something F.U.N.

so i realize the blog has been far from "fun" this week. or for the past month for that matter.

thought i would do something fun like talk about my other kids :)

my favorite thing anderson is saying these days is, "holy, moly, cow" when anything is hot, heavy, or deserves an exclamation. it's HI-LARIOUS.

whenever we talk about "home" lucy automatically thinks i am talking about virginia. when i say "house" she knows i am talking about kansas. so the other day when i told her we were picking up the van from the transmission place and taking it home she almost jumped out of her skin and said, "WE ARE GOING HOME TO VIRGINIA!!" poor baby, still figuring it all out. 

julia asked me to put her in a box and mail her to miss chris b/c she missed VA and wanted to go back.

mark asked me to put him in a box and mail him back to mr. dave! j/k!

i also wanted to take the opportunity to tell you THANK YOU for your thoughts, prayers, emails, calls, texts regarding our student. your messages have made me cry and laugh until my stomach hurt. if anything else we have quite the posse put together.  indeed katie found a friend to be with at recess and they have played together since wednesday.  she also came home yesterday with her first birthday party invitation. she was glowing. her teacher also went into labor and won't be back til october. she was totally excited, but totally freaked out b/c "it wasn't suppose to happen for 3 more weeks."  we talked about flexibility :)

btw, it's probably wise that no one mention the play ground incident with katie... seeing as she has not even told her dad about it. although given the opportunity, she declined. i get that, she wants to put it behind her and move forward.  that's the problem with the blogging mother, your life is probably too exposed. so, i WILL have to be more careful in the future.... although, in the future when she re-reads these, i will be able to recall all the WONDERFUL responses and prayers she received.. it will be a great reminder of how deeply loved she is., and that her God cares even about the smallest detail of her life.

i am glad we made it to friday... i am glad to have my girl home for 2 straight days. we are looking for some SERIOUS fun this weekend. with minimal crying on my part.

we feel so loved by you. thank you!
