Many of you know that Harry and I home school our children. Morgan is in third grade this year, Kristian is in Kindergarten, and Harrison is into everything :-) We are so thankful for the opportunity to teach our children. I'm especially glad for the distractions that it causes. When I am starting to feel anxious about the adoption, and that nothing is happening yet, the kids bring me right back to reality.
The other day I laid Harrison down for his nap, and sent the older two outside so I could eat my lunch. I was just finishing up, when I heard Harrison hysterically laughing. I went to check on him, only to find him standing on the dresser with the window wide open, and Kristian spraying him through the window with a hose! Aagh!!! I cleaned him up, went outside to talk with Kristian, and found he and Morgan covered from head to toe with mud. Literally, head to toe!! At the time I got VERY frustrated, but God is showing me that the things my children get into (and that's alot) are keeping me from getting over anxious about the adoption. I praise Him for my children, and their messes!!!!!

Well, if days like the one you just chronicled are considered "boring" I won't wish excitement for you! I am excited for you as I consider all the Lord will do in you through the life of this new daughter!
Love, Anne
