After mudding and sanding the terribly damaged walls and applying layers of primer and paint over a lovely shade of pink we have restored our century old office to it's original state! This project also gave us an excuse to purge the contents within so we are enjoying a new and far less cluttered space to read, write, peruse the internet, and engage in stimulating conversation after our children are in bed. And just maybe we will be motivated to reinstate an exercise routine on the bike sitting in the newly painted corner. :) Once we renovate both of the bathrooms we will have redone EVERY room in our ten room house!!
We derive great satisfaction (too much, perhaps?) from removing years of old paint and revealing the fine hardware beneath. How could anyone paint over such a great looking piece of metal? :)
Now for the news you're really curious about... according to the timeline we were recently given we should be getting our travel call this week! Our bags are packed and we are more than ready to meet our precious son, but given the fairly high probability for disappointment, we are trying not to get our hopes up too high. Please pray that we will get the call this week, but if we don't, please pray that we will be able to be patient and rest in God's plan. By the way, you are all invited to meet us at the airport if you'd like to be a part of welcoming Titus to our family and to the United States! We will be sure to let you know when to show up.
P.S. Family Camp-out pictures are forthcoming.

How exciting that it might be this week! We'll keep you in our prayers and I hope you get that call soon. Maybe we'll both get our little boys at the same time ;o)
Thanks for the update! I've been thinking of you and hoping for good news. We will pray that Titus comes home soon! Love to you all.
How fun to get home projects done! It looks like such a cute (cozy for Ronn's sake) room. We've been doing some ourselves since Dennis is home and trying to get done before another child arrives is great motivation :). We will be praying that you get to meet Titus soon and that your girls will adjust well to being big sisters. Our Rachel has done well so far with Esther. I'll try to update my blog soon.
