Thought I'd have the funnest pics ever for u all today since we took the kids to a sprayground with jumping waters and pipes spraying everywhere. However, 3 minutes into our time, Jh fell and hit his face on a bench and opened up his head between his eyes. It was awful! By God's grace, he did not have a head injury per se but did need several stitches as well as having a swollen eye. Poor guy!! He was so sweet tho wanting to share his ice cream treat with J after the stitches. We were all so glad to see him after he got home and gave him tons of hugs and attention! Pls pray quick healing for him, no pain, and no lasting trauma. The kids in general are doing well. We are super pleased that they have been able to bring up and talk about memories at the orphanage without the terrible grief they had before and we often are found laughing with the kids at mealtimes when they share. 😍love it! We are trying new parenting ideas as we get to know the kids more. E has been a delight to me as we cook together, play volleyball (she is amazing at it), jump on the trampoline and try tricks, and play foosball together. She has a real sweet heart! Jh loves to draw pics of all 7 of us and has asked to learn I love you in english so he can write it and tell us so! He's a brave boy who shares his food but also can be a bit rough on the girls by pulling their hair or hitting them on the back! ME is a handful. She wants attention but gets it by disobeying or playing rough w her younger sister. She likes to b in control and is still struggling w fear of the basemt (where her room is). We are being very consistent with her! T is still our screamer but has the cutest smile afterwards! Ha! She unfortunately mimics sister ME at times but loves to snuggle and be a part of whatever her siblings are doing. She loves balls and the trampoline. We r in r 2nd week home and still so grateful 2 b here in States!
