Enna and Poppy have two gigantic magnolia trees in their backyard. Flat Reed was impressed by the state tree and flower. He thought we should plant one in our yard! We told him that his Aunt Ava knew TONS of Mississippi facts from when she was in the Miss Mississippi Hospitality pageant.
Poppy also let Flat Reed play on the old tractor in the backyard. I'm noticing a "driving" theme between Flat Reed and Poppy.
Finally, Flat Reed got to meet Uncle Bobby. We were going to take Flat Reed to the best Mexican restaraunt in the world, Fernandos, but they were closed on Monday! WHY!?!?! We couldn't tell you. I guess the Fernandos owners like to celebrate Memorial Day!
"You mean to tell me my cousin Joshilyn is in there?" Flat Reed was amazed that he would have a baby cousin soon after he came home from Taiwan.
If we ever build a house, this is the brick and mortar that we want to use. It's messy, but not really, and has an old-world look to it.
Can anyone guess where the brick is from?
NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THIS POST. WE GOT OUR FIRST HEARING DATE TODAY!!! IT IS JUNE 6, WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE JUNE 5 HERE IN AMERICA. BEGIN PRAYING NOW FOR THE JUDGE THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO MADE A SPEEDY DECISION. IT SEEMS THE AVERAGE WAIT TIME FROM THE FIRST HEARING TO TRAVEL TIME IS AROUND 2 MONTHS WHICH WOULD PUT US IN TAIWAN IN EARLY AUGUST! LET'S PRAY FOR THAT OR EVEN EARLIER!!!!
We are SO very blessed!

This Iowa boy will be praying. Good Luck!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on the court date! Maybe we should talk on the phone more often. Oh, the building looks like one of the building at MC maybe Jennings, but that is just a random guess. And I wasn't lost on Monday just hadn't gone far enough, but I made it okay!
Woo hoo! August in Taiwan!
Oh yeah! I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!! This means that you are one step closer to having Reed in your arms!!!!!!! Yes!
YAY!!! Congratulations on getting your court date. I know you can't wait for it, and more importantly, you can't wait for Reed to be home at last!!!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!!!!!
I know it seems to you like it's taken ages for this process, but it seems to be going rather quickly in my mind. I'm so anxious to see Mr. Reed. I know it's impossible for him to be more handsome in person than he is in pictures. Walt will probably be glad to have a playmate when he visits Nana and Putty; besides Reed won't wear down as quickly as Nana and Putty. Walt can teach Reed to "jump t'gin, play piddows, and wear his swim gobbles", all of which he did while visiting us recently. The Lands and Drakes are in for some fun, fun times! One piece of advice: PRESERVE YOUR ENERGY!!!
Is the brick from Back Yard Burgers?
I remember learning all those facts about MS!
I'm excited you have a court date!!
AWESOME NEWS!!!! We are so happy for you all.
Yahh!!! Great news! Saying a prayer for the possibility of travelling sooner!
