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...

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 ...
