WHAT FUN!!

We had the chance t0 work at the Steven Curtis Chapman/Michael W. Smith/Geoff Moore concert. WHAT FUN!! Great concert and the girls had a blast passing out folders for Show Hope sponsorships. Great way to help children on a monthly basis at just $35.00 a month. On top of hearing the music we were able to meet Mr. Chapman and Mr. Moore and actually the girls spent a little time talking with Geoff Moore. What a truly nice guy!!! I loved their music and hearts before but now even more!!

enjoy the pictures,

Easter day and 1 month











Well we have been home with Bella 1 month... actually a few days longer as I type this. She continues to do wonderful and is such a happy, smart, helpful, giggly little girl. She loves her family, church, teacher, the dentist (tea stains are all gone) and really anyone that she meets. She is so full of love.




Days are very busy with homeschool, work, meals and playing but wanted to share just a few picts of Easter Day.

"I Love you THAAAREE"

April 4 - home 3 weeks
Oh we are sure having fun with Isabella and she is having such good days!

She loves to tell us she loves us when we leave or come home or just any ol’ time. Well she started saying “I love you too” after we tell her (about 100 times a day) and tonight it became “I love you tharee” which is three!! I never thought about her thinking “I Love you too” in her mind was NUMBER 2 but that must be how she thought of it. Too funny. NOW along with the girls we hear “I love you 100, I love you a million” etc and etc.

She met with her new Chinese Teacher whom she LOVES last week. She will be coming to our home to do school with all the girls including Stacys 3 girls. We will all be learning more Chinese and Isabella & Keira should be able to retain what they already know.

We also went to church last Sunday and are planning on it tomorrow - Palm Sunday. Isabella did really well. We sat upstairs is order to have a little more “grace” incase things got a little loud with her but she really did wonderful. She about jumped out of her seat when she heard Pastor praying for her and thought that was really funny. She also went down with the girls to listen to the Pastor give a children’s sermon. She sat so good and is just really taking it all in. She can’t wait to sing up front tomorrow “He is the king of kings” and wave her palm branch. Yes, say a little prayer for that but I’m sure Chloe & Caillie will keep her in line.

So all in all, everything is going wonderful. She is finding her boundaries, learning so much English, doing well in our school and loving being outside and just playing with the girls. She is not liking the cold weather but hey, we ALL are ready for some warm days. Keira and Isabella talk on the phone often and see each other weekly. They both continue to get easier everyday and are blending into their families wonderful. Lily FINALLY has a sister that loves to play dolls - life is good!!
