Madison is 6!


We celebrated Madison's 6th birthday on the 7th of October.  I can't believe my little "Ecuadorian" is already  six years old.  She's a goofy, funny, sweet, intelligent, loving little girl.  We're pretty glad to have her around!   We were able to have a pizza party with our friends/teammates the Rogers before they headed back to Tarakan to pack their stuff.  (They came temporarily but have since decided to make a permanent move here...woo-hoo!)   Maddie enjoyed her rich, chocolate cake and, of course, getting to blow out her candles and open a present!

Just like we did for Brooklyn's birthday, we spent the night at a local nice hotel.  We swam a ton and enjoyed some good food.  Maddie got even more presents that day and when we came home on Sunday she got to pick our dinner - Kettle corn, cornbread, s'mores, and some purple jello that didn't quite set up as fast as we'd hoped!  That girl loves her sweets.  

Happy Birthday Maddie!!!

Maddie's Big Day!

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

  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...
