Iowa State Fair!!

We received Ben's official paperwork late last Friday afternoon and sent the papers back out on Saturday. I'd like you to introduce you to another close friend of mine, the Independence, MO post office.



We then drove from there directly to the Holt family picnic! We enjoyed meeting some other Ethiopia families face to face and showing off our photos of Ben ;-)

After church on Sunday, Lucas and I left for our big Minnesota Iowa trip that we do about every 3 months. We are spending this week here in Iowa. Below are some wonderful photos from the Iowa State Fair. It was toasty, but not as hot as we are used to daily in Missouri. Lucas' favorite part of the fair was definitely all of the tractors.







We rode the shuttle (behind the tractor) that goes around the fair twice, and also the shuttle that goes up into the campground area. Just as long as we were looking at tractors, being pulled behind tractors, or touching tractors, all was well.







Tomorrow we will be participating at the Sweet Corn Festival in Adel, IA that is part of the Wicks family reunion weekend. After all that excitement, we will be heading up to Minnesota on Tuesday for a week of visiting friends and family there.

We will continue to keep ourselves busy during this difficult time of the wait with no set date to look forward to. We hope to have some news around the end of September. Until then, we will continue to pray for Ben daily and enjoy the family that is already here :-)
