My favorite men on this earth!!!





Isn't God good. We all just talked to Dad over the internet. It was exactly what we all needed. The boys got to say hi and talk over the little microphone. They thought that was so cool. The boys are so funny and so different. Jackson got on the mic and was saying how much he missed Paul and all about his day at school. Then Luke gets on the phone and starts calling Paul a "stinter" and a "montee tale". Then he says, "but I wuv you Dad" Completely melted my heart listening to them talk to Paul and Paul telling them how much he loves them and misses them. Moving on...getting a little teary.
Everyone keeps asking how I am and how will I get through this time without Paul, um I just do. Thankfully I have people like Suzie and Morgan who take the kids without batting an eyelash as well as other friends who have been more than kind to take on my monkeys. God has placed people in my life who support me, encourage me, love me for who I am and would truly do anything for me. What more could I ask for. Thanks God!!!!
Thank you to all of you who have asked how I am. If you don't mind...keep asking and if I start crying it is probably because I stayed up too late posting stuff on my blog. HA! Love you all!

Good morning! We heard from Dad today. He sounded GREAT. All is well with them. Today they are just hanging out in Nairobi and calling wives and family to check in. Tomorrow they will start going to visit the orphanages. Although I am so jealous that I cannot be there, I know it would be so hard for me not to fall in love with all the children and want to bring them all home. So I will just smother mine with more hugs and kisses.
The boys have been GREAT. When they play with their cars and airplanes they are always taking Daddy to the airport and flying him to Africa. Luke yells, "bye dad bye" as he makes his plane take off. So CUTE! At this moment they are playing VERY well together....oh wait, now they are fighting. So much for the quiet moment. HA!

I say it has been a while...

So, I say it has been quite a while since my last post. So many things have happened and so many memories have been made.
We sent Dad off this morning for his second trip to Africa. This time to see the wonderful orphanages our church has planted in the Kenya area. I am so excited for him and so jealous as well. It is kind of funny how this morning I was ok with him going and now I much I miss him. The boys were so cute taking him to the airport this morning. They truly were not interested in him beacuse of the marathon that was being run on the usual route to the airport. They wanted to get him on the plane and go see the "wace". Funny how Mom is thinking of all the things that can go wrong and they are running around the airport saying "Wets go see the wace, MOM!!! MOOOOOOM, wets go see the wace!!" So we got Dad sent and went and saw the race. Well, being that it was a marathon there were about 5 people we actually saw. Jackson says, "well that was no fun. Lets go find another one. When I get big I will wun a wace and wear my Dad's hat and running shoes, K, Mom?" Then Lukie pipes up and says, "hey, wheres dad?" Telling him about the whole airport thing, he says, "Oh, tan we doe bat and dit him?" "well, not for a few weeks sweetie." "Tay" he says. "Mom, maybe we tan doe bat tomowow and dit him, tay?" Never quite got the whole two week thing. I think he has said that about 20 times today. Sweet boys, they will miss him, but they are also excited about all the stories he will tell them about the "Afwitan Tids" as Lukie says. Jackson told me today that he will be an "African man when he is bigger and teach the people all about how good Jesus is and football. Ha! The important things in life.
