Happy Birthday Scott! I think I m setting a record, because I forgot it again. Well, I didn't actually forget because Sue gave me the birthday code - 6-12-24 - guess you know what that means. Anyway I put something in the mail today for you and Sue and there are some real pearls of wisdom in there. Enjoy. Love, Nancy
Isn't it wonderful how the kids can be practically as ecstatic over your birthday as their own! Looks like it was an appropriately special day for all. Happy Birthday, Scott, from the Coetzees!
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...
Six kids will be united with their new families today, Cheryl is escorting them home as we speak. We are anxiously awaiting for word that A&E's friends are safely in the U.S. Maima and Tarry (NJ) Jacob and Mardia (NY) Felicia (MI) Alomiza (NY) Also, one of our other favorites, Ishamel , met his parents for the first time yesterday. Craig and Karen Monson from UT are at the AFAA house now. We are so happy these meetings are finally happening after a big wait. QUOTES FROM ABEGAIL : Last night Scott made chocolate chip cookies. Abegail comes in the kitchen and says, "can I have one?" I said, "Ask Daddy." She says, "But it's an emergency!" I'm sorry we interrupt this programming for a cookie EMERGENCY.
Happy Birthday Scott! It looked fabulously fun.
