Summer is here...

Well, we've waited for it and it's here. Summer has officially begun at the Pace House. School is out, popsicles are bought (and half gone I might add), grass is being cut (often!), and lazy mornings with coffee are at hand. Tennis is in full "swing" for me so that means many fun days at the park for the girls with sidewalk chalk, water bottles, dirty faces and the like.
SJ's end of year school program was great. Songs like, "Oh, It's Raining Cats and Dogs" and the "Days of the Week Song" make me wish I had gone to Kindergarten! Five Yr Old Kindergarten begins in August and will mean a daily trek in to town. But for now, we are only thinking of summer fun with family and friends. We have several trips planned in the midst of all the other fun things to do around here so I'm sure we'll be wondering where the time went by the time the school bell rings again.
We have 2 birthday parties tomorrow and Dad has a Graduation Ceremony to attend so we'll be up and running tomorrow. I do have updated pics that I'll post asap. But for now, you guys stay cool and I'll be blogging more soon....Nite!

All's Well.....and more....

Oh My! I have had an attack of the allergies! I've been sneezing all day and my eyes are all puffy and red! My nose is red too! I know, not the most interesting post for this most interesting blog but it has made my day most interesting. After cleaning out the fridge, I loaded up SC and SJ's friend SM for a quick lunch picnic at the park with CDP. We had a great time but while there, I had another attack. I could barely breathe! I thought for a minute I might be having an asthma attack! Whew! It was awful but I ran quickly to WM and purchased some medicine and am feeling much better now. That brings me to the point I wanted to make with this post. I am healthy and I am grateful! A small allergy attack is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Today's episode coupled with answering questions (and checking "no" on all those possible medical issues) on our APPLICATION FOR ADOPTION made me aware of just how God has blessed my family! Yes, we are beginning the process of our 2nd adoption from China. We have been waiting for God to release us to go back and we feel we've heard Him say, Go! This adoption will be a little different in that our little girl will most likely have some sort of health issue. We are adopting a Special Needs child with the hopes of giving her a better life and most of all being obedient and increasing our family. We are thrilled and overwhelmed at the thought that within the next year our family will increase but we know God is able! We are not, but He is! So, as you pray, remember us and our little girl that is yet to be known to us but is known to God. Pray for wisdom. Pray for the health of our little girl and whatever condition she might have. Pray for us to be ready to go when the time comes. Thanks for listening!
