This Face...

I love love waking up to this face in the morning. It appears they were on an outing to the cleft clinic. The lady holding him also appears to be his love! She is always smiling and he is snuggled up with her. God please prepare Wen's heart and this precious lady's as December approaches. I pray we can keep in contact with her. Just so she can know in her heart that Samuel WenHao Smith is loved to pieces all the days of his life!!

Thank you Aunt Kelc

 First of all, my sister is going to kill me for writing a blog about her, but oh well it's MY blog. Today she sacrificed herself and took one of our babies to the Circus. Yes, I feel it is a sacrifice. She took him for the entire afternoon, paid for elephant rides etc...and convinced him intermission was the end of it lol....BUT this mama would not have gone at all. THANK YOU AUNT KELC!!! There is one pic at the end of this blog of their ride on the elephant. For all you circus lovers, God bless you! I am not a fan. My boy had a blast and "people walked on tall things" and "the ladies did swing from high things mama". He LOVED IT:) Then she made the mistake of giving me her camera for the night to look at their pics. I found these of Kelc too. It doesn't matter what she wears from work clothes to dress clothes to mud riding clothes....She is so beautiful!!! She is turning twenty-one in October and yes I remember the day she was born. I still can't believe she is all grown up and has become such a gorgeous woman! I love you so much Kelc. Thank you for loving my babies and helping me in so many ways. I don't tell you enough how much you mean to us.

Noodles and Reflecting Pool


 No, I don't normally make allow William to eat on the kitchen floor. BUT, Daddy was cooking noodles and rice and William was so excited. He had to have a pot with water and a little rice to help. Then he insisted on me unbuckling his seat from the dinner table and this is where he decided to eat. After eating a bit he had to call "Pop" and tell him about it. (please excuse the fingerprints on the cabinets)

Ok, I would love to say I was teaching my children history and they built this great piece of art. WRONG, Miss Allison was playing with William's blocks and built this and then had to find Tinkerbell. I kept saying WHY do you need Tinkerbell? Guess who Tink is??? Abraham Lincoln...I thing that's awesome. She made the reflection pool out of Thomas tracks, and didn't leave out the Washington Monument either.



This is what Heaven looks like for boys...

A HUGE mud puddle and no lightning so mom allows us to get in it. One of them has a shovel and the other an arrow that he can dig with. Thank you God for rain!

Adaline's T-shirt

Front

Back

Well, we are finally logged in. That means that huge travel expenses will be right around the corner. I don't know if you have priced plane tickets for a family to China recently, but they are EXPENSIVE. I also got in trouble for designing and selling tshirts for Wen and not Adaline. When we made his shirts we had not even met our Adaline. Now we have met her and LOVE her to pieces. So, here is THE baby girl's shirt. I will place an order Sept. 2. They are $20 each. Thank you so much for buying Wen's shirts and for the support of the softball tournament. Both fundraisers were able to pay our second agency fees and China fees when we logged in our paperwork!!! That was a major moment around here. Now, we prepare for travel...YEAH, yippeee, Thank you Jesus, whoop whooop, can we leave yet???

LID August 18, 2011

Praise God! We are logged in and more paperwork now. Lol....I had a two week break with nothing to copy, notarize, sign, or mail. I'm ready! Bring it on! This mama needs her babies home. Daddy set up their beds last night. I'm excited and Allison said we need some princess bedding for Miss Adaline. Well, I think we do. We have more little boy bedding than we know what to do with. So blessed!

Mom's new bathmat

We finally got new bathmats, I spread them in front of the shower and in front of the tub, turned around and THIS planted himself on one. He was so proud of them and had to sit, lay, spread out on it. He laughed and poured out his popcorn on it. It was hilarious!!!



So glad I got new bathmats!!!
