VISAS!!!!!!!!!

(my spell check isn't working for some reason and too lazy to re-read to make sure it's all correct..  sorry...)

Wow!  It's been a bit crazy and hectic here lately!  And I'm sure it's only the beginning, but I'm SOOOO ready!!!  :)

We got our VISAS on Monday!!!!  :)  We are still waiting to hear our travel date, but thinking we will hear any day now!  ;)

I put Keegans bed together and Curt and his dad went to go get the mattress from a friend who was giving it to us!  THANK YOU soooooo much!!!!  The boy’s rooms are officially MUCH smaller now, but I am ok with that and so are Thad and Gavin! They are READY to get Keegan in their room!  :)

We have a dresser for him and thanks to my SIL, Paula; we have a few 5-6 summer outfits for him!!!  :)  We will need to get a few fall things, but don't know all the sizes yet!  I'm thinking all 6 of our kids are going to need shoes and clothes come fall!  ;)

I'm so ready and excited to get Ella and Keegan, but yet I have this peace and patience yet....  I know that God's timing is perfect and I'm ok with that!  I also know that the month of July is going to FLY by!!

Curt will be doing a work project from July 1-4th, then that Saturday we have a church work project, the 10th-13th he will be in Haiti, fly’s home around 5 pm on the 13th and then leaves by 3 am on the 14th-20th to go to Mexico mission’s trip with our church! Dakotah gets to go with him and is absolutely THRILLED and counting down the days til she can go!!!  :)
After that we have our FAM JAM, our family VBS at church, and then the week after that, which I think is July 30- Aug4 or 5th he will be in MI for his DM Conference!  Plus little things here and there in-between!  ;)

Trying to stay on top of some school work with the kids, which I am not succeeding so well this week...  haha...  And major cleaning and purging going on and re-arranging, again, as well!  I guess you call this nesting?  Didn't know that could happen when adopting!!  ;) 

That's pretty much all we know right now!  Just waiting on our travel date so we can GO and plan better!  :)

Oh, we did send Keegan and Ella a care package and we got pics of Ella!  LOVED seeing the pics!!  Oh and we heard about a FB page for adoptive families and we got to see a video of our lil man Keegan!  Oh how God knew I needed to see that!  PLUS we've been getting some pics of of him from another family that is adopting a child from the same floor he is on..  In each and every one of those pics, he's smiling soooo big!!!!  :)  Praying that the adjustment for him goes smoothly, and am a little worried about Ella and adjustment...  I really shouldn't say worried, b/c I trust God, but since she is in Foster Care and more one on one care...  it may be harder for her...  But it's all in God’s hands and I know we will take a day at a time!  :)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
