It's time to sit back and rejoice in the many blessings God has given us. It's time to sit back and enjoy God's plan for our family and accept whatever the future holds with delight and faithfulness.
Although we are heartbroken for our little girl who will continue to live in an orphanage in Vietnam, we take comfort in the fact that we have done everything within our power to bring her home. We have left NO stone unturned trying to get her home. We have been in private contact with government officials in the USA and Vietnam. We have prayed unceasingly for this child and will continue to do so. When 2 governments clash, it's the people who suffer, and in this case, it's the orphaned children of Vietnam who are the innocent victims. We pray the "Powers that Be" will realize this and do the right thing for the children of Vietnam.

ARLINGTON TEXAS

I used to live there!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEWS FOR ME


My sister is moving back to FLORIDA!!! Her husband has been transferred back from Texas, and this time she will be here on the East Coast. I'm so excited to be able to see her again! She's my baby sister and my "Disney Buddy". Tia has 10 kiddos, 5 bio and 5 adopted, 2 China, 2 VN and 1 dom. Sorta like me. She had lived on the west coast and we would both leave our hubbies home to work and meet at MICKEY"S HOUSE with all the kids. Well, we didn't have ALL the kids at the time. We had such great times. we would stay at the Polynesian, and have a blast. I think the Polynesian may be out of our budgets for awhile, Thanks to this Depression OOPS, I meant REcession, but we'll still have a great time at the POP Century!! Meg loves the free ICCEE machine there.

OIY VEY IS ME!!!!

Who's been to the orthodontist lately? I HAVE!!! OIY VEY! 3 kid needing "bracelets" as Meg calls them and I NEED A BAILOUT! Hey! There's no $$ at my house, OR in America! But I know where all the $$ is...It's at the Ortho's office!! I hear Congress is giving out lots of $$, I think I'll give them a call.
Really though, I took Ryan to Dr. S yesterday. He was Wendy's ortho 20 years ago and she has the most beautiful teeth. So, I was happy to see his office has moved from Oakland Park to a quarter mile from my house!! AND I found out he was the first and only CLEFT ortho in Broward county for many years ( there is another one here now too). So, we had a consult yesterday after school. He will wait 6 months and recheck him, then start widening his palate. We're waiting for molars to come in. Ryan is 6. This morning Ryan had a visit with his cleft surgeon Dr S. yes, both are Dr. S. and we were told ortho Dr S had already called and he is now the lead MD in charge of Ryan's mouth. WOW, How did I get so lucky as to using the right ortho 20 years ago? We all know it wasn't luck. It was all God's plan..WOW! HE really thinks ahead doesn't He? :) Only joking God....
The $$$$, OH, the $$$$. Not only will Ryan be starting ortho care by the end of the year, but Misses Meg and Molly will be starting NOW! YIKES! I should have put "STRAIGHT TEETH" in my Home Study! Let's not even THINK about the babies! The little girls have underbites already!!
Sadley, if our Vietnam adoption disolves in a heap, and it's looking like it's just about gone now, you all know where my travel $$ will be going...and it won't be at MICKEY'S HOUSE :(
