A few tidbits from the week:
Caitlyn wanted to go outside to play and I was not going out at that moment so I said "no, we will go out and play later. Miss Determined says, "yes my am. I'm going!" and begins to climb the door to unlock the top latch. I scoop her up and gasp at her behavior and hug her and tickle her and say "we will go out and play in a little while." She then gives me a frownie face and says, "I am not happy to you mommy."

Caitlyn has also been singing Jesus loves the Children and Jesus Loves Me all week. Instead of chanting as a toddler does she is trying to develop a singing voice and its so cute. She is attempting to hit notes and its precious to hear.

Chloe watched Andy Griffith with me one afternoon and it was an episode where Opie and his friend find a baby that a mother has abandoned at the police station. Opie and his friend decide to take care of the baby and not tell any grown ups, because they do not want it to end up in an orphanage like Oliver Twist. The wheels in Chloe's brain began turning and she decided if she found a baby, she too would hide it and keep it for herself and me. :) She daydreamed about how fun it would be to "find" a baby for some time. She would keep it in her tree house.

Daddy had a job this week working on the home of a family that also has adopted from China 2x. He came home all smiles today saying the babies allowed him to hold and play with them. He was lit up as a Christmas tree though he would never admit it. I am so thankful for the love he has for God's children. He is such a generous, kind man when it comes to the orphans of the world. I used to take it a bit for granted, but now I cherish the fact that he feels such compassion.
