And ends up like this........
Here is what it all looks like up close :)
So fun exploding things:) Entertainment for less than $2- it's great!

So onto the MIRACLES!!!

Miracle # 1. Yesterday I received a phone call- from my grandma! Now that may not sound like a whole lot to most, but my grandma hasn't been doing as well lately. We went to see her while in Florida in August. She was -well frail, but was doing ok. But when she called yesterday- she was more like her old self (no pun intended- she is older, but she is still with it). I love my grandma and yesterday was a real gift a moment of talking like we used to. A time where she was sooo happy for our family. Happy about our adoption that is in progression. Happy to see pics of all of our kids playing, smiling, etc. Proud to show off all of her- 19 great grandchildren...soon to be more :) Through 3 adoptions (ours and our cousins) both to happen hopefully before the end of the year.

Oh yeah.....she told me of a dream she had of Jason & I in a 3 story home...needless to say we live in a one story home. She was worried about getting up and down the stairs in the home. Then she said- you wouldn't believe it there were lots of children....yep, my grandma knows our hearts for orphans! She loves it! Thanks grandma- you will never know how much your call meant to me!

Miracle # 2!!!!! Today we received a phone call and all the tests that were done on our sweet baby Naomi......came back and they really indicate that she is doing extremely well!!! Another words that the "possible" real urgency to bring her back from Ethiopia & treatments etc. - GONE! Now of course there will be all the retesting when we return home, but that news made me cry with excitement! I was dancing around our bedroom with pure joy & of course couldn't wait to phone Jason (he is on the road at the moment- be back later). WHO SAYS WE DON'T SERVE A GOD OF MIRACLES? OUR GOD IS AN AWE INSPIRING, MOUNTAIN MOVING, HEALING GOD WHO DESIRES THE BEST FOR EACH OF HIS CHILDREN!!!!!!

So THANK YOU for all of your prayers and keep them coming.....we truly value friends online & church & family! You know that often people ask how we do it, and we say loads of prayer & that includes the prayers that are said on our behalf from blogworld too! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We are doing the happy dance....giving the Glory to God! Celebrate with us!

I just couldn't wait to share that with all of you!!!!!!!!!!!
