The kids update

I have not been able to post due to Dan's surgery and then our computer breaking down. ??? So, I have lots of updates.

Joshua- His foot has healed from the toothpick incident very well. He did so well with all that. What a big boy! I am losing my baby.... boo hoo. He is turning out to be a fine young man and we are so proud of him.

Kayleb- He is doing great. We have taken him off of some of his med's and changed some of the others to see how he would respond. He is SOOO into hunting this year. It is too cute. He went out with daddy before surgery to deer and squirrel hunt. You would have thought we gave him a million dollars.

J'Dyn- She is doing great and has relaxed on trying to be the mother. That is very hard for her and I am proud that she is tryiing so hard. She is loving playing dress up and dolls with her sisters. They get into their little tiffs but are working on "working it out."

Mari'An- She is a huge helper around the house. She loves to sweep and clean the table. She says she cooked at the orphanage but I do not feel comfy with her helping with hot stuff or throwing her a knife just yet. She is a joy!

Luke- He is doing better with his English but still relies on Mari'an for help with words. I see them speaking more English to each other which is great. He is shy and very quiet. He loves playing outside and riding his bike. We had a new swing set built as the last one was on its last leg. He has so much fun on the stuff.

Amelia-She has been doing so well. She is smiley. loving, friendly and just a good girl. I thought she would be my problem child as she threw fits ALL the time. She came out of that and is doing very well. She always has to have some toy in her hand.

Nadia- She continues to be our little THUNDER girl. She mimics everything we do and is as smart as a whip. We are waiting to potty train her until things calm down around here. She can do it, we just need to give her a bit of encouragement. She is sweet and so loving!! Cute as a bug.

Mommy- Tired these days.
Daddy- Wants to be well

WE are so blessed to have these precious kids in our life. We hope we can raise them in such a way that they will know Jesus and rely on Him for their life. He is our only hope in this world. It is a scary world out there.
