our area for another court date concerning Little K’s adoption.

It has been a long journey.

Reuben and Judi stayed with us a year ago when he was born – planning to take him home with them. However, after seeing him, his mother decided to keep him. They went home in tears. Four months later they spent a month with us after his mother determined that she could not keep him. After visiting Little K at Hershey Medical and then bringing him here, Reuben and Judi waited for approval to take him back to their home – across state lines. That happened toward the end of January.

They came back In May, thinking it could be the final court date, but the father (who is in jail and not married to the mother) decided to cause a ruckus. So they went home without any decision from the judge. Now they are back again, hoping this will be the final court date before his adoption.

Judi and Velda visited while Reuben, Mel, and Miss K went for their luggage.

Returning with the luggage.

Miss K was so pleased to have her own backpack – which held her toys and supplies for the trip.

By this time she is quite familiar with our house and knows exactly where she is going.

I look forward to see what God has planned for them during this stay with us.
