Our family

Scott and I have been married for 14
years. High school sweethearts still,
we are enlarging our family by five
very soon. Our "cinco nuestros
ninos" will be here soon, we hope!

Scott has been the mayor of our
town Harlem,GA, for six years. He
recently resigned to run for
Columbia County Commissioner. If
you live in Harlem, Appling or
Grovetown, vote for him in July!

The renovation on the house is
closing in on the end. A little more
painting and we're DONE! Now that
we have caught the renovation bug,
our family purchased another 19th
century house-to make a bed and
breakfast! Check outour work at
RedOakManor.com. The party spaces
and B&B are open for business and
the restaurant will open in August!

The children's new birth certificates
have been ordered, but of course,
the process has recently changed.
We are one of the first families to
send paperwork through, so we don't
have an estimate of how long it will
take. Pray that it is soon!
We hope Marlin, Silda,
Sindy, Mimi, and
Byron will be here
from Guatemala soon.
Things have been
slowly moving
through the adoption
process.Our case has
CLEARED the PGN! We
are waiting now on
birth certificates and
passports! We are
getting close! Keep
praying!

We would love to
have them home for
Mimi's birthday, July
4th. With God's sense
of humor, it could be
the week of the
election! No matter
what, we are ready to
bring our children
home.
Our little monkey Sindy fell out of a
tree in the orphange and has seriously
injured her arm. She has had two
surgeries and is recouperating in the
orphange. She had the pins removed
this week in a nearby hospital! She
and Anthony are both 11 and call
themselves "twins", can't you see the
resemblance?!
