Wednesday, September 12th

Today is Skylars 6th birthday!!! Feel bad for not being there but just got done face timing her! :) she seems ok and knew right away that we wouldn't be there! She is such a trooper!!! So proud of her!!!

Can't believe she is SIX!!! Crazy!!!!

I can't remember the name of the place we went to today... It was something like seven this and 2 that...? It had
Villages in the name too... I know, I'm HORRIBLE at remembering names of the places we go too!! :/

Tomorrow we are going to the largest Buddhists temple in this province.

Then we fly out of here Friday. I'm not sure of the time...

Also, I guess a typhoon was supposed to hit, but it didn't. We are fine! :) it was atleast 90d today, pretty hot! But after the kids naps we went across the street and ventured around a bit more. there was a nice breeze... Behind the mall and across the street there are flowers and fish for sale, Penny's words... There are all types of jade and Buddhists things for sale as well...

We also now know for sure that Keegan is deathly afraid of dogs! He kinda freaked out a bit at the pandas but it wasn't bad and we just figure it was bc they are so big... But just passing a TINY pup he would grab your hand and move himself away from the dog! This little puppy was jumping at Ella's heels and she was laughing at it while XJ was flipping out and making noises like he did NOT like it! Poor boy! We think and wonder if he got attacked or bit by one...? Just his fear and the way he reacts... Fish and turtles he is ok with... Which is good since we have Mr Sinker...

Oh, walking down the street I see out of the corner of my eye something gold jumping out of the tank! Here a little goldfish completely FLEW through the air and was flopping all around on the ground! I start busting out laughing! Never seen that before!!! ;) but then again, those tanks were PACKED!!!

I swear these two can hear each other! One makes a noise and then the other makes one! One tattles and then 5 minutes later the other one is tattling!! They are siblings for sure!!! :) Ella still tries using tears every so often but it's not working so she really isn't doing that as much!

XJ is def completely deaf but Ella does hear every so often! In that village we visited there was a music store and a guy was playing an interesting type of flute... I think she heard it a little bc she was watching him and do very silent... Which is odd... She watches but not silently! ;) also, her noises she tries to make words, or atleast it sounds like she is trying. XJ makes noises, you can tell he can't hear... Not complaining, or comparing... Just things I'm noticing as the days go on! Still love them both just as much! :)

They both have been taking naps during the day which is great!

Tomorrow we also get our notary papers and will look over them to make sure they are correct! Praying his
Passport is ready by the time we need to leave Friday! :)
(picture, snack time in the window seat.. An orange and number crackers.. Just like animal crackers..)

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...
