On Friday, August 3, the CCAA announced it had placed children with families whose documents had been completed before November 21, 2005. Just 7 weeks of documents until ours is completed!

Those 7 weeks may possibly drag into 7 months of time, unless the CCAA is able to speed up the process, which is currently 1 week per month.

Based on that, our family is traveling to Paris and Bordeaux, France, the week of Thanksgiving and following, as part of a missions group to use choral music as a means of reaching French nationals. This will be our first missions trip as an entire family, and we are looking forward to it.
