Dear ones! Sorry it's been forever since I've written! The main reason for my lack of communication...is that there hasn't been much new news that's needed to be communicated. We do still have our sweet girl... She's getting bigger - laughing is her newest thing. She thinks Stan is HILARIOUS.... Me? Not quite so funny. Ah well.... I love that she laughs at him. :) It's so cute. Stan is amazing - all the crazy things he'll do to make her laugh... :)

Anyway... the only real news at this point is that we still don't know what's going to happen. Tali's birth mom has gotten a job....but it's a night job making minimum wage....and we don't know if the court is going to decide that this is adequate employment in order for her to have custody of her daughter or not. She has a lot to figure out in the way of nighttime childcare, how to pay for it, etc, etc. Stan and I are, of course, concerned about her schedule, how it will be affected by her mom's work hours, and about the fact that her mom will come home from work exhausted and need rest right when Tali's waking up for the day. :( I don't like that. But, we've expressed all of our concerns to her caseworker, and to others, and they share our questions. So basically, it's still a waiting game.... We have court again sometime in April (can't remember exact date right now).

I have to run, but wanted y'all to know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth....We are still here and doing well and loving Tali to bits for the time that God allows us to have her....and trusting Him and holding on for dear life.

We love you guys... Thanks for your continued prayers....
