Day 5- Orphanage Visit

-

Today has been a long day of traveling!   We are actually still in the van driving back to the hotel as I’m typing. But today has been completely beautiful.   After a four hour drive on a highway that is under construction and the speed limit is only 45 mph…..yes only 45mph….we made it the Weifang Orphanage.    Theo jumped out of the car and ran to the orphanage director’s arms (he called her something mama).   It was just so amazing watching her and everyone else hug and want to be with our son.   Theodore was so proud to take us around his home of the last four and a half years.   He pulled me from room to room and talked so fast to everyone.   I have no idea what he was saying, but he sure was happy.   Every once in a while, he would exclaim, “Mama” and run for me to hold him.   Be still my heart!    Then something so sweet happened.    He was sitting in ...

Farewell Dear Pop-Up

Farewell dear pop-up, you will be missed. We had so many wonderful times with you. Your scent was always a comfort to us after a stressfull week at work. Your roof kept us mostly dry in rainy times in the woods. Your stove gave us gormet spegettii and who could forget the hot chocolate every night. We played hours of card games sitting at your table (which I won most of...don't tell Jeff). Your beds gave us and many guests a soft but supported place to lay our heads and the electricity that ran though you was much appreciated when we needed to run the heater. We spent what felt like decades outside your door relaxing by a warm fire; a fire that gave us smores and biscuts on a stick and coutless other campfire goodies. We could say so many more amazing things that you gave us, but like the "Giving Tree" the last thing you gave us was yourself. We sold you, I'm sorry, but you gave us your all and it will not be forgotten when we celebrate in the mall!

5th week...

Yes I know I haven't posted anything in a while and I've already skipped one Holiday and it's almost the next one already. We have been battling colds for 5 plus weeks now. Two and a half weeks ago we found out the boys have ear infections. Monday I took them back to the doc because Coop had a fever...found out they still have the ear infections. We have now started them on their second round of antibiotics. Cooper's fever has still not gone away and Max woke up this morning with a fever and the chills. So I called Jeff at work and asked him if he could help me take the kids back to the doc. (2nd time in 3 days). He is wonderful, so after working only one hour he drove home to help us all out. Two and a half hours at the doc's office later we found out the boys also have the flu on top of their ear infections. Our kitchen counter is beginning to look like a pharmacy. They will feel better soon...they have to. Right at this very moment all 3 of my men are n...
