It has been way to long...

It has been way too long since I had a chance to post on here. Bill is finally back home! We spent the weekend at a birthday party for our nephew Tristan! He loved his cake!!! Emenet did very well playing with the babies and meeting so many new people. She has been coming out of her shell around others. She loved staying at the hotel. She loved that we are all in the same room sleeping so close. She kept telling us all to go to sleep. I warned the boys that sooner or later she would be telling them what to do. It has been a very busy time here since Easter. We are trying to finish up the school year...look at new possibilities for school next year...my Mom had major back surgery... she came through the surgery...just a long recovery...got back into to working on my business...did two art and craft fairs...one was great and the other not so great. I did get a chance to talk about adoption with the promoter's son. (very curious about adoption). Looking forward to meeting one of our travel buddies, Gina, this week. It is so hard to believe that it has been four months since we were in Ethiopia. Can some one tell me how to slow time down...I just want to slow it down this time...I can not believe the boys are as old as they are! Bill is getting ready to go and help with disaster relief in Tennessee. I knew I would not be able to keep him back from this. God has placed such a strong desire for helping with disaster relief, widows and orphans...I know that the Lord is calling us to change what we are doing and get back out there in FULL time ministry again...Now if we can get our monthly support up to were it needs to be....here comes living by faith. Emenet is having such a wonderful time playing out doors these days. She wanted to plant a garden. We gave her a couple of flowers to plant and she has been taking good care of them. she is such a hard worker...we can not do any type of work with out her saying...me want to work too. She jumps right into the work. She loves to help with the cooking and cleaning too. It is sweet to see how she is adjusting to her new life here. Her language skill are getting better everyday...you just never know what she is going to do or say. Every time we call her a little nickname we are told..... I'm Emenet....sweetie not. She has brought such joy to our lives. I will try to post more often now that Bill is home and school is coming to an end!!! Yeah!!! I do not know who is more excited...the boys or me. I think it is me!!!!
