Ahhhh Vacation.

On an impulse we decided to get ourselves out of town for Memorialday weekend. The destination chosen was Williamsburg, Virginia, where the amusement park "Bush Gardens, Europe" is. The kids loved the rides and the words from them the whole time was "I want to do it again." Here are a few pictures of them having fun.

We love the horsies.

If you don't know it, Ladybugs are concidered lucky in China, so of course the kids had to do the Ladybug ride.

When the children was just a tad to short for a ride, momma kooky or daddy crazy had to join in on the fun.

Isn't this every parents dream from time to time??

PLEASE PRAY for the people of SICHUAN, CHINA!

Our Matthew is from Sichuan, China. We picked him up in Chengdu, China last March 2007. The city was so beautiful, so serene, and the people there loved seeing a "double stroller" filled with two Chinese kids, with 2 Americans.

Please pray for the people of Sichuan and Chengdu, Chongqing, Wenchuan and Duijangyan. They were all affected by this monsterous Earthquake! We have been trying to gather any piece of news about Chengdu and Matthew's orphanage. We have heard this from Half-The-Sky........(the program which helps some of the orphanages in China) Yibin SWI and Chengdu SWI are OK! They suffered minor damage, but NOTHING like building collapses and such. THE CHILDREN ARE OK!!!!!!! I know personally, in the Yibin SWI, there are disabled children in there. THEY ARE OK! Thank GOD!!!

But there are many others, schools, hospitals........who did not fair so well. Please pray for them! Just take a moment, right now and pray for them! Please!!!

Another class, another dollar..........

You say? What in the world is she talking about? My Calculus class. I will admit in front of everyone that I did not pass my class! That's right, for the first time since entering the public school system way back in *covering mouth and saying 1974* I failed a class. Calculus of all things. Big deal? Yeah, it's a big deal, but I've totally released myself from this class and the heartache/headache its caused me since January. I'm taking a break from school for a bit. I need it.

Crazy is still in school. Just a few weeks left. I hope he passes his classes. We are focusing more on him anyway. Getting his Engineering degree for better paying jobs!!! :o) He's doing well, so he keeps saying to me. He's been putting up with me and my "antics" of being mad, sad, totally hysterical because I couldn't get a problem done right to save my life!!! You know the drill........ain't it great to be of the female population?!

The kids? Rebecca is being her normal self. Diva, looking for a reason to have just any "tude" for any reason. You'd think she was in puberty already! *did I say that?* hehehehee.....*s* Na, she's ok, but testing the limits and boundaries of mom, dad and little brother EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Matthew? He's the one I am worrying about just a tad. He's had 2 asthma attacks in a very short time and isn't recouping from them like he normally does. He has an appointment with an allergist today at 2:30pm. He's getting the full scratch tests done and a few more things.........he won't be happy, I'm sure, but it just has to be done. Since last week, he's been wheezing just about everyday, coughing, runny nose, red puffy eyes.........it's just got to be allergies! I hope it's just that easy, you know? If this is triggering his asthma, this will be easy to deal with. If not, I have no clue! We've had to get more of his nebulizer meds because he's going through them so much. His pediatrician is monitoring him via us calling her but come this afternoon, she wants to know every result of his allergy test. ASAP!

Say a prayer for Matthew. Please. He's struggling. Seeing your baby struggling to breathe is NOT, and I mean, NOT a nice thing to see! His wheezing is kinda heavy too. We should know more today! Lord willing!!

Other than that........new job is going GREAT! I love it! Still do after 2 months!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, the big, BIG news! We are going on vacation! YES! First one in a MAJOR long time! We are going to WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA! I can't wait! I can't wait! Did I say I can't wait?!?! So psyched about it.

Besides praying for our Matthew's health/asthma. Please pray our paychecks go up! We are finding it harder and harder to pay for gas these days. I'm sure you are too, but man, somethings just got to give! And soon.........A raise would be wonderful!
