Daniel, Elina and Gideon are doing well and still waiting on a phone call from the adoption agency. We are all excited, but realize that we need to be patient also. Gideon continues to do very well with his cello and will be adding drums to his list of musical instruments. It is so hard to believe that he will be starting school next year, my how time flies. Otherwise the Vath family is doing wonderful!
          J.D., Rachel and the kids are now in Fairmont, West Virginia. J.D. continues to work with the same company he was with in Little Rock, but in another field. They are all (specially J.D.) trying to get accustomed to the longer winters and we are sure they will enjoy the spring and summer weather. Elijah, Ivy and Auburn are beautiful and growing so much. Elijah had a work day with his Dad and was able to spend part of the day with him, at his office, ”working”. He was so excited and enjoyed it so much.
          Trish and I are doing good, staying busy as usual. Because of different ministry related activities I have slacked off on my exercise routine. Trish, because of a rib injury has also had to do the same. We are both looking forward to getting back into our routines though. Although we miss being close to our kids and grandkids we do enjoy every moment we get to video chat with them.
        Trish and I are so thankful for our family. Please keep us in your prayers as we  grand parent long distance. Thanks!
