I have a confession . . . .

I have a confession, I have a huge secret.  It has been absolutely gut-wrenching to hold it in for more than two months!  Normally I cannot keep a secret (at least my own) for more than a few hours.

We got a call in mid-October that Evan has a sister! Usually a 'sibling call' makes the adoption process actually a bit simpler/easier/faster, whatever you want to call it. However we have been fighting to adopt her since then. I say 'fight' because it was been an emotional and spiritual battle! Because of some new adoption laws in Korea and because our daughter is with a different adoption agency in Korea than Evan was, there have been some complications in convincing the adoption agency we are the family for her. However we received approval and finally got a photo of our baby girl!

Bom Mun 9 months in November

Please keep us in your prayers:

- while we remain patient in the waiting process
- as we prepare E for a baby sister (big drama will await us I'm sure)
- the continued health and development of Baby Mun
- the Korean gov't and other adoption officials for wisdom and prompt approvals!
- blessing the foster family for their tireless dedication and love for our baby!

Halloween!

We attended a carnival at Dan's parents church on Saturday night. I was a bit overwhelmed but I am not big on crowds! We got Evan dressed up and we played all kinds of games and had rootbeer floats.  On Halloween Dan and I had small group so Grandma and Grandpa Freudenburg came over to pass out candy with Evan to the neighborhood kiddos. Evan loved to hand out the candy and see all the costumes.  Earlier that day I helped out at preschool. They walked across the street to a few businesses to trick or treat, Evan really had no clue what was going on but I was proud at how good he got at saying "thank you"
