Rain Rain go away!!!

Well  we finally got a smile so I am so excited to share it!  Pedro is feeling much better but now the rain has started and doesn't want to go away. So anyway we will make the best of it surely we can find something to do.

Not too bad the Things God has allowed our family to do!!!!

We are seriously visiting Pedro I promise not just on a amazing tropical vacation! Seriously Pedro is still recovering and having to stay in bed but I believe maybe today he will be able to get up and around more. He has had to get shots for the past 3 days and take lots of meds but thankfully is feeling and looking lots better.

Today as I was walking and talking to the Lord I had to thank him so much for how amazing he is and just realize that although Pedro hasn't got to come home with us yet He did allow us to be here when he needed us. And so for that I am so grateful and just realize that we are Pedro's family how ever that means even if it has to be long distance. we are thankful he is part of our family and for the first time in a long time Pedro does have a family to call his own.

We are in Mexico!

Well what a relief... we are together as a family at least for a week so for atleast a week I don't feel like something is missing. We got here yesterday Monday the 26th for a family visit since the kids haven't seen each other in a year and since the us goverment hasn't allowed Pedro to come home yet we felt it was necessary to come to be with him. well I was right about one thing we definatly needed to make the trip this week. I know God ordained it becuase my trip started with my alarm going off at 3:30 am Monday morning becuase we had a 6;00am flight out Carrol's alarm was set for 3:40 and at 3:37 in the morning Carrol was woke up not by his alarm but by a text message from US immigration stating that our case was infact in process again. So at that time of a morning there is no way that wasn't God reminding us he was  infact still at work in our behalf. So we will have to continue to trust in that. then when we got here Pedro was very sick so sick we had to take him to the Dr. as soon as we got here. the Dr. said that 15 more minutes and Pedro would have been in convulsions. He has a severe sinus/bacteria infection. So thank you Lord for your provision for this trip.
so as far as the trip and how it has been, well so far Pedro has been in bed the whole time but it has been nice to be the ones taking care of him and nothing against the ranch because it has been such a blessing but lets just say i know we needed to be here to handle this.
So I am dying to post pictures of us together as a family but I don't have any yet so they will have to wait. And yes there is a possibilty if the right people get a holdof our case we could bring him home but as we know so well it will only be if it is God's perfect will and we are praying for that.

I think I haven't posted pictures in so long on here because my computer wouldn't read my memory card that I forgot how to post pics and write a post at the same time. We've just been been having busy summer fun around here. This pictures are from my dad's wedding celebration that we had on the river. WE had a great time but it was soooo stinkin hot! I have to laugh when I think of how many times in the freezing cold I will say I don't care how hot it gets it soo much better than the cold, well NOT. I am over it.
 Christian made it home from his trip and of course had a awesome life changing time again I will post pictures from that soon.
 Pedro is doing well but ready to see his family so guess what? we  are going to visit next week. We will be celebrating his and Corie's birthdays while we are there at his special request and after all the poor child deserves a few priviledges. So No we still don't know when he is coming home, yes it could be possible with us but after all we have been through we are just going to focus on this being a family visit and if it works out we will be overwelmed and Thrilled! but we will just be happy to spend one wonderful week together as a family. I would ask that if you read this to please continue to pray for us and specifically that he could come home with us this trip, but we know the Lord has a perfect plan and we will as hard as it is sometimes continue to put our trust in that!

Now to finish the post I started before..

Fun on the River
