Yay! The kids slept in a little bit!!! :)

We went to Shemian (sp?) Island today. Not really an island. ;)

We got to sit in on a church service but then time wise we had to leave to eat and then meet our guide again. We walked around and some guy came up and handed us all a little pamphlet and then we stood outside the church. Curt put our two bags we had on the ground and we were standing there and all of a sudden a women came over and grabbed our bags and motioned for us to follow her. Curt and I look at her like uh ok. He kept up with her and I was walking slower bc I had the kids! :) I was like oh no, if she is taking us a back way to the front of the church we are doomed! But we were in a building right next to the church that was "overflow" seating. Only a few people were sleeping... ;) but it was neat to see all the people there! It was mandarin and then someone was translating it in English. They had two services in the morning and one at night.

So we had to get up and leave after a while, plus we could see the kids were about ready to start a fight so we left before it happened!! Haha... They both Wanted to be on Curts lap and neither one of them was going to let the other win... So, time to leave... Plus we has to find someplace to eat and then meet Wensi at 1:30. We ended up at Subway. Which, the kids don't like. Atleast Ella ate the meat, but that was it! They came over to our spot and thought we were going to give them chips! We didn't bc they didn't eat, plus we are saving them for us for a snack tonight! :)

On the way to eat someone came up to us and said come to my shop it's right down here. We said maybe in a minute we need to eat. We decided to go back and actually glad we did! It's a couple with a little boy and they "know God", as she said. She held up her cross necklace and said we go to church right there. Which was the one we were at! :) curt got an instrument called a Calabash flute. The guy makes them! It's beautiful!!! Has a beautiful sound! We also bought this dudes cd! :) got a few other things and then she said ok you can pick out free necklace or bracelet, so I got a bracelet! :) she said thank you, you good customers! Their English was really good... Praying for this couple and boy that God continue to bless them!

Then back to the hotel... The kids are napping. Ella finally fell asleep! :)

Going to pearl market tomorrow after they get checked for their tb test. Wensi said I'm sure they will pass... :)

Did one last "load" of hand washing. I'm so OVER that!!! :) Thank you Jesus for washing machines and the fact I wasn't born before washing machines!!! :) hang drying, no problem I don't mind, but hand washing? No thank you! :)))

Not sure what we are going for supper...? Not sure where we will venture out too?

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...

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...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
