I'm SURER than you are!

Caleb: Mom, I want my hair to look like Daddy's!
                        Me:  Are you Sure you want to buzz your hair?!?
Caleb: I'm SURER than YOU are!

I gave in. My son had his very First buzz cut today! Oh my goodness, I think I almost cried! :)
He has been bugging me all summer to let him buzz his hair like Jon's, but I just didn't have the heart to do it. But today, I tried to remember that my son is growing up and can make his own decisions (on some things), so...




He definitely looks different to me. I already miss running my hands through his floppy hair. But Caleb, is still the same little boy, short hair or not. In truth, I am kind of enjoying being able to see his facial expressions better. If you know our little boy, you know he makes MANY fun expressions!






Caleb's words have been ringing in my ears since he said them this morning... "I'm surer than you are". How many times a day do you think God says that back to us? Most likely a lot, although maybe with better grammer.  :)  I'm already seeing evidence that God was saying it to me two nights ago when I wrote my last post! Good stuff. Good stuff indeed.



Now off to enjoy the sprinkler....
In Christ,
Mara

Four years.

Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.

Philippines Travel - Random Tips

When I say random tips, I truly mean random tips! I kept a list of random things we learned while traveling in the Philippines. If you are planning on traveling there at any time, some of these could be very useful, some will just be some fun knowledge to have. Many of these tips you will not learn from your adoption agency or travel agency! Here it goes! BEFORE YOU GO: Pictures of documents:  If you are taking your smart phone or a tablet with you, then take pictures of emails, addresses, and phone numbers you may need. More than once I didn't have that one piece of paper  that I needed with that random phone number, BUT I had taken photos of many of my emails with people's names and numbers and hotel addresses which saved us many headaches! If you have a smart phone, hold down the power key and the toggle key at the same time, and voila!, you take a picture of the screen you are looking at. Gifts : Many people bring gifts for their hosts/drivers, orphanages caretaker

A feminine touch

How often do you think God looks down upon us and laughs at the things we think and say? I have to think, if I were God, I would be having a good chuckle at least every other hour just listening to my thoughts alone! Here was His chuckle... Mara: "I think we are destined for all boys in this house. The craziness of these boys! oy! This is my life." God: "Lol! Haven't you heard that Everyone agrees that girls are much harder than boys!?!" Mara: "For certain the only "cute" clothes I will buy will include a collar and buttons." God: "Hehehe! You do realize that girls don't just need a pair of tennis shoes for the winter and sandals for the summer, right!? They need dress shoes, sandals, tennis shoes, cute boots, real boots, shiny shoes, easter shoes, christmas shoes...." Mara: "It would be fun to have another female in this house. These boys could use more feminine presence. They are much less crazy. " God:
