Ramblings

So I had a bit of a breaking point yesterday...
Just a lot of emotions. It caught up to me.
Went for a walk yesterday and passed a woman that had a look on her face. Not one we've seen yet. She's was from country, or poor, or both, I dunno. Her clothes were different than everyone else, she has the basket on her back. Both Curt and I thought the look she gave us was one of, is she mine? She didn't give that look to anyone else either.
We've gotten looks, but not like this one.
Just watching her and Curt play around and I started to cry a little.
How could anyone get rid of a little girl as beautiful as her just because she can't hear? Seriously? It breaks my heart! She's SMART and catches on very quickly! ;)
But Curt said sometimes they have to, they don't have a choice.
I'm ready to get Keegan and come home. Show them their room, their toys and their family.
There were a few families in Beijing that had more than one child, but not very many.
I've seen a sad look on all the pregnant ladies faces here where we are, and I've passed quite a few.

We are now officially a family of 5, VERY soon to be 6!!!! Seems so odd to think we just "bought a kid". Can't quite wrap my brain around that fully. But she is loved just like my other 4! :)

So those are my ramblings for now! :)

Today we leave at 2 for the park, which I'm pretty sure is the wild monkey park!
But this morning we will walk down the street to see if we can find a kids clothing store and buy her some undies and socks! :)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!

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&
