We actually just got done with a difficult Skype call home. Violet is staying at my mom's house right now and we couldn't wait to call and actually see her through the webcam. We started the call being able to see her and my mom, but they couldn't see us. That part went fine. But when Violet could finally see us, after a few minutes she got upset and kept saying, "Wanna see mommy, wanna see mommy. Wanna see daddy, wanna see daddy," and was reaching for the computer. It was too much and we had to just tell her we loved her and would see her soon and hung up. Fortunately, we had Lona here to talk to Amanda from a woman's perspective and help her feel better quickly.
It still feels like it's going to be a long time before we get to go home. And we are continuing to pray (and ask for prayer) that all the paperwork stuff would go through and that we will get to know Anara better and how best to care for her. We are being reminded that it is a difficult time for her, too. We love you all. As promised, here are some pictures we've taken so far.

Hey Nate and Amanda! I am so excited for all of you, extended family included! Know that I am praying for each of you and can't wait to see what God does! Praying for the embassay, healthy attachment, and for your little vi as well! Godspeed--Pam
Great potos kids; cute little gal. Vi will be okay, she's had good teachers thus far. Take care of the baby, can't wait for the next update. ........Grandpa Provines
I agree with Grandpa. I check the blogspot several times a day waiting for any news about my granddaughter. Is she eating better, does she sleep at night, how does she react to Lona's kids. Is she saying Meemaw yet?
