More than Four: March 2009
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. We received a picture of our girls this morning. (What a great way to start the week! It brought a huge smile to our faces. Mary T. explained that the picture was taken on hair day, a day when the kids get their hair washed and styled. Just had to share a bit of the photo. This picture is of Y and M along with one of their friends. Less than two months until the court date! Thursday, March 19, 2009. Star Struck in Fort Worth. Folk, of course! 160;And also to see Eli and Rebecca.

More than Four: Time and Timing
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2008/09/time-and-timing.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. In light of the great waiting game we have ahead of us, I am often reminded of this quote that I heard. Share a few years ago:. Timing is more important to God than time. Beth credited a pastor by the name of Adrian Rogers as the original author of the quote.). 160;And yet as anxious as I was (Dustin was a little more hesitant at times.) to get started, we did not have that inside peacefulness that said to our hearts, "It is time.". So we waited. . A year went by. . 160;What ...

More than Four: Birthdays and More
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2009/12/birthdays-and-more.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. As promised from the post last month, here are photos of the kids building their fort. They added cardboard boxes to keep out the wind. I think there might even be a laundry line strung across the top of their window. Thanksgiving. The kids said they did not have turkeys in Ethiopia. We had major discussions on who was going to eat the turkey legs because all three of our new kids wanted them! Madison wanted to go to a Japanese hibachi restaurant for her 13th birthday. December...

Sunday, August 16, 2009. I first saw this video when my dear friend Kristine posted it on her blog. BTW, Kristine and her husband have four amazing kids, three of which are from Russia. Several years ago God used Kristine's family to water the seeds of adoption He had placed in our hearts. She's always posting new stuff to her blog and I would encourage you to stop by and visit her!

More than Four: November 2009
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 14, 2009. Home Four Months Today. From last September about God's timing. I think what I wrote in that post is still so fitting in this different season we are in now:. So we wait. And we pray. Even as it is starting to get dark this evening, I hear the sounds of kids playing outside. We live on a farm and have a refuse pile of old, broken pallets. What a treasure to children with wonderful imaginations! Sunday, November 8, 2009. Wow Where do I begin. I have started this post a tho...

More than Four: May 2009
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Sweet Mary called with the unwanted news that we did not pass court today. However, it is o.k. The judge is requesting an additional piece of information. My heart feels good knowing that the Ethiopian courts take the future of their children seriously. Today's news really isn't what we hoped for, but we do go forward trusting that God is at work and His ways are not always our ways. Our new court date is June 16th. That is Sage's 10th birthday! Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Thinking of...

More than Four: First Day of School
http://morethanfour-snow.blogspot.com/2009/08/first-day-of-school.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. First Day of School. I surprised myself today. As I was leaving Turner's class after dropping him off, I turned and had a lump in my throat. It really caught me off guard. We are starting to feel like family and the lump in my throat is such a good indication of all the good that is yet to come. Once more, praising God for the good things He is doing in all of our hearts! August 14, 2009 at 8:05 AM. Its great to see what a wonderful support system your children have. Oh the tea...
