Hello Birdie!!!

Yes, this is the wreath that hangs beautifully on the front door and is also home to a beautiful Robin and her babies.

I was only able to get a picture of one of her eggs.
I have always loved the Robin Blue egg color.

Brooklyn thinks they are so cute!! I am not sure I agree with her right now, but I know they will be soon!

The babies are very hungry and wondering where there mother is....

Her she is watching me very carefully.
The mommy bird is not very happy that I am taking pictures of her babies. I am sorry Robin, but if you build a nest in my wreath....I get to take pictures. =)

They did such a great job singing.

Grandpa (my dad) decided to go with Kobe to his class. I feel bad that I don't have any pictures of Kobe in his classroom.
As you can tell the classrooms were packed full of wonderful grandparents!!

The End is Near!!!

Levi
Landon

Dear Julie,

I have good news for the family. We got the Civil ruling decree!!!!! We have also made AIT appointment on June 11.
Hopefully, the family will come a couple of days earlier before AIT interview. We will suggest the family visit two boys at Jonah House for 2-3 days before they take them to hotel and then stay in Taiwan for at least 7 days in total. It is not easy for children at their age and we hope that the moving transition will be smoothly with gradual separation. Tomorrow, we will have a seminar soon and will discuss the detail picking up procedure for the brothers.

The two children do not attend school, they will be available for Skype visit with the family if the Wheteheads would like to. Please advise what weekdays they would like to set up the skype visit. Our skype address: jonah house

Their follow up reports will be following with the next e-mails.

I am just screaming with joy and of course Brooklyn is excited to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa!!!!
We serve an AWESOME GOD!!!
Thank you God for allowing us to be parents to Levi and Landon.
Look out Taiwan......here we come!!!
