The After School Soccer (Football) season ended on Wednesday.
Ben really enjoys playing and Mikayla really enjoyed helping out coach the little kids.

I've had people ask me what the street we live on looks like.
Here it is.............
Starting up the street from the main road
Walking up the hill.
Our house is at the top of the hill on the right hand side.
The street we live on is a dead-end street which is nice as there
is not much traffic.
Our house. There is an empty lot next to us which is grown over
with vegetation.
Last night we received a call from our foster care social worker that James and Jerard have been declared legally available for adoption.
So now we can start the process of collecting the paperwork needed to file for adoption of James and Jerard.
Pray that this process will go smoothly. Thanks!
In our hearts James and Jerard are our sons already. It will be great when
within the next 12 months or so they become legally our sons!
We had to take our three older kids to the American Embassy outreach in Davao yesterday to renew their passports (otherwise we would've had to fly up to Manila to do that!). So, they got pulled out of school to do that with us.
Then, Kurt and I took them out to lunch and on a 'Family Sneak' - meaning we took them on an outing and they didn't know where we were going!
One of our favourite places to go is Eagle Sanctuary. It's less than an hour from our home, doesn't cost much, is cooler than the city, and quiet!
We had a great time walking, seeing the eagles and other animals, and getting a few things from the local vendors who set up there!
Kirsten has two ear piercings now, like her big sister.
