Sweet Memories

Sometimes you have to let them cry a little, of course Brianna rarely cries a little, she is screams or is completely happy. So she was screaming, a bit over tired and I think her teething gums were bothering her tonight too. After I had gone in a few times to give her her paci, I decided she just needed to cry. After a bit, I hear Joshua say " Don't cry Brianna, it's ok." She stopped crying immediately! My heart just melted, such a good big brother! She quickly fell asleep after that. Maybe she just needed to know she had company in the new big room she was in. :)

Off to Colombia we go...We hope!

Cali Colombia that is, just a little further away then Ohio. Alot of it is in the air, even though the trip is about 2 weeks away. We are pretty sure God wants us to go, so we are prepping and trusting things will fall into place. Brianna should soon be the owner of a passport. Our schedule is clear for the time we'll be there and...I'm planning on stopping in Fl with the 2 kiddies on the way home! Very excited.
God has provided great prices for tickets to do all this with.

I'm a little nervous at being surrounded by people all having fun in a language I don't understand. Nervouse about whats on the other end and how easy/difficult it will be traveling with kids out of country... I guess we'll se how it goes...

A Fine Performance

This year Elias, Joshua and I went to see a live theater production of the Musica Christmas Carol, with my family. I've seen it a few times, but I'm very glad to have gotten a chance to go see it with my whole family! It's a little pricey for a family of 8 plus to go. But a special give away my sis discovered gave us a an opportunity to get all the tickets 50% off! :)

This was Joshua's first real show and I was a little worried he may get a bit antsy, but he LOVED it and sat so wonderfully through the entire thing! At the end a few people around us said they didn't even realized Joshua was there. These moments are always so encouraging to me. They say, you are doing a good job parent, maybe not perfect, but a good job. Your time and effort is not being wasted.

Brianna had some girl time with Olivia while we were out, it was nice to be able to focus on Joshua for the evening.

To wrap the evening up, we went to Cheesecake Factory to eat cheesescake, yummmy, yum!

I have no pics of the evening. :)
