Creative or Crazy?

Well, Kenya and Elijah have started school and they are loving it with an occational whimper of I can't do this. Over all it is going good. The curriculum we are using is very helpful to get Mom out of her box, instead of the same ol same ol. Mom is enjoying homeschooling a lot more this year as the History part is a lot of reading out loud. So we have taken our books to the lawn at the park. We get to snuggle on a blanket and read while we still have some sunny days left. We are still working out some glitches but once Mom figures out what she is supposed to be doing. I am sure things will run smoothly. Elijah and Daddy got hair cuts the other night and Elijah expressed he really wanted a mohock (one of his friend had gotten one earlier in the year) So Dad decided, what the heck, he's homeschooled, we can let him sport it for a couple of days. Now my little sweetheart is looking more like a little punk. I guess I can handle it for a couple of days. The smile just doesn't go with the hair. Here they are writing their spelling words in paint.

Tadd has been working for one of his friends doing construction and it is working out well for them both, as right when we got home from vacation, one of his full time employees went back to college. Still keeping our sites on Haiti as we try to get a couple of big issues worked out. Praying that the Lord will open doors if this is His will. We definantly don't want to be in Haiti with out Him. Please pray that He will open doors where they are closed or steer us to the one that He has opened already. Also, that we will abide in Him daily and seek His plan. Instead of trying to plan it all out on our own , before He shows us what He wants. Charity is a planner and that always makes stepping out in faith very hard. We were waiting till November to leave hoping we could stick around for Tadd's brother's Wedding but it looks like that due to some paperwork with his Fiance in Mexico they may have to push the Wedding off until December. We would really hate to miss it, so we are seeking the Lord's direction on the matter. No word on the adoption, the kids were safe through all the hurricanes. They are on higher ground, so the worst case senario was that they would not be able to get supplies as roads may get washed out. Some of the roads they use were washed out, but they were able to find alternate routes. Please pray for all of those involved in the hurricanes, as after hurricanes there is a greater risk for sickness and infections (especially in Haiti) as all of the garbage and waste has been spread. Thanks agian, Here is a 2 week old picture of our cuties that another mom took while she was there.

Obviously the one in in blue flowers right up front signing "I love you" is out sweet and sassy little girl.

The cutie with the big smile in the plaid shirt is our boy.

We miss them so much and when we talked to them on Tuesday we learned the sentaments are returned. We are so excited to see them soon.
