Cathartic day

I am overly blessed by such beautiful people in my life. Thank you for your outpouring of love and prayers through this process. Your encouraging words are taken to heart and will stay with me always.

As this is the last day of my official holiday break, and I needed some cathartic activity, I decided to do two of the things I love most, well I suppose it is three actually...

1.spend time with my handsome boy, Caleb
*pics from Christmas Eve - he's so much fun!

2.sew
*there is a purple "Big Sis" shirt already at their house... I'm going to be an Aunt again!!! 
I decided all three of them needed a shirt! So excited to see them in it...
**note to Katie - would like a picture please.  :)
***Caleb helped pic out the fabric for the "Lil Sis" shirt. All fabrics were from Owie Owl scraps!


3.sing & dance
*This video was actually recorded about a month ago, but Caleb and I did sing this song today as well. 
Not sure what it is about the song, but Caleb absolutely loves it!

--------------------------------

While waiting for the video to upload, Caleb and I ran the dog to the vet for an appt. and then went to the store, where I stood in the Lego aisle for ONE HOUR waiting for Caleb to make a decision. He has been saving up his money to buy his "very own set". He was one excited little boy. He kept saying, "this is just so hard to decide." We went through multiple different boxes, combination of boxes, back to the same boxes, and then ended up with a Marvel Super Hero set that....well truthfully... Mom and Dad are really excited about! Legos have always been cool, but in the time since we were kids, they've REALLY become cool. So happy I have a boy and another one coming soon! (not that girls don't play legos mind you!!!)

We are now busy finishing supper and building Legos, then Caleb bedtime, followed by maybe some more sewing...
Good day I'd say  :)

Hope you all have a great weekend! Maybe I'll finish putting away all of our traveling bags and boxes and then upload our Christmas pics....  we'll see how motivated I am this weekend....

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:
