I happened to look on your blog. You are probably gone now and possibly meeting your children as I write this. I cant imagine how excited and nervous you are. I pray that everything goes well for you. As far as your pastor is concerned don't let him bother you. I have never cared much for him in the first place. I cant wait to hear all about your children. http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=112#comment-96 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 21:37:28 +0000 http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=112#comment-96 So happy to hear about the updates. The house is doing great and I've been hanging out there several times. The cats miss you, but seem to be handling the flow and overnight presence of your collective friends and family well. Boris sits to say "hello" when I first come in and Carl walks up purring because he thinks it's you two coming home. He stops the purrs when he sees it is me, but then he's more than happy to get scratches and loves after that! Bella lurks and then warms up. :) It's all good. Have a super time with your kids in Ethiopia!!!!! Prayers and hugs. K It’s all good. Have a super time with your kids in Ethiopia!!!!! Prayers and hugs.

The kids are really cute. Carol http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=104#comment-89 Tue, 04 May 2010 23:22:11 +0000 http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=104#comment-89 Thanks for the suggestions. We could only send one (1) toy each, and I thought it best it had it's own case - since I'm sure they are in a room with other kids. For him we got a matchbox car that came with it's own little carrying case. Open the case and it has a ramp and road. For her we got a small doll with interchangeable outfits, that came in a little purse that will hold everything. <br /> ]]> http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=104#comment-88 Tue, 04 May 2010 15:00:16 +0000 http://ourbigstep.thatisus.com/?p=104#comment-88 Karter loves CARS!! Any and all sizes cars. Kolin really likes playing with horses (of course) and army guys. He sets them all up and makes a game out of it! Also, colors and coloring books are great!! Booster seats can be transferred from one car to another, if you don't want to spend the money. We have the two that the boys use, and just send it with whomever needs it, except mom and dad, cause they have their own. Karter does not like to sit in one, he thinks he is too big!! Kolin likes it because it has a cup holder and he can see the dvd better.
