UPDATE!!!!

It's been a crazy few weeks!

I posted that Kotah broke her elbow...  she broke the bone that typically isn't broken!  Way to go my dear!!!  :)  If you are gonna break a bone, go ahead and break the one that isn't normally broken!  :) (I'm saying it in a teasing tone!  I'm so grateful and thankful she is ok!!!  :))

We went in for a check up (x-rays) to make sure bone was healing the way it is supposed to.  Got to see a better pic this time and he showed where it's broken...  Yep, it def is!  :\  BUT the good news, this bone has more fat on it than the other bones, the fat leaves you after a certain age, so for kids, it's a good bone to break b/c it heals very nicely!  YEAH!  :)  He said  I don't see us needing to do surgery.  Come back next week, not until AFTER Tuesday, b/c I can't take it off sooner, sorry sweetie, but we will take it off, do more x-rays and go from there...

Kotah heard the first time we were there, last week, that she would need the cast for atleast 3 weeks, so she is like, are they going to have to put another cast on?  Will my bone be ok, will it be healed?  What are they going to do mom?  can I keep the cast for a bit after they take it off?

Oh my daughter!!!  ;)  I said, he's the doc, he knows what he is doing sweetie!  We will find out more when we go.  So her next appointment is Friday, Aug 10th!  So for her birthday she prob won't have a cast!  :D 

I signed up to be a secret pal with the adoption FB group we are apart of...  I got a package today!  LOVE everything in it!  :)

I posted a pic on the group wall and then on my page as well... A friend asked when we were going to get XJ and E and i said Sept...  Then I hit enter to send the comment, then I realized that it's basically Aug 1 now...  Which means Sept is ONLY A MONTH away!!!!!!  REALLY!!!! 

Then I had another friend ask if we really were going to travel then, and I said, yes, that's what they told us, sometime in Sept, the beginning to middle!!!  Can you believe it???

There is light at the end of the tunnel!  It seriously just HIT me.  I mean, yeah you say you are traveling then, and we don't have the official date yet, but that's when it looks like it would be...  They told us that a few times....  But it REALLY SUNK in....!!!!!!!!!!!  My babies are coming home and SOON!!  Soon they will have their forever family!!!  <3

I can't believe it!  God has blessed us so much!  Yes, we still need money, LOTS of it, but I'm not worried!  I know that God has a plan and it's perfect!  it most likely will be last minute too, but i trust Him!  He has brought us through this whole process!  I thank Him for His peace and calmness that He's given me through all this!

We should have a date within the next 2 weeks...  I think...  ;)  God has it all under control and for that I am so very thankful!!

I'm going to enclose a link to a friend of mine who is adopting a deaf boy as well...  He is 9...
They are selling Goat Milk Soap.  It's $6 for a bar and they get $3 for every bar sold... If you don't want it for yourself, you can have it sent to me!  ;)  Teasing...  They would make a GREAT gift, just for a thank you to someone, or a teacher, or just becasue...  Buy some soap and help this family bring their lil man home!!!

Thank you for your prayers!  Truly appreciate them!  And they are felt!  Can't believe this journey to bring XJ and E is almost done!!!  :)

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...
