Ah, June

A couple leftovers from Memorial Day:


"Oh, Papa, could we just throw one rock into your pond?"



The Ultimate Frisbee players: Brian, Kevin, T.J., Chad, Megan, and Ellen

H's tenth birthday party included the Birkland cousins, Gram and Papa, Grandma Wee, Gammy and Papa, Nana and Papa, Aunt Meg, Uncle Brian, and Aunt Ellen. Aunt Meg sent the kids on a treasure hunt.






The Spore family's Fifth Annual Last Day of School Breakfast on the Deck




Happy Father's Day to the Wrangler of the Bathtub Bandits. Love you, Honey!


H turns ten! I think that officially makes us old.


June is my favorite month of the year. With the end of school, ripe strawberries in Nana's patch, birthdays, Father's Day, ballgames, and swim meets, we have stayed busy...... a good kind of busy. It's the kind of busy that acts like an epidural for the labor pains of international adoption.:)
We would love to hear something from the Ministry in Rwanda this week, giving us official approval to adopt one or two of their country's treasures. At that point, we will know that our paperwork has been sent to an orphanage where they will match a child or children with our family. Please pray for favor for the Spore family in the eyes of the Ministry and for our child/ren in Rwanda ....for their safety and that someone would be loving on them tonight.
