Looking Forward to the Weekend


Heck no, I am not doing the half Iron Man in Texas.  Let's just get that cleared up from the start.  But my wonderful husband is!  I am so proud of him and I cannot wait for this weekend!

Andy and I are headed to Galvaston tonight and we will get to spend the weekend together with no children and I cannot wait!  (BeBe is flying in today to keep the brood.)  I'm excited to just be with my hubby.  Weekends away are so rare and I cherish them so much!  We have TONS to talk about and we need to laugh a lot!  And then he has the whole race to do and I cannot wait to cheer him on!

So, if you think about it, pray for the Braners.  Pray that BeBe does okay with the five children (she once told me that her limit is two--oops), pray that Andy and I have good quality time and that the decisions we need to make this weekend about our future are clear and pray for Andy on Sunday as he busts it in this race of a lifetime.  (And, to that reader who doesn't like it when I ask for prayers that seem trivial compared to world hunger and stuff, sorry, you'll have to deal with my pettiness yet again.)

So, we'll be off this evening. . .leaving on a jet plane. . . . !

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)?
