Happy Monday!

We are very happy to report that Mr. William Gates Rudd just received his Certificate of Citizenship in the mail. Next step Social Security Number and Updated Passport(mostly for ID purposes).

We're having a good day and after some heart to heart time with Jesus, Mamma is encouraged that we can go the distance. Adjustment stage is work and wonderful, wonderful and work. I am so thankful to be so relevant in Christ. Anytime I start seeing my nothingness bigger in the window than My God's all sufficiency I get tired. When I refocus on His ability and sovereign Lordship in my life and in the lives of our precious family I am rejuvenated.

Bridger is doing beautifully and his patience is evident and abundant in regards to his new brother. Gates has woken up without nightmares and hours of whimpering the past few times. Once he came out of a bad dream wake up fog yesterday after naps it was as if he accepted that he is far away from what he fears. He started chattering like a little squirrel and smiling all over the place. He is hugging and snuggling again and seems as if a weight has lifted from his tiny shoulders. I am hopeful that he has turned a corner!
