What A Week. . .

I'll say it again, what a week! Stitches, chicken pox, impetigo, poison oak, more stitches and a broken bone. Goodness! I understand that all of this is very common with children, I really do, but what a week! My poor friend (and doctor), Valerie, is going to quit answering my calls!

Hays busted his knee to start this whole week of injuries out. He got a couple of stitches. The picture doesn't do the injury justice, but it is a little glimpse (I need to bring my good camera to the ER and not just my phone).


Then Maggie with her weird disease. I have pictures but I can't get them to upload. That is probably a good thing because I'm not positive that Mag wants her infected body posted for the world to see! It is pretty nasty. . .poor girl. But the medicine is starting to work and I can see that they are getting better daily. . .and no more spreading--thank goodness!

Yesterday was Tiki's turn. He smashed his finger in a mountain bike break and sliced it about 70% off and broke his cute little pointer finger (on his writing hand). Poor guy. Again, the picture does not do this justice either! We go to a specialist later in the week because they are worried about the joint and how much tissue and whatever that got cut open. It is so interesting, though, I feel like I am being "attacked" and at times I really do feel like I am. However, last night in the ER I just kept thanking God for Tiki. It was so special in a terrible sort of way!



But, Gabby is still healthy. Dax's fever is gone. Tiki's fever is gone. . .just new pain for him. Hays is having a blast at camp! Andy is seeing a chiropractor and is getting a small bit of relief every day. Oh my. Life is NEVER dull around our house. One dull day might just be fun, though!

Oh my gosh! You guys are really getting it all at once! Did that happen to Hays while he was in MO?

I hope everyone gets well at once. Will say a prayer.
Dearest Jaime Jo,

You are under attack... you had students from ALL over the world at your camp and God is at work. My dear pastor's daughter at age 15 just highlighted her first Bible verse on her OWN and the Holy Spirit is just so evident in her life AFTER camp. So be encouraged and KNOW we are praying for you all.
Much love and RESPECT,
Shannon

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 ...
