Up in the North Woods

Greetings from Ashland, Wisconsin. We are at the Hotel Chequamegon (http://www.hotelc.com/ ) in town to attend the "Festival of Hope" tomorrow. Our agency holds a festival once a year to celebrate Liberian style and to help network families who have or who are in the process (like us) of adopting from Liberia. They will have Liberian drummers, hay rides, and an African store where we can buy items from Liberia, as well as an auction. We visited Copper Falls State Park and enjoyed a beautiful sunset after dinner. On a side note, we received a call today that we may receive a foster baby this week. But we've received many of those in the past that have never come to pass, but if the Lord wills, we may receive some early diaper re-training for our Liberian children.
