What’s UP?
Today is Wednesday, and we are half way through Brad’s trip. I’m tired, so you get this post in a list form. Good stuff guys. Good stuff.
1. Aus & Co. are in China and they have their boy! He is a CUTIE!!! Go read their blog and see why we love those crazy friends of ours so much!
2. Sam has struggled and struggled to sleep alone in his room. Three nights in a row, he woke up at least 5 times between 7:30 PM bedtime and 5:30 AM. The fourth night he woke up 3 times. Not cool. But last night, he woke up to eat at 10 PM – then slept until 6:45 AM. Yay Sammy!!! Sleeping baby = happy mommy!
3. The speech therapist was so excited to tell me that Will can now make a “D” sound! We’ll get there, one phoneme at a time!
4. Jack’s bedroom is 100% done. Curtains, lamps, furniture, pictures on the wall, etc. Done!
5. Margaret figured out that if she puts her spelling words to the tune of “BINGO” or “Mary Had a Little Lamb” she can get them right every time. Can’t wait to see her spelling test this Friday!
6. I didn’t talk to Brad today. Jack did. He was impressed when Brad told him that the police carry “AK’s”. That’s all I got from their conversation. Then I had to yell at Jack to get his shoes on for school.
That’s it for now. Sam is awake, so it must be time for his bedtime snack. I took this picture today. I like his little piggies hanging out in the foreground.

Lynn,
I have been praying constantly for Brad and Paul — and you. Being the “mom” in charge is not easy. I know you can do it — but I also know the toll it takes. We pray for Brad’s safe return to you and his family. You and your family are such an inspiration to me. I admire your husband — he is a good man.
Take care and if you need anything — please let me know. I would be happy to help with anything.

Hope you got my message — praying for each of you, and especially Brad’s safety.
