WoW! ONe more week gone

I cannot believe that another week has flown by. There have been so many things that have happened; where do I start.
* All of the kids went to get their teeth cleaned. Mari'An had her final dental visit with one tooth extraction. Her mouth looks fantastic and she is excited about it too. YEH! Amelia has 5 cavitites that need to be filled but the others are good. We are so thankful for our dentist!
* Mari'An and Nadia went to the doctor and got their vaccinations. OH MY!!! It was not pretty but a necessity. That evening, I got Nadia out of her high chair and she had this crazy look on her face, grabbed her legs and said "OOOOOOHHHHHHHH" No translation needed, they hurt.
* Luke is such a cute little guy. He is not learning much English- just repeats stuff. He relies on his sister to translate. He is doing great!!!
* Amelia is completely over her screaming tantrums for not getting what she wants. She has succumbed to a pouty whimper. Mommy can handle that. She is learning the right way to take things from her sib's. Much progress in her. She is as cute as ever. She walks around shakes her hips and says, "What's up girl!" Cracks us up.
* Mari'an is so precious. She is opening up and trying to share about her home city and orphanage - SHe she mane We have been able to catch on to a few things. She says Afric mommy...... I cannot wait to be able to hear about her life and share that wonderful part with her. I hope I did a good job about telling her how wonderful her mommy in Africa was to her.
* Nadia is a cuddler, lovey, and kissy. She has an amazing personality that she can turn off like a light switch. She had an ear infection and is on antibiotics. Takes the med like a pro.
* Prayers are needed for sickness to stay away from us. For what the kids have to go away. For all to get well!
* Prayers for the language. They are doing great considering they know very little English. But, they are really trying. Life will get much easier for them once they pick up on more.
* Grandma Sharon and PaPa David where down this week. They were amazing help as we had so much going on. The laundray was done, the dishes were picked up and the house was cleaned. WOW!! We are SOO thankful for their help and willingness to come down to work their butts off. :)
* Prayers for Daddy. Tests came back this week as they are trying to find a cause for his high blood pressure. There are some abnormal issues that need to be looked into. Prayers for positive results.

Blessings to all
