Welcome July
The kids are elated about the 4th of July! The excitement is building, as this is Jacob and Losha's 1st Independence Day with our family, in America! The boys keep talking fireworks and really want to blow something up :-)! Their Aunt brought them smoke grenades and less harmful things that they set off today and a box of night works, that we'll save for the 4th. On the 3rd, We'll watch a rural town 4th of July parade and go to a cook out. Nana and Papa have planned a BBQ and night works for the 4th
Ending June
Wow! This month has been hectic!!!
I write all this not for sympathy or to be negative, but to show we all will have difficulties and must get through them.
Within the past week, we've had: a 3 day Classical Conversation practicum, Garrett broke down on Hwy 169, our post-placement adoption papers were messed up, and our upstairs central air unit quit!
Even more heartbreaking to deal with is our friend Julie is having surgery to remove a lump from her throat (thyroid cancer). They have 5 children, 3 from Russia.
But..... we enjoyed the practicum. I would have enjoyed it even more, if I had not been so distracted by the adoption paper mess up.
Garrett's car was an easy fix, thanks to my brother!
As of last night at 9:30, the adoption papers should get to where they need to be in order to get back to Russia in time!
A/C problem: So thankful, it was not our downstairs a/c, we were able to have a good night sleep and the repairman is here now.
Welcome July!
This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

May was chaos
The day after Gavin had his hospital visit, we had to go to the ear specialist, the next day Jacky cut the end of his left index finger off! He cut it off diagonally, so the surgeon had to amputate more evenly. So....May 3rd-6th we were either at the hospital or a specialist of some sort. Jacky has adjusted well with the loss of his left finger tip, with the exception of playing guitar and bass. It hasn't affected his drumming at all!
We had a blow out on the way to Garrett's graduation, the boys had to change the tire since Jacky couldn't, due to his finger. We bought new tires the next day.
The following weekend on the way to camp, we had a blow out on a new tire. We found out they put the wrong tires on our vehicle and we received a whole new set of tires. Wow! CHAOS!!!
