Keegan

We aren't going to Keegan's orphanage which is good and bad. I kind of am glad and disappointed...

Good news is I was watching Keegan interact with the director and it all seemed good! Now I am no doctor but I can tell when a kid is not comfortable or feels they are in danger when around an adult.

The director was def interacting with him, playing and he seemed as if it was an everyday thing for him! Whew!!!

We never got any pics of him and his care package which also had us worried a little, just hearing different things about his orphanage... But it's all good! He came to us with his two outfits, toys and a disposable camera! So am very anxious to get those developed! He also took our emails and said he would email us LOTS more pictures! So am pretty excited to see those as well.

Now, not gonna lie, and I don't want this taken the wrong way... Because I somewhat expected some of this by looking at his picture...

His referral wasn't 100% accurate... Of course Ella's wasn't either, they said she was shy and timid, bahaha!!! That's funny!!! She was also said to
Be very quiet! Again, VERY funny!!! She's def a little 3 yr old girl! She cries to try to get what she wants, which doesn't work, she is getting better this evening, but a little jealous of Keegan. But we've treated her the same and everything! :)

Now back to Keegan... His right foot, I don't want to say its club, but it isn't straight.. I'm thinking a brace would help take care of it? Also, he is a little slow, but like Ella, a fast learner!! He catches on pretty quick! He's a little slower than her in dressing and things like that. But again, it's all good! I love him just as much! He's a precious lil man and I can't picture my life without him, or Ella!!! I'm so very thankful that God has brought these two kids in my life!! I can NOT wait to get home!!

The paperwork was the same, but yet different. We had to go to the adoption office today to sign papers and be interviewed by the officer... Then more signing with our fingerprints, then onto the notary office to be asked the same
Questions as the officer... Oh, a gift to the officer and then the notary...

It took less than 2 hours! That's the time it took to get there too! Which took about 30 minutes from our hotel! So it's completely different than Ella's province, but all good! :)

Panda World tomorrow!! :)

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...

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 ke...
