Rambling

Summer has been too fast and furious for me.  

There were 3 main things I wanted to do this summer:  1.  clean my desk, 2.  make photo albums for Kai and Sarah-Grace,
3.  make composite pictures for my 3 youngest kids like the 4 older ones have, 
4.  finish up all adoption paperwork--hmm, that's four.  Well, number one got done.  Numbers 2 and 3 are being worked on as I type(I'm uploading 300+ photos to print).  Sarah-Grace had her first post placement visit and we did get her COC shortly after she got home--now I just need a US birth certificate, adoption decree and ss# and I can be DONE with adoption paperwork.  I'm trying to figure out what to do with it all. . .(does one need to keep triplicates?)

The end of July and early August were camp weeks around here.  We started off with Jonathan going on a short term missions trip to New Orleans.  They thought they were going to help with construction, but instead did mostly street evangelism, sports evangelism and prayer.  He LOVED IT!  He witnessed the salvation of five people and spoke to and shared with 100's.  What an awesome week for a 14 year old boy.  I'm really proud of him and the way he let God use him.

Daniel went to cubscout resident camp during the first week of August and Kai was at Chinese Culture Day Camp.  I thought it would be a quiet week for Sarah-Grace and I.  Did I have that wrong.  We spent our time running between picking Kai up and dropping him off, visiting with Daniel (cubs are supposed to have a parent AT camp) and trying to visit and play with friends.

SO summer rolls on.

Our rabbits are getting bigger.


Our house is getting cleaner


And our dog, Java, is still bad--and he knows it
