Kites, fun at the park, Easter egg hunt, and Carlow's surgery!

Well I know it's been a while so let me give a little update, Carlow had to have surgery, orchidopexy repair, also hernia or hydrocele repair and chordee repair. The surgery went well it was very stressful but I think that is normal with anyone having a child undergoing surgery of any type. We were called back to consult with the Dr. after the surgery and we were called back to early and had to sit for 40+ minutes in a small consult room.There was a miscommunication and when they called us they thought the Dr. was closing, turns out they weren't. But the longer we sat the more dark and foreboding thoughts started running through my head. I was pacing the room like a caged tiger by the time the Dr. finally came in to talk with us. Everything went well and we have to keep out little guy still and down for 4-6 weeks. And if any of you know him I know that you are laughing your head off, because he is sooooo active!

We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Tracye and Lexie! All I have heard is how much they miss Aunt Tracye and Lexie and when are we going to go back and visit. Love you Hun thank you for everything you have done for us!!!!!

Saturday the kids went on an Easter egg hunt with the Church it was so cold but it sure didn't stop the kids from hunting eggs!

Ye Ye went with us Friday to the park we flew kites and played on swings and slides. They had a wonderful time so did Ye Ye and I! Katie lost her kite in a tree she was very sad to leave it there. Cordie was being pulled around by her kite.

Carlow's first time in snow!!!!!

Heads up this was taken just before the snowball hit me Oh Brad's in so much trouble!!!! hahaha

Carlow's First Snow, not so sure about the cold!!! Or the bright snow!

Our classroom

I wanted the kids to have a place that they could have class and feel like it was only for our school work. So I have cleaned out a small section in our kitchen and here it is. The pictures behind the desks are their hand prints they made while we were finger painting I lamented them. I love them all look at Carlow's little hands I love them!

Saturday we ran into the Scotts

Xiana and Cordie are both from Hefie city Anhui Province CHina and were adopted 2 years ago March 13!!! Cordie warmed up and now we hear stories that she is making up with her bears to include Xiana. In our family I think this must be high praise indeed the girls have very good stories about thier bearsand how they traveled to China to bring them home. I love these pictures I think our girls are beautiful! Carlow and Katie both attached themselves to Hayli she is an awesome Da Jei Jei!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs to you all God is awesome and we were so blkessed to run into them by accident!
Love,

18 Yrs together I just can't believe it.

Honestly I still feel like that 20 yr old who eloped with her sweetheart. Okay yes I just gave my age away as well as the fact that we eloped I might as well finish the story for you all to have a good chuckle.

January 26Th 1990 Brad and I eloped , we walked down to the court house about 1 block from my parents home and got married, the witnesses were the staff of the Judge. I still have the rose the Secretary gave me.

We didn't tell anyone and kept it to ourselves figuring that we would go ahead with the formal wedding with all our family.

NOT!

On Valentines Day Brad had stayed with me I was living with my parents still and sharing the down stairs apt with my brother. Brad had called his parents and told them he was staying the night we then went through the motions of Brad leaving going and saying good night to my parents.

And Bright and early the next morning I heard someone at the front door, looking outside it was Brad's dad. Yes can you say sick to your tummy! My mom answered the door and here is Amos asking for his son. My mother was very confused and probably angry.

Mom came into my room, just as brad had jumped under the bed and his clothes were thrown under with him and in walked mom!

I told mom I would get something on and come talk to Amos. Brad jumped out from under the bed and int his clothes faster then anything I have ever seen in my entire life. We opened a side window that had been painted shut for more the 10 yrs. He slipped out and went in front of the house instead of behind so as I am going alone to face our parents I hear HEY there goes a boy that looks just like Brad! Did we mention his dad had someone in the car with him? No? Well it was a shock to us as well and then to my horror I hear HEY! there goes a car just like Brad's!

As I am trying to stumble through not explaining myself Brad comes to the back door and we get our marriage license, presenting it to two very shocked parents .

As my father was leaving for work I heard When I get home I want to see the marriage license and it better not have today's date on it!

Well that is our colorful wedding story hope that you all have a fun time reading it looking back yes I would have changed things I know that our actions hurt many people we loved. But I would never change marrying Brad we have had good times hard times times with and times without but we have always gone through it together.

God Bless you all night,

Bekah
