Today I...

  • Am waiting...still.  But choosing to count my blessings instead of whining. Really!
  • Have heard rumors of delivery of some shipments in the next few days...but not putting too much hope in a speedy or timely arrival. (Things take longer than they take, you know.)
  • Had coffee with the other expat ladies living in Palangka Raya - there are 5 of us. 
  • Let the girls con me into going into the "Pink Store," as they call it (similar to a Claire's, I guess).  Left with three headbands, some hair elastics, and some clips.  Said NO to a million other fun little knick-knacks.  Discovered a great place to shop for some upcoming birthdays!
  • Just started another new (free!) book on my Kindle.  Have I mentioned that I love my Kindle?
  • Am making tortillas from scratch for our dinner tonight - soft tacos!   Am making rice for dinner tonight - taco meat and rice in a bowl!
  • Rearranged our school room/office so that it can also be our play room. Girls sure do like it!  
  • Finished a prayer letter.
  • Decided to blog a little more often, even if it is incredibly dull lists of what I did today ;-)

Brooklyn enjoying the new play area.  Can't wait for the rest of our toys to get here!

(By the way, I've deactivated my Facebook account.  If you need to contact me for any reason, please feel free to use good old-fashioned email from now on ;-)  r cannon at maf dot org - without the spaces and with the proper symbols, of course!)

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

Image
  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
