Fall
It's been crazy around here lately. I feel like I've been dropping the ball constantly, chronically late, grouchy to my kids and man, and just generally not finding my groove.

Miss Betty
As I listened in and took these pictures (a blog post in mind the whole time) :) I wondered if she wondered why God had brought her to our house that day. I mean, our kids were reciting their verses to her, we talked of our relationships with the Lord, etc, so we really didn't need to be told what we already knew, right? But I know why she came. She came to SHOW me. Isn't just like God to not only convict the heart, but to then help us take that conviction one step further to action - and show us how it's done?! Pretty cool.

Thinking of Fruit
Over the past few months I've heard Maggie exclaim, usually in times of distress, that she's "thinking of fruit." And she doesn't just say nonchalantly, "Mom, I'm thinking of fruit..." do-dee-do. She says it passionately and with urgency, like, "MOM, I'M THINKING OF FRUIT HERE!!!" As if that's supposed to indicate major seriousness - the world's about to end serious.

Neti Conviction
Ok, so I've got this favorite thing. I use it every day, without fail, and sometimes even 2-3 times per day. It's one of those things that totally freaked/grossed me out by the mere thought, but once I tried it, it changed my life...are ya ready? (drum roll...) It's my Neti Pot. Ever heard of it? If you know me, and you've ever mentioned allergies, you've heard me tout it's "amazingness." If you've been in potluck with me, well, you've seen me demonstrate it. :) It's something I love to tell people about because not only did it change my life, but I want others who suffer with constant sinus pain, pressure, and post-nasal drip to "taste and see" and find some relief too! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a hilarious little demo video I found online...

What happens when...
Q. What happens when one of your kids has a stubborn case of Giardia (intestinal parasite - water born - from ET) for two months that requires multiple poop checks and rechecks?

"All the day..."
Ellie just came into the kitchen as I was cooking and told me she told Yonas about Jesus...how he died on the cross for us, loves us, etc....and I was like, "Wow - that's awesome, Ell!"

"So, How's It Been Going?"
Is a question I've gotten a lot the last few weeks since we've been home. This week marks one month since we met our sweet little man, so I thought it would be a great time for an update.

Ethiopia: Days 5-10
I don't have any pics of us arriving home yet, but hopefully will share those in the near future. I've had such a hard time capturing this trip with so few words and pictures, but hope I caught at least the essence of it.
