Made it to Brussels


We arrived in Brussels safely this morning. Annie is doing well with Auntie Amber or as she's been calling her Daddy Amber. Here is a picture of her working on a calendar we gave her to keep track of the days we'd be gone. We plan to do some sight seeing today and then on to Africa tomorrow morning. We are getting anxious.

    You made it! Persistence pays!
    Speaking of which, Okla. reached a record of 18 Consecutive days of rain! We also reached the 10th rainiest Jan. to June period in our history. Hard to believe there were 9 others that had more rain.
    Amber called to say, "Hi!" We could hear the girls in the background. She asked Annie if she wanted to talk to Grandma..."I'm PLAY-ing!" So, we will talk to her later...maybe!
    Be safe.
    Love,
    Dad

    I am sooooo thinking of you. My husband and I are in the process of adopting from Liberia with AFAA; hoping for siblings, too. Thanks for setting up the blog. I check up on you guys several times a week :o) It helps endure the endless waiting.
    Hope all goes well for you. Can't wait to hear and see more!

    You know you're a good parent when... Your child is too happy and too busy to give you the time of day. Way to go Scott and Sue!
    We are thinking of you and praying for your safe and very eventful return.
    Love,
    Angela and David
    P.S. Max and Emma are very interested in the story of your expanding family.

    Checking in with my kids. We're awaiting the next post... Cecily wants to know what you had for lunch. Reece wants to know what it's like in Africa. Take notes and report back!

    What a perfect birthday for Annie. There was a greater plan to make July 1 the greatest day of all, the most celebrated in your family!

    Sending our love,
    The Petersons

Bedtime

Abegail had a tooth pulled yesterday...so we told her to put her tooth under her pillow and the tooth fairy might come to take it and leave her some money. She was SUPER curious about the tooth fairy all day. Question after question..."Daddy, what does the tooth fairy look like? What will happen if I wake up while she's there?" Then after about the 15th question, I realized it was probably a bad idea to even mention the tooth fairy. By 8:30 last night, EVERY child was scared to go to bed because they were terrified of the tooth fairy creeping into their room while they were sleeping!! Abegail put the tooth under her pillow and then refused to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the floor...and then so did the other two. An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

First Day of School

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived. Oh well, Annie was picking her nose anyway. Abegail got onto the bus like a real pro!! She was soooo excited! As you can see...Annie and E-Man were skeptical. Frankly, E-Man was quite concerned.
