Thank goodness for Idlewild Who closed their park last year due to weather and gave out free tickets!!

I took 6 kids to a water park alone… Luckily we were meeting very helpful friends.

Idlewild or bust!

Avah loved every ride … Are you surprised? And loved riding with.. ‘Colie’.

Merry go rounds.. She had fun but needed to get on by herself, get off by herself…

Mia loved the ‘horsies’.. Even requested we go back to ride again. This is coming from the little girl who prefers the wagon while we pull her and hand her cotton candy and other treats. She usually just wants to watch.

Avah insisted upon having her photo taken for dongsang aka little brother.

Mia rode the cars with our great friend Ethan aka best helper!

Avah rode alone!! Honking and waving all the way!!

Mia really enjoyed swimming this time. She usually prefers dangling her feet and splashing others.

Idlewild has a new lazy river. The girls loved it and enjoyed riding on Mr. ken around and around.

Of course …Avah was a little fish!

Last Sunday was our congregations 100th anniversary. It was wonderful hearing all the history. We headed over to the Hilton for a dinner after service.

Teens were enjoying themselves..

As usual…

These two were jamming to the be bopping by this fabulous group.

Great time. Great friends.

Mia had dental surgery this morning. She has been sedated more than our entire family out together. It is still hard every time.

She bounces back beautifully!!

I do love this little sweetness.

My life has been crazy busy lately. BUT I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.. Home school evals are done… VBS is over… 31 party check…and on and on.

So I am starting and FINISHING a few projects.

One being this adorable R for my living room or front door.

I free handed it but just figured out how to do it correctly. Will show my next crafty piece soon!:)

It isn’t quite daily changes but every time I think we are smooth sailing, something changes. However I still have the same travel expectations.. Sometime this fall.

Things are different than Avah and Mia’s process. To bring home Cade we will need to travel to Korea twice. We both must appear in court .. Yes court in South Korea. {scary} For the second trip, Both of us are traveling because neither of us will stay home. Kenny wants to go get him and as much as I do. Isn’t he an awesome man?

Blake will most likely have enough money to travel with us on the second trip and it will be great to have a third set of helping hands. What happened last time.. Kenny arguing at the ticket counters and customs, me guarding luggage and Chloe was chasing Avah.

Typically these kinds of changes would send me into a tizzy… However I am waiting for my son. I would wait forever if I had too. Not that I want too.

We did see his IAP yesterday. She wants to see him the first full day he is home and the liver specialists want to see him. I hadn’t thought of this but his very important meds that he recieves during the day in Korea… Will change to he will be taking those meds all night long. So we have to figure out how to change him over to our time zone day with out upsetting his liver. This scares me slightly but God has got this.

Please pray for his little heart.. He has never lived in a foster home and only at his orphanage AMSA for about a year(since we met him). He doesn’t know a families love.

But I think he is going to do great!! We have all the resources to help him.

Until we can travel I am taking advantage of the traveling and always willing families to send some care packages. Above is the first one to be delivered.

Here are a few things we have sent to hold him over until we get there… I do love being a boy mama. There toys are so fun!!

And look at those superhero undies and socks…

And what little boy doesn’t need Spiderman light up shoes!!

I know my baby will be home soon!

As much as i would have loved to have been traveling to Korea at the of May like I have for the past two years.

I am thrilled to not be distracted for Paul’s birthday! We had a huge party with all our friends over. He had a blast and deserved being in the limelight!

Okay him and I went shopping for food for his party… Ummm.. Wow is this kid quick!

Collasping after seeing his new bike!!

Red Robin with some photo bombers…

Dairy Queen Cake!

Fishing with Uncle Rob:) doesn’t get much better than this!

Another cake at Gran and Pappy’s!

Happy birthday sweet boy!!!!  We love you!!

Two years ago….

Now…

Wow…just two years since our little Mia baby has joined our family. This child has blown me out of the water!!! She has blew all her diagnosis’s out of the water. She is brilliant and at only age 4 she is ready for kindergarten. It really feels like she has always been with us. She loves being the baby of the family but can NOT wait to have a bigger but younger dongsang than her.
She is fiesty and knows exactly what she wants.
We love you Mia Grace Heimee!!
