Lots of things.....

Thanks to everyone for the comments. You make life here go by faster. I have lots of stuff to tell so here it goes:
* Kayleb and J'Dyn- Mommy loved to talk with you last night. Daddy and Mommy miss you so much and cannot wait for our hugs and kisses at the airport. I am glad you are keeping grandpa - PETE and Grandma busy. :) Sounds like you are having a great time. Only a few more days and we can be together. YEH!
* Our flights have been reinstated. The travel agent has no idea why they were cancelled. Thanks for the prayers- it is a mystery. But, not for the Lord.
* I cannot upload pictures. SORRY! They have dial up and I barely have service to blog. So you will have to wait for the airport or until we get home. :) They are as cute as can be.
* The kids are doing very well. They like to play with Playdo and all their toys in the bags we brought. They are trying to speak English and it is funny to hear them.
* Abdurhman's name is officially Luke. Yes, we have changed it again. The boys wanted it Luke and we were waiting to surprise them. When Ab looked in the mirror today, I said,"Who is that?" He said, Mommy and Luke. CUTE!!!!!!!
* Abdur sleeps with his head covered up. Just like KAYLEB! He reminds me of K so much. Kayleb, you have to teach him all about the Deere. :) Love you
* J'Dyn - Karima loves her picture and says, "My sista, Jdyn." and then kisses it.
* Nadia can pee on the potty. YEH! I told her to go pee pee and she looked at me funny. Come to find out pee pee means car. I guess that would be confusing as she is sitting on the pot. :)
* Dan and I are doing fine. There is a lot of just sitting around waiting. Playing with the kids has been great.
* Neima was sad today because I took the camera from her. She is such a good girl. She is very lovable.
* Prayers needed for Nadia. Just found out they spelled her name wrong in a court document. the courts are closed for 2 weeks. We hope the Embassy finds favor and approves. Prayers please.

Thanks for all the updates, comments, and prayers. This is an amazing trip! We are very blessed.

  6. Gosh Cyndee it's amazing how great the kiddo's are doing! They don't seem shy, scared or anything! It seems like they were just waiting for you! They are so blessed to have such wonderful parents! Their life will be so different! I can't wait to hear about the country! I'm sure you will have many stories to share! Is your little guy still wanting to be in the ministry? Glad to see everything is going well; will continue to pray that you are home on schedule! Enjoy your amazing journey!

  7. Hi kids-how did they spell Nadia? Many want to know about your living and food conditions...I think it comes from your history and background Ms Cyndee Lou:) So glad we got through last night-dad is supposed to be trying early today so that all of you are awake. We want to get something for each child when they return...any suggestions? Kayleb and J'Dyn can't wait to go shopping. We so enjoy having them with us; but will feel totally at peace when you step off the plane:) I know you will too. Love and as always God Bless all of you in everything you do. Love mom

  8. Dan & Cyn,

    Just talked to your dad and he filled me in...I am praying!!! I will pass the word for prayers. Your faith is amazing--just keep trusting. You know the Evil One is trying to break that faith and he will not succeed!

    Love,
    Andrea
