Luke- After a bath one evening, he went to get his pj's on . He runs back into the bath with a HUGE smile. He says, "Mommy. Me pajama - spiderman." "I like I like I like." Then he runs over shoves his head into my armpit and gives me the biggest hug imaginable. WOW!!!! OVer hand-me-down spiderman pj's. I love that kid. He is so wonderful. Puts life into perspective.
Kayleb - While on the mower with me, I explained that Christmas this year was not going to be as BIG as other years. With daddy sick, getting the kids, and med bills with the new kids, we do not have the money we had in years past. We are fine but just do not have the over abundance of the past. Anyway, his response was, "That is fine. Christmas is not about presents. It is much better to have brothers and sisters than gifts. We will all share and it will be fine. " Gotta love that kid too! What a heart. Thank you Jesus for that. "Love is not selfish..." 1 Corinthians
The new 4 - They will eat spaghetti with their hands but a breadstick with a fork. Go figure???
Nadia- "My mommy" Melts my heart.
Joshua- He cracks me up whenever he talks with the 4. He talks in broken English, they speak back in Amharic, and then he tells us in good English what they said. We laugh! He just loves those kiddos.
J'Dyn - She is doing much better on not being a mother hen. We are so proud of her. This is a tough one but she is getting there.
Mari'an- She is doing great with her English. At the table the other evening, she said, "Zip the lip and eat. " Too funny!
Amelia - She is doing great! Her smile warms a room and her silliness makes us laugh. She puts her hands on her hips and says, "What's up girl.' It is just plain funny.
We are so blessed with all our children. I cannot believe that I am saying having 7 is not so bad, but I am . They are too cute!
