Busy, Busy, Busy
Good Morning!
Tuesday was a fun day at King's Dominion with our friends the Chattaway's. We rode rides and cooled off at Water Works. Did I mention it was a heat index of 115? My nephew Billy would say that was nothing compared to where he grew up, but this was no desert dry heat. Everyone did well until they got hungry around 5:30. A large pizza filled everyone back up and we were back on the rides. It was wonderful to spend the day with some friends who completely understand life with an adopted child.
Please pray for a friend of Rachel Chattaway's, if you would. One of her jump rope teammates was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor just days before the competition. Chad is 11 years old and was told that if they had not caught the tumor when they did, he probably would have died within a day or so. God has spared him and we want to pray for complete healing. He has already had two surgeries in the last week.
Yesterday was another whirlwind day. After dropping Brodie off at school for an indoor soccer camp day, I came home and loaded the girls in the van. I stopped at the church and got one more document notarized, then we were off to Dale City and Mamaw's house. My mother graciously agreed to watch the girls, despite the many things she needed to get done around the house. She had been in Massachusetts for the previous week and is trying to get packed to go to the beach with us this coming week. I stayed for just a few minutes and then drove north toward DC. I parked at the Springfield Metro station and hopped on, not knowing exactly how to get to the Chinese Embassy by way of Metro. A nice young man at the station gave me directions of what stop to get off at and which bus to catch. All of this went off without a single hitch. I made it to the embassy and back to my mom's in about 4 hours, including driving during rush hour from Springfield to Dale City. I was proud of myself. The passports are all dropped off for visas and should be back to us early next week. I even made it back to church in time for the prayer service.
Today is a laundry and packing day. We leave in less than 48 hours and I have packed zero items. Guess I should get a move on.
Have a great day!
