Happy Father's Day!

It is so fun to have three Fathers in my life that I love so dearly and who I am so thankful for!  I am a very very blessed young (getting older) lady!
First to my dad.  Daddy, you're amazing!  I love you so very much!  I've loved you since I remember and I love you so much more today.  I love calling you.  I love hearing your ring tone (John Mayer's "Daughters") come on my phone when you call.  I love it that I have someone so compassionate who I can call anytime day or night.  I love it that you answer your phone no matter what. . .and then you'll talk to me for several minutes before you say that you're in a meeting or even on stage.  I love the way that you make me feel so valued and important!  I love the way you love my kids.  I love to see your courage and your love in everything you do and all that you are having to deal with right now.  I'm proud of you in that!  I love to see you love Mom and I love to see your heart for my sister and brothers and their spouses.  I love it that you love Andy.  Thanks for loving so big.  You love the biggest and I am so blessed by your love!  I love you, Daddy!  Love, Peanut
Andy, the father of our children.  You're a good dad and I love watching you get even better every single day.  I love how much the kids love you!  I love to see Hays want to be with you so much and want to learn so much because you know so much.  I love the way Maggie looks at you because there is so much love and adoration in her eyes when she does.  I love to see you take Tiki into our family even when it is hard and to see the way you stay so consistent with him.  I love it that you let Dax love me so much.  I know that sounds kind of weird, but I do love it.  And my favorite is the way you and Gabby love one another.  Y'all are hysterical and your love is fierce and I love that!  Thanks for being the father of my children.  Thanks for loving them so much!  I love you!
PaPa, I love you.  You are so very dear to me.  You are so quietly loving.  I know that I could call you any time and you would jump as high as I ever asked if I needed you.  You are so diligent and wise and steady.  You are so many things that I hope to be some day.  You're a great person to look up to.  Thanks for loving Andy and for loving me as your very own daughter.  I know that you do and I am so thankful. I love you, PaPa!

So, there are to the fathers in my life.  I love you all and I am so thankful that I get to write three Father's Day blog posts (essentially) today!

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 ...
