You can wear your bathrobe over your clothes and it really does feel like you are walking around with a blanket. It may not be below freezing in our house like it has been for the last several days outside....the lows have been 0 degrees and below!...but it sure doesn't feel warm either! :)
When you leave it to your kids to decorate their own cookie, they put WAY more sprinkles on it than you ever would!:)
I will no longer be making up the bunk beds anymore! Minus a little help with the fitted sheet Micah, Samuel, Grace and Faith put all the sheets and duvets on the bed after I washed them! Way to go kids!
When you are sending away for certified copies of your birth certificates and marriage certificates for your adoption dossier...just get a few more...it will be worth the money! I need them again in order to apply for the boys citizenship!
Titus has fully embraced our adoption and more! Today, he asked to speak to me "in private" and told me that he loves his Ethiopian brother, Caleb, and he is his best friend and he thanked me for adopting him!!!! It was precious!!!!
Then, tonight, he brought me money that he was going to put in his piggy bank and told me that he wanted the money to go towards our next adoption!:) No prompting, honest!:) Boy, did he bless my socks off today!
There is no greater joy than sharing the gospel with my kids...and it was extra special because it was Samuel who asked about going to heaven and not wanting to go to hell! And, he too, just warmed my heart by asking me for his Bible story Bible this morning so that he could do his Bible Study! He sits there and diligently copies words down on a piece of paper...precious!
Reading through the Bible is such a blessing. And today, I read a cool verse in Hosea 14:3, "In You the orphan finds mercy".
Friends who love Jesus are just beautiful...and friends who pray for you and give you Biblical words of encouragement are just priceless...and I was blessed to have some priceless moments today and some wonderful words to meditate on...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence for my hope is from Him. Trust in Him at all times, O people, pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."
Psalm 62:5,8

I think making bunk beds is the worst job in my house. I too, still have to help with the fitted sheet and they do the rest.
I love how helpful the girls are. They are actually offended if I say no when they ask to do something for me. :-)
It also blesses my heart to see Him working in your children's lives! Thanks for sharing!
I love that Samuel asked for his Bible, and that Titus wants to help fund the next adoption! Precious!
Oh and I was CRACKING up because I kid u not, I have my robe on over my clothes now! Ha ha ha!! It's not been as stinking cold as it's been up there, but we did get snow the other day in Antioch!! I was sad it passed us over, but it's been below freezing everynight here too! K J comes in everyday from playing saying his hands are getting frostbite, kinda funny!
Love the idea about the kids putting their shhets on! PAIN IN THE BUTT! I think I'll give it a whirl :)
Loved catching up! Oh And that verse is ssooooo precious!
