So....6 months of having our paperwork in Ethiopia. The cravings have kicked in. The weird dreams have officially started. The pounds are creeping on. They don't call it paper-pregnancy for nothing! So, I've just been marinating this month (like a Thanksgiving turkey) in God's good promises. I've been learning alot about the life and ministry of George Mueller. I've been collecting girls clothes. (Thanks friends!) I've been attending Thanksgiving feasts and homeschool groups. I've visited with family from far faraway. It has been a good month of waiting, we are experiencing "the tree of life" stage (Proverbs 13.12). JP lost his first top tooth. He says it helps him whistle better. T is happy hiding or causing much mischief stating, "you felt it in the old trick!" No matter how many times we laugh and tell him its "you FELL for the old trick" he insists in saying it his way. Also overheard this morning around 6.15am...christopher softly calling "daddy!" (repeat about 6 times). JP encourages him, suggesting he call for mommy instead, since Dad was not making an appearance. T replied, "BECAUSE...Mommy does not get out of bed while it is still dark." True. True. We still have not named our little girl, so if ya wanna make suggestions, then do so in the comment:)
Sweet! I love your stories!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog's fancy new look, but I love your entries even more. I love the "felt it in the old trick!"
ReplyDeleteSo what kind of girl names have you come up with so far...so I know the kinds to suggest ;)
I just thought of something else :) I was talking to my sister-in-law and a lot of her friends have adopted so I was telling her your garage sale idea (which I still thing is GREAT...so let me know when to clean out the closets...) and she was saying that some of them have had t-shirts printed up with just a small logo on the chest that has some type of meaning about the country they are adopting from, etc. They sell them for about $20-25 a shirt, which may sound high, but I would totally buy something like that. I'm always looking for cute new t's to wear around the house/town whatever. Plus, since you are married to a great designer the logo thing should be a breeeeeze! (sorry Dean) Anyway, that may be a dumb idea, but I thought I would just toss it out there.
ReplyDeleteummm....THINK is great...not "thing" is great
ReplyDeleteok, so as for the name suggestions...we like classic names (think jane austen), biblical names, southern, oh, and double-names...just for fun, no cash prizes will be awarded to the winner (but we may use the name)!
