Yeah! Praise God!

Sorry it has taken us so long to update! Time has just been flying and we haven't found time to do much of anything, but keep busy!

Praise God! Thanks to friends and family we have raised enough money to turn our dossier in! With the $2,500 matching grant we received from Lifesong we raised a total of $5,895! Our dossier fee is $5,600 + $1,000 translation fee. We are so excited that through you, God has provided almost all of the dossier fees! We are confident that if God has brought us this far he will be faithful to the end!

We have had several friends ask us if they can still donate. Yes! Our account is open for as long as we like.

Tomorrow is another big day for us! We are driving to Springfield, IL to get the rest of our documents Apostilled. Hopefully we can turn our documents in before the end of the month! "Hold on little Kochersperger's! Mommy and Daddy are coming to get you!"

One reason for our hectic life is due to putting up a new privacy fence. Trying to get this down before the ground freezes is proving to be difficult! Here is a picture of James and friend (Chris) hard at work drilling holes.

Chris' wife Melissa (a good friend of Melanie's) also took a picture of Melanie and the family dog Maui! (Maui is slightly spoiled! She just got done playing frisbee and is a little out of breath!)
