		<title>No news is not good news, sorry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know that it would appear that I have not updated you all and I am witholding information.  I wish that was the case.  Last Monday we &#8217;should&#8217; have heard when our travel date is, but we found out that our documents were not submitted to the embassy until that day.  We&#8217;ve [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=krmjtholmes.wordpress.com&blog=611632&post=155&subd=krmjtholmes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted you to know that Lucas&#8217; birth certificate is to be picked up tomorrow and the attorney should get his passport tomorrow too.  The &#8216;plan&#8217; is then for all our documents to be turned in Wednesday to the Embassy so that they can issue our appointment date/travel date!

		<title>Decided on a visit trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know we have prayed since October to be able to bring Lucas home by the end of May.  As May ticks away, that is not going to be possible.

		<title>Please pray for us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Please pray for us as I am having a tough time keeping the faith that Lucas will be home in May and am getting very discouraged.  He is just growing and changing without us and that is becoming increasingly more difficult for me, as a mom.
I also need prayer about a couple of job [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=krmjtholmes.wordpress.com&blog=611632&post=137&subd=krmjtholmes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
