Branson fun & back home to boxes!



                                                                    How cute are they?!!

                                                               Stuff to ship to Haiti
                                                               Silly Lyndlee
                                                                     Lyndlee & daddy
                                                 one of the sweet Acrobat girl with Lyndlee
                                                        he needs a few more kids to hold
                                                       Beautiful Chinese Children!
                                                       Lyndlee Jya-Ying
                                                                   

Well, this past weekend we spent in Branson with Jetts & Heardts who also adopted their babies from The Home of God's Love in Taiwan.  They have little Kyler & Ava, who Lyndlee adores & loves to spend time with, of course we love them as well, and consider them both siblings to our Lyndlee.  We went to the Chinese Acrobat Show & they performed just for families that have adopted Chinese babies so it was really awesome to see all these other Chinese children running around.  All three kids, mind you they are all close in age, all close to 1, sat for the entire 2 hour acrobat show & loved it.  It amazed us all.  Lyndlee only started to get a little restless because she kept looking back towards the back & could see the door & she is a go baby and kept pointing towards the door & would say Go!  
After that, we went to Silver Dollar City for the next day, now we weren't for sure how this would turn out, taking 3 one year old babies there but again, they surprised us all & did great! Sunday we hit some outlets stores & ate lunch & then departed our ways.  It was a great weekend with friends!
Then we came home to boxes!  Now that we thought they would be gone by the time we got home, it was just nice to get away from it for a few days.  We shipped our things early to Haiti this past Monday & are praying it all makes it there, guess we will know in August when we arrive! Living these past few weeks has been interesting to say the least, since we packed a lot of our stuff already.  The Lord is teaching us new ways to live!  For instance, Lyndlee is eating in her stroller for meals, since we had to ship her high chair, she doesn't mind, as long as she is getting her food!  Brennan is learning to take a shower with no curtain, he does mind that but I keep telling him just to take bubble baths like Lyndlee & I do, he says no thanks!  I am learning to make dinner with the few dishes, silverware, pots & pans that we have left.  We have learned to sleep with little pillows since we shipped those as well.  The list could go on & on but we are truly blessed!!  We have been sorting & packing for awhile now & come to realize just how blessed we are.  We have so many things, some things that are so silly, material things that mean nothing.  We are getting so excited for our journey to Haiti & for the Lord to use us there!  Please keep us in your prayers.  We have a busy next few months with some camps where we will be the missionaries, brother's wedding in Texas, visits to see friends/family before we leave, a new nephew being born next Tuesday.  Busy, busy times.
We love you all & pray you are well!
