Feasting Like Royal Court

We have been so blessed by our host family in our short stay! Juve (pronounced hu-vee) was adopted from Mexico when he was 15 years old and his birth mom and sisters also live here in MI. Juve's mom Angela came over today and cooked an authentic Mexican meal for us right before we went for our daily Isaiah visit. The pico de gallo was absolutely incredible and I never knew tortilla's could taste so good!

Eryn and Juve then invited us to her cousin's home for dinner (this is their Saturday night recurring event). Delicious shishkabob's with parmesan potatoes. Awesome!

Most importantly, we have decided to come home until the court date (yet to be determined). Emotions are running very high for me as it is VERY hard to be away from both my kids, but we believe this will be the best decision for all of us. We are heading back to Iowa after our visit with Isaiah in the morning.

Even though emotions are high, we have an amazing peace, as we know God is in control! Thank you all for your prayers. We look forward to seeing many of you soon.

Here are some pictures from our visit on Saturday.

We just love this little guy's big lips.


A little glimpse of his eyes.


We've got him on binkies to strengthen his sucking.
