SHOCK~N~AWE #2

This is my personal Shock~n~ Awe....
We knew it was coming, but really, did it all have to come at the same time??
BRACES! On No!! I need a stimulus package, NOW! The girls were at Dr. Singer's office in Coral Springs this morning and everyone will be getting braces this summer. Ryan is getting his in 2 weeks. We LOVE Dr. Singer. He was Wendy's orthodontist 30 years ago and she has the most beautiful teeth I have ever seen. He is also the cleft orthodontist and an amazing painter!
Mickey Mouse, we may not see you until next year sometime. Actually, I can guarantee we won't be visiting The Mouse for a very long time :(
I'm off to Publix, grocery shopping for this crew is another financial adventure!
This might be a good time to start buying lottery tickets!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~~~


HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY

MOLLY GRACE

You're a Teenager!

{{SHOCK~N~AWE}} # 1

I'M LEAVING FOR CHINA IN 4 WEEKS!!

WILL BE ALL OURS
MAY 24TH!

Monday, April 19, 2010

We're still waiting for our China travel info. Our requested CA (Consulate Appointment) was booked so our agency is trying for a later week. We're sorry we won't have Little Dumpling by May 10, as originally planned, but it's all in GOD' s timing. We have trusted HIM every step of this adoption and HE knows best. Right now it looks like travel will be around May 21. I'll keep you all posted.

It all Started with a Mouse is correct...

Mike's family has called him MICKEY since the day he was born.
It sure did start with a MOUSE :)

TA TA TA TA TA

Did y'all not "get" yesterday's post?

Was I too subtle?

I'M GOIN' TO CHINA!!!!


I wasn't expecting to leave for 5 weeks.

Now I may be leaving in less than 3.

I have so much to do.

Making lists, shopping, packing.

And "Little Dumpling" needs a NAME!

Daddy came home early today

He has an ortho appointment soon. He fell over some toys on the patio a few months ago and thought he broke his knee. Went to the ER and they said No, so he went home, hobbled around a few weeks and forgot about it. Didn't forget about the HUGE lump in his thigh though. He saw his primary the other day and mentioned it to him. HA! The primary said "You need surgery NOW!" Something about ligaments/tendons that snapped off the knee and are now curled up in a ball at the top of his thigh. Anyhow, today he sees the surgeon, but in the meantime, he took the 4 littles to TARGET, Austin is getting a Bionicle for being such a good boy, and Ryan is getting one too. He told the girls they could go along, but they got Ariel Mermaid dolls last week and weren't getting anything today, after all, the boys didn't complain when they didn't get anything, so don't ask.
Who thinks the girl will come home with something too?
OOPS, I spoke too soon, the girls came home happy and empty handed. MAybe they're growing up? na, I don't think so, Mike was just lucky today!

Have I mentioned lately...

How much FUN Mike and I are having raising our second set of babies? Well, we are having the time of our lives watching these children experience life! Oh how GOD has blessed us. And it's just going to get better and better....

Guess who went to The KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
