Allergies Suck (Snot)


Nice title.  I know.  But seriously, if I have to tell Dax one more time, "Dax, STOP SUCKING YOUR SNOT!" I think I'll go crazy.  Silly, though, since I'll probably be telling that to him three more times before I finish this post.

Last year allergies were pretty non-existent.  Maybe because we had over 100 inches of snow and it stayed on the ground until the end of May?  Maybe because our bodies were just so happy to be out of Missouri allergy season that they were saying "thank you" by not being affected by Colorado allergies?  I don't know.  But this year, they are yucky.

Andy is out of town and Dax tends to sleep with me when that is the case, so I spent most of the night telling Dax to quit sucking his snot even from my deep R.E.M.  Maybe that is why it is so on my mind today.  Again. . .who knows?

I'm ready for summer to be here.  Spring is pretty much nothing up here. . .especially in my neighborhood where green lawns and pretty flowers are against the neighborhood covenants.  So, the allergies are even more annoying because there is really nothing to show for it.  The trees don't really get leaves until the end of May and the Lilacs don't come out until then.  So, what are the allergies????

Gabby also has allergies.  Her nose and her eyes are CONSTANTLY running.  And she says "my nose is running off again" or "my eyes are leaking."  Poor thing.

Well, enough about allergies.  Enjoy Spring wherever you are. . .if you are in the Midwest or the South, please enjoy all of the flowers for me!  If you are from Branson and you are driving to Springfield, please please please enjoy all of the different shades of green!  I miss all the greens!!!

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...

Braner, Party of SEVEN!!!!

Well, I guess it isn't officially official until we pass court, but we have a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is six years old and his name is Jean de Dieu (John of God). That is all I know. No pictures or anything else, but this is plenty to digest for now. I am overjoyed and so happy and overwhelmed and a little nervous. I promise to pass along details once I have them and pictures, too! But for now, my children are Hays, Maggie, Jean de Dieu (John?), Dax and Gabby. God is good and I cannot wait to see what He has in store for Braner, party of seven!

Counting to 20

Okay, you blog readers.  If you are a language or older child adoption or whatever expert, I need help and advice.  When I met Tiki, he could not speak any English EXCEPT he could say "Spider Man" and he could count to twenty in ENGLISH.  Now that Tiki is totally fluent in English he can hardly make it to ten and cannot get past twelve.  He's a smart kid.  He just learned an entirely different language in less than a year and he is learning to read.  But this counting thing is frustrating me.  I realize that I need PATIENCE!!!  I am VERY AWARE of that.  But is this normal?  Any advice (besides the patience piece)?
