...And you may ask yourself - What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself - Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself - Am I right? ...am I wrong? And you may tell yourself - My God!...what have I done? (Talking Heads, 1980)
Nine years ago Mark and I set off on a journey. It was a journey that would embed the children of China into our hearts forever and teach us that God's plan is WAY better than our plan. It has been a journey into faith, obedience and abundant blessings. Over the past nine years we have seen God's hand at work in our lives as we traveled through the wilderness in search of His plan for our lives upon this earth. In April of this year God revealed the next chapter of the Lucas story. Join us as we embark once again on another leg in this Marvelous expedition.
This had been a good week. I am officially a great aunt! (i think) My niece, Sarah, and her husband Andrew welcomed Max into the world on Wednesday. We have all been waiting for the big arrival and we are so excited to finally know he is here. Max will live in Montana so we won't get to meet him until November.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD MAX! I hope you like it here!
And then......Look what I found in my inbox this morning. My Chinese fairy godmother got these for us. Look at that handsome kid. I found 18 new pics in my inbox this morning - but here are the highlights.
Dinner Time! Do you think he will ever like chicken nuggets after getting this spread?
Ummm, are they pointing a gun at me? You can see that MY perfect child prefers to play with the fighter jet rather than handguns. That's my boy.
Squeaky Clean & Ready to take on the world.
Someone has a loose tooth!
New Pictures!
Just look at him showing off his muscular physique, nimble athletic ability and then sipping on an ice cold coke after a tough workout! Watch out girls - here comes Mikey!
First day of school. Not just that - but first day at a new school. They did great and they say it seems like they have been there forever. I have been walking them to school for now. Eventually, I am sure I will begin to cramp their style and they will want to walk themselves. I have already staked out bushes to hide in so I can spy on them in the event of a mutiny, but for now - I will revel in the glory of them still loving to have mom with them. Long live cool moms 4 ever!
