The End Of A Great Mother's Day



Today was a super Mother's Day. I kind of thought it would be a little depressing because Andy is gone and whatever, but the kids and I had a great day! Church and Chinese food and FOB (nap time) and Disney's Earth and McDonald's. . .home to a quick (okay, not so quick) room clean up and then good night! We had a blast! Sang along with Jordin Sparks and Miley Cyrus on the way home. . .our terrible voices and all of us jamming along with Gabby. It was fun!

The movie was good! Dax about died when he heard "Darth Vador" narrating the movie! That was a highlight for him! The movie was well done. . .no references to the earth being "billions of years old" and just a little bit on global warming. . .not too much of the humans are runining the world guilt trip! We loved it! It was a tad long for Dax, but he laughed HARD at a few parts! I recommend it! And Hays informed me that every ticket sold plants a tree. . .he always knows the random details!

So, we are good in Colorado. I am missing my unknown son today. . .it was just weird to have a great Mother's Day and know that there is a boy in Rwanda who is my son and he isn't here and I have no idea anything about him. Just weird.

We miss Andy!

Hi Jamie Jo,

I prayed for you and Em we and your boys to come. We had the Ugandan Watoto choir last night at church, a perfect day for me to get both Asia and Africa in the same place.

Happy Mother's Day,
Shannon

I thought Brett may steal one of the Ugandan orphans last night his name was Patrick,which would be great....other than all the jail time.

I wanted to see Earth with Brady over the weekend, but he didn't want to go... even after I told him Darth was speaking through the entire movie. He said it looked boring and didn't want to see an Animal Planet movie... :(

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...
