Time To Play Catch Up ...



Please continue to pray for the Wheelers. They are building a Faith Team to pray with them and encourage them on this journey. They are asking for a miracle and we should all do the same for them and Xio.

Special Thanks to Laura Nipper, Jennifer (baseballstobows.blogspot), and Nikki Doctor for their sweet gifts to Maggie. I haven't had time to take pictures of them, but Laura sent a sweet coat and gifts for the orphanage, Jennifer sent the ultimate Dora Doll that speaks in 5 different languages (one being Chinese of course)and things for the orphanage, and Nikki sent gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods for my double jogging stroller. I can't wait to push my two princesses around in it ...

We will be starting basketball practice in November, so things will get very hectic, so please pray that as our travel comes in that everything will fall into place with the children while I am gone and Scott has basketball.




We have so enjoyed our Saturday morning Flag Football games ... Here is Jeremiah giving us a look at the future (He is in Texas Jersey) ... I love this young man .. I can still remember his first cry in delivery room. He is sweet, kind, honest, competitive, athletic, handsome, and loves his mama !!!! He is worried that people will make fun and stare at Maggie's head. I told them they would be we would just handle it. He then ask what do we do if a stranger tries to touch her boo boo. In my best mama bear voice I said, "We punch them in the stomach." If you have any other suggestions I will listen ... LOL...

This picture occurred the night we found out about our LOA for Maggie. Emily must have heard me on the phone all day telling people that I was getting my suitcase down. She said, "I ready for trip, but I not go to China.. I go to school." She is one smart little lady bug ...

15 kind words.:

Emily is so sweet. I needed a smile this morning, and her picture provided it. Am I understanding it right? Are you going to China by yourself?
