Announcement!

Ok, well, it has been over three months since my last post, so maybe no one is looking anymore! Can't say that I would blame them! Things have been crazy! We sold our house and moved in that time (the move from 'you know where'), we had 25+ children come into the orphanage and placed them all with families, we had 3 families travel and 7 kids come home, Noah started kindergarden, Ava started walking.......tired yet? :) So that is some of the reason I have not posted.

I have been trying to find time to post for a couple of weeks now as we have some big news! God is calling us to step on the roller coaster of adoption again! I will share more later in future blogs as I promise to be better about posting. I want to use this to journal the experience for later! I have learned that I can type faster than I can write, and I cherish what I wrote from Eden's adoption journey as it transformed me! So you will have to bear with me as I bare all! (I probably used the wrong forms of the words there....sorry all you English type people. my math brain doesn't do words very well some times!)

Ok, I enough rambling. Let me introduce to you the newest Petree.........Obadiah! Isn't he precious! They say his birthday is Jan. 2004 which makes him 3.5, but we are thinking he may be younger. We will just have to see when we get him home and get him to a doctor! I love his name, but as is Petree tradition, John and I don't agree! He doesn't like it. I want to call him Obi (or Obie however we would need to spell it to get a long E sound at the end!) So if you like that, e-mail John and tell him! :) Here he is!
