July 4th weekend was spent at Aunt Bethie's house in Ocean City, MD. We had a full house with my mom and Ray's parents there also. We spent time on the beach, going to yardsales (love my new Air Force Barbie for $3!!!), walking the Boardwalk, watching the fireworks and just general silliness. Justin went golfing for the first time (thank you for the junior clubs Uncle Bob!) with Ray, Dad and Uncle Bob. It was wonderful to be together with family. We can't wait to share our family with Sunshine. We talk about her often. I pray that she is safe and that God will keep her in the palm of his hand (love...love...). My cup runneth over....

We received notice that the regulations for adoption in Albania have changed. It doesn't look like (at the moment anyway) that it will affect us, but we'll see. They have added requirements for adoptions submitted after May 1st. Our adoption was submitted in December and approved and accepted by the Albanian Adoption Committee in February. If we need more than one update(since adoptions take so long your information needs to be updated every 18 months) then we may fall under these new guidelines. Pray we get her soon!
I can't forget to mention how wonderful Montana was. This year's Indian Youth Camp in Hungry Horse, Montana was June 9 - 13. The theme was Heroes. We had about 200 Native American children from many tribes/reservations and camp staff from all over the US. The weather was a bit crazy, it snowed on June 10th! It was in the 70s by the end of the week - bizarre. There was a lot of restlessness with the campers at the beginning of the week and some even needed to be sent home, but by the end of the week God showed them his strength!! The chapel for the last night was on fire. God's presence was thick in the air with campers crying out for Him!! Praise God!! I love that my children get to witness such a place, holy ground.... 
It was great to see our "Camp" friends. Thank you for sharing my 40th birthday with me. We love you all!!
Blessings to all,
Deb
