What a wonderful, incredibly, amazing start to the New Year. You are so blessed!<br /><br />I will keep you in my prayers. I hope you get some rest, but I know that you will at some point, some day. And it will still be worth it. The sleepless nights, the busy days - all worth it.<br /><br />Hugs and love to you and yours!<br />GenaGenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881221214286010482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442141269439893971.post-10446725230605001102010-01-21T13:34:50.044-05:002010-01-21T13:34:50.044-05:00Sounds like things are coming together nicely and ...Sounds like things are coming together nicely and on target there!<br /><br />I'm so glad I video taped some of Sugar's chattering in Chinese....one day she will be amazed she spoke it. <br />I said "Ni Hao" to her yesterday and she said "What"?......I said "Hi" and she said "Oh, hello"......sadened me really. I'm hoping to get her into Manderin speaking class every other Saturday to try to keep her at least speaking a bit here and there. <br />As for the trip to the store...Sugar is a hands on everything kind of gal...until she understands better I won't go into a store that doesn't have carts! ;O)<br /><br />We were in NY 2 years ago....we loved it. If we ever go back I'll let you know.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your pastors wife...that must of hit hard with your church family. Thanks for thinking of us in your prayers. I am truly humbled.<br /><br />Bless you sweet friend,<br />DebzDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375551348761423144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442141269439893971.post-29718551702278971502010-01-20T14:39:02.056-05:002010-01-20T14:39:02.056-05:00That's wonderful!!

She looks SO happy.<br /><br />My husband's new job is resettling refugees in this country. I went with him on Saturday to visit a family. He had to get their electricity up and running and I watched as he taught them how to turn the lamps off and on in their apartment, and how to heat the oven and turn on the stove. It was the same ... big eyes. They wanted me to turn on the tv (a church had supplied everything in their new apartment) and when I did they sat and watched the blue screen (no cable of course). <br /><br />It was so funny.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140530325649071135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442141269439893971.post-16414358212952486862010-01-20T13:13:12.354-05:002010-01-20T13:13:12.354-05:00Oh Madeleine! I've been thinking about you. W...Oh Madeleine! I've been thinking about you. Wondering when you'd find the time to post. I'm so glad you did. I had thought about two things you mentioned, how she would do with the animals (she's actually ok with the dogs too?), and how she would adjust to John leaving for work. <br />I'm so happy things are going pretty smoothly...Blessings my friend!Kathy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17099897804706795324noreply@blogger.com
