Father's Day & Catch Up Pictures


Happy Father's Day to three amazingly wonderful fathers: Andy, the father of my children who is fun and a great teacher. . .PaPa, the father of my children's father who is wonderfully sweet and gentle and patient and steady. . .and last but very much not least (nice grammar), my father. Daddy, I love you and you mean the world to me. You have helped to make me the woman I am today and I adore you more than you will ever know! I am a better person because of the three of you and I am so thankful that I get the honor of having three amazing dads in my world!

Below are some fun pictures from the last several days. We have had fun. The kids have gone to the pool with their sitters. We went to the hot springs yesterday for an early Father's Day treat and it was SO much fun (beautiful weather, too). Last night we went to see Toy Story 3. . .MOTHERS, DO NOT GO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!! Just let the dads take the kids. I bawled my eyes out when Andy actually left for college. . .there was NO stopping the tears!

Today my kids were in a little "mule" accident. The mule is a 4-wheel-drive-golf-cart-deal. Hays was driving and rolled it with Dax and Tiki in it. Thankfully they are all okay. . .some stitches (or glue or something) for Tiki, but PRAISE THE LORD that they are fine. I had a complete break down once I got to hug my kids who were all in one piece.

Tonight was the Camp Kivu "At The Hop" party and we have been dancing the night away! Andy and I get to teach the camp how to dance and it is SO MUCH FUN! So, enjoy the pics!

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 ...
