Asleep In The Light

Keith Green has to be one of my favorite Christian Artists of all time. Yes, I admit, I still love to listen to 70's and 80's music, actually that's probably most of what I listen to. And to top it off, I love to listen to it on my record player...I think I was born in the wrong era!

This song, Asleep in the Light, still brings me to tears every time I listen to it. The words are so convicting, I can't help but listen to it, and immediately pray that God can use me to share Christ with others. I just finished listening to one his records for the um-teenth time this week- so I thought I would share it with you all!

New Schedules...

Sorry for the lack of posting lately...Our lives are crazy! So much has changed for us in the past couple months. I'm hoping we get use to the new routine soon! Some new things in our lives are....

*Josiah is going to school two mornings a week
*We opened a new business here in Morton (mortonrentals.com)
*We are working with Wyldlife again (Jr. high youth group)
*I work at church on Wednesday nights with 2 and 3 year olds.
*Josiah will be starting hockey in a few weeks

And I'm sure there are other random things here and there, but those are the newest additions.

As far as our adoption goes...well you can just about imagine how much extra time we have to do paperwork! We are hoping to get our dossier sent out within the month, which would be great so our agency can start translating it into French and ready to send over to the DRC.

One new thing for our adoption is that now people can make a tax-deductable donation to us to help cover some our adoption costs. I just want to make it clear that we are not asking for money, but there has been a few people who have asked about it, so we went ahead and got an agency to partner with us and set up an account for us. All the info is to the left of the screen, or if anyone has any questions, please ask me!!

I really hope I can have some more news about our adoption soon!! I can't wait for our paperwork to get done, so we can get on a wait list as soon as possible!! But I am trying to just trust the Lord, and remember that his timing is perfect!

Sibling Love

 My babies are 4 and 2! I can't believe it!

 Sy tries to kiss his sister....

...She wants nothing to do with it!

Josiah and Novea's Birthday

The best part about the the kid's birthdays being so close is:

Only having 1 cake!!!

I'm sure she covered the cake in spit :) 

It was SO hot outside, we were all sweating, but the kids had fun anyway! 

We are so thankful to all of our family who care so much about our kids!

We love you guys! 

Pizza Mania

If anyone knows me well, they know that I am a sucker for children's books, puzzles, games, or anything else they sell at Barnes and Noble or The School House. With all this non-summer like weather we have been having I thought it would be fun to go find some new new stuff to do inside, and of course I found a couple things :) One thing I found is this game and I love it so much I'm actually going to blog about it! It's called Pizza Mania, and it is pre-k age game learning the basics of math. Each kid gets their own pizza crust with four different toppings, and they have to listen to what the chef tells them to do. For example add two peppers, or take away one mushroom and so on. Sy and his friend Olivia LOVED it!! Novea, just wanted to make pizza, and it's great for that too :)

Khaki Kangaroos
