it's been a busy busy week...

so it's been our first WHOLE week with little baby Qiao Qiao...
he is really just the SWEETEST little baby, we're all completely taken with him, he's adorable, but caring for his skin requires a LOT of time and attention...me and mom are pretty worn out from that...
craig turned 15 this week!!!! :) happy birthday, craigy!
also this week i've been spending a lot of time planning my highschool graduation with two other homeschooled seniors, we met on Monday and made plans and then went shopping on Friday and got invitations and tried (in vain) to find caps and gowns...yeah, NOT so easy to find around here...
last night we had a HUGE dinner with our good friends, my dad made BBQ ribs, soooo good!!! :P
then today at fellowship i had the little kids sunday school, those little kids wore me OUT! haha i'm SO tired, it's been babies babies babies all week! and it's sunday night! sunday night gets poisoned because it comes before monday morning! haha ugh i have school in the morning...
and i'm just rambling...

Introducing...foster baby #4, Qiao Qiao!!!

we got our new foster baby today!!!
the sweet, precious, little angel has been a brave boy with all the changes he's faced today!!
saying goodbyes to his last foster family was tough, they will always be a part of his life and i hope and pray one day when he's grown he will hear all about the family who saved his life and loved him... <3
we're going to be keeping sweet little Qiao Qiao for about one month, and i can already tell he's going to be a joy to have around! his cleft lip and skin condition are extremely challenging to care for but his bright eyes and sweet smiles are worth it! :)
please continue to pray for our family and this special baby boy!! thank you!!

i <3 my dad

so, tonight, my dad called me downstairs and sat me down and proceeded to tell me how he disapproved of my "mushy" facebook status (lyrics from chris brown's "i wanna be") and told me that i don't need another man in my life BECAUSE....i kid you NOT...and i quote...

"i care about you so much that i take time out of my busy day to edit out the little blotchy spots on your face before posting any pictures to facebook..."
.....

LOL
wow, i love my dad...THAT's the kind of comic moments i'm gonna miss!!!

i knowingly misquoted a chris brown song (that i LOVE) in my facebook status because i couldn't bring myself to include the grammatical error...
