How much longer.....

I really don't know how much longer I can go without some sort of news. Our paperwork has been in Vietnam for almost a month without hearing a single thing. I understand that the power was out for a while and that slows things down, but I am desperate for something. I am agonizing over the fact that my son is just about to lose his best friend. It's really hard knowing he is going to lose a friend and I won't be there to hold him and comfort him through the ordeal. Please pray my little boy handles it well and that our pictures will let him know we are coming soon.

A busy week....

This week has been really busy with all of the emotions in the spectrum. First, Samuel's friend in Vietnam will be leaving soon. His parents received travel approval and will be picking him up October 1st. I am excited for them but very sad and upset for my baby. On the bright side, we will be allowed to send him a photo album of our family so that he can see us and be ready for us.
The middle of the week turned into a frenzy of comings and goings and now it is the weekend. We spent last night hanging out with my dad while my mom is out of town. Then this morning I played in our church league softball tournament. Let me assure you, I am totally out of shape. My legs are throbbing and all I'm doing is sitting!!! This afternoon the kids and I went to a skeet shoot for our church. Blake shot a "real" gun for the first time and he is hooked. He has a BB gun and has begged me to take him hunting, but I have put him off. Now that he can shoot a 410 I suppose I will be taking him along. My shoulder has been added to the hurting list because I shot so much. I do believe I will be taking a heavy dose of Tylenol before bed.
