Frozen (and TuTu) Party

Oh my goodness.  Today may have been one of the most fun days I've had in a while (which is surprising because it involved six screaming first grade girls AND glitter).  We had Gabby's birthday party and she wanted a "Frozen" party.  I picked the six little girls up at school (and Dax and a friend) and played the Frozen soundtrack in the car--the girls sang the WHOLE WAY HOME and it was adorable!!!!  I was grinning from ear to ear (and singing my heart out).  Then we came home to cupcakes and Frozen colored drinks and M&Ms.  The "activity" was tutu making and we have glitter EVERYWHERE--actually EVERYWHERE is quite the understatement!  Oh my!  The house is a wreck and I don't even care because it was so much fun!  Maggie and her BFF, Lexy, were here helping the girls make the tutus and now Hays is helping Gabby and her BFF, Londyn (who is spending the night) make friendship bracelets.  What a great day.  The house is a wreck, glitter is in all cracks in all rooms and pizza is on the way.  I'm planning on watching Frozen with Gab and Londyn and heading to bed.  The house can be cleaned tomorrow and I'm not expecting the glitter to be gone any time soon no matter how hard I try!!!
The aftermath. . .the camera did not pick up the glitter.  You'll have to use your imagination and then triple it!

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)?
