Luke learned a very important lesson last week during his bed time routine. Before bed we always read Luke a Bible story. On this particular evening Luke and Daddy made a fort on his bunk bed to do their reading in so I stayed out of things so they could have their guy time. During this Bible story Luke learned that the most important thing that he could do is to love God. He says all the time "I love God" and "Jesus came back from the dead". I am amazed at how much he knows to just be 2 years old.As for other things going on since I last updated - We took some of our teenagers to the Acquire the Fire youth conference. We had a really good time, but got home incredibly late or should I say early Sunday morning.
This is just a cute pic - I love this shirt. I always see little girl shirts that say "Sweet" and I always say that when I have a little girl she needs that shirt. Well, this is the first boy shirt that I have seen that says "Sweet". Just kind of a play off of our name!
The weekend after Acquire the Fire we went back to Tulsa while Daniel was at a youth pastor conference. We hung out with Nana, Papa and Aunt Jen. We also had lunch with Sarah, Andrew and Heather.
Sarah and Luke are so cute. Luke was tired when we got to McDonald's and it took him a little while to get down and play, but they ended up having a really good time.
Last weekend was the prom for the town that we live in. Kori came by our house to get her picture taken with her other boyfriend.
You can't see it very good in this picture, but Luke likes to run around the house in his briefs and Lightning McQueen shoes. It is so cute!!!On a different note, Daniel and I had hoped to begin an adoption from Vietnam soon. It looks like Vietnam and the US are terminating their adoption agreement on Sept. 1. This makes us both really sad. If they don't have things worked out by next summer, we are seriously considering beginning the adoption process from India. We are very excited about that possibility, but also sad about the children that will remain in orphanages because of the termination of adoptions between VN and the US. Please pray that they will be able to work things out and come up with a transparent adoption process.

If you have questions about India...I'd love to share our experience with you. Of course...you'll have to keep in mind...we have THE best kid from India :)...but it would be great to have another India baby so close by. I'll be praying for you guys!
Hey Jamie! I loved reading your update tonight. Luke is getting so big!!! He is such a cutie! I am saddened, as well, by the state of Vietnam adoptions and pray that you and Daniel will find wherever it is that God has your next child waiting for you!
Selah has really started talking about Luke. She tells everyone that she is from Vietnam and that Luke is her best friend from Vietnam. (except she says "Beitnam")
Love you guys, Erin
