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! :)

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...
