My boy likes to play by the potty now too... this was really funny, about two seconds later, he chucked that truck into the toilet... oh my gosh, good thing he decided to reach in and grab it though because I wasn't about to! So, needless to say, we washed his hands real well once we were done w/ this potty adventure. He went on the potty three times yesterday afternoon though, I think he was forcing himself though because I gave him a piece of chocolate (Choco in his words) after he went each time. Aren't you guys so excited to hear bout the potty adventures? I write about it though because I am seriously really proud of him for getting it! I mean a lot of kids don't even seem interested until they are over two, and sometimes three, so it is really great! We need to work on it though but I thought I would get him some "big boy undies" soon!
Peace and have a blessed day!

Mary Poppins Moment!
We are getting down to just two weeks until our misn trip and I am really excited! I can't wait, but then parts of me can. I am worried about my son and husband as I have said before, but then the Lord shows me that they will be fine, so whatever I am not too worried, I think sometimes I worry about worrying... does that sounds silly or what? I am really excited too because my sister in law told me about some of the stuff that her and her mom did while they went to London for an orchestra event when she was like 15, and the exciting thing is that her mom is going w/ me to show me around too! So that is something I look forward to... "feed the birds, tuppence a bag"... ahhh Mary Poppins moment! Anyhow I am just going to be homesick for my little one obnoxiously saying "ELMO! ELMO!" everytime we are in the living room by the TV... we should have never showed him Elmo! Thanks Big Grams! ;) Just kidding, it is fun and it makes it easier for me to get ready in the morning when I want to take a shower w/o my toddler in the bathroom! This boy stays glued for his 15-30 of elmo a day. Believe me I was really against the whole toddler watching TV thing, but whatever... only 15-30 a day won't hurt (at least I hope!). It is Ben's first time leading our Bible study tonight which is really great! He is pretty prepared, so that is really great!
Anyhow for now that is pretty much all, I just need to get working on my folder for my trip and praying and praying and praying more!
Anyhow, I am excited that this week is 4th of July and my Moms 50th! So, we'll have a fun time!And it always helps when the week is shortened by a holiday in the middle! The time is flying though between now and our trip... and then we are home for 5 days before we go to Pennsylvania (*hello A and K!!! WAHOOOO) for vacation!
Peace ya'll

Adalai
This is my girl yesterday... She turned 15 weeks old yesterday. Wow...
Well we leave in 3 weeks from now for London and I am getting really excited. Still haven't had much time to read my folder for it, but I have been praying. I think my mother in law and I are getting together to kind of prepare for our trip. My aunt gave me a huge bag to check and I am thinking of traveling w/ one backpack as my carryon and no purse... Anyhow, I love how my aunt is really excited about helping me pack and giving me tips. She told me to bring duct tape and flashlight and batteries. All I really know I need is diaps and wipes for Ada. Otherwise we'll be fine. I am bringing my skirts and shirts and my Ergo , the only other thing that I look forward to getting is my crocs.
I really hope I can stay w/ K... That is one of my only worries... But I need to just let the Lord work it out I am scared though if I can't... Ugh anyhow... That is all for now. We are going to the ski show tonight so I am really excited. Anyhow, just thought I would pop in and write while I am on the phone w/ my Grams...
Peace and Blessings

3 Weeks and 3 days until I leave
Oh my gosh I am so excited/scared/nervous/worried... but the Lord is certainly providing. Financial support has increased, wahooo! Anyhow, I am raising prayer support now, and have to make a list of people who will pray for me while I am gone... can you please? Post a comment or email me, if I can add you to my list as prayer support and then you will get updates from me while I am overseas. I am all of a sudden struck with the fact that I am running out of time before our trip. I have learned a little bit about Islm, not too much but a bit. I am working on the folder that they give you w/ different things to read in it, and I also have a book that deals with "hot and cold cultures" that I am suggested to read before I leave. OH my goodness, I am going to have to start staying up late to get all of this finished. Right now is naptime, so I am taking a quick rest and then I am going to take whatever time left that I have (W usually sleeps until 3ish, but the little one is very unpredictable) to wash the dishes and the floor, and then dive into my studies. I am going to really make it a main focus of mine to spend real quality time with Wyatt... My friend K posted a blog the other day bout how she never really knows if she is spending enough time on the floor w/ her little one, and I feel the same way. Please pray for peace of mind for me and that the priorities kind of fall into place because I am having a hard time right now... being super busy and trying to finish my folder and whatnot, plus spend time with W before we leave.
Feeding issues w/ Adi are getting better which I praise God for...
Anyhow, wow the baby just woke up, as if right on que... Peace out!
