Hazard on the Front 9

Isaiah had a shocker when he unknowingly walked in front of a swinging golf club earlier this week. It involved lots of screaming, blood, and a trip to the ER for a thorough glue job.

Painting

I am trying to find fun things to keep the kids busy while I am putting away veggies. One day last week we got out the watercolors and that entertained for quite a while.

Cooking Breakfast

These are pics of Isaiah making breakfast last Sunday. He LOVES to cook. He said he wants to be a chef and a man when he grows up. I have been slacking on blogging because we have been very busy. Putting away vegetables is taking up alot of my time. Also, Rexhina (pronounced like Regina) arrived this week! We are so happy that she is here. She is such a sweet person. Tessie is arriving on Monday and we are looking forward to meeting her too. They both start school on Wednesday and we have alot to accomplish before then.

Lake Delhi

Our friends Bjorn and Sarah Hill invited us to their familie's lake house this weekend. Isaiah got out of his box a little and rode on the jet ski with Micah and Bjorn. We had a great time.

Stuff

Well we are getting back to normal after being gone and I think the kids are really glad to be back here. They have played with their toys and have been very content. We are trying to get some vegetables in the freezer and Isaiah has become quite the helper. He has a gazillion questions as ususal but now wants to do many things that I do. He has really enjoyed snaping beans the last couple of days.

One of Isaiah's new favorite things to do is to meet the mail man at the mailbox and grab the mail. He usually does not say anything to the man, he just has a big grin. Today when he went out he ran as fast as he could to the box to meet the truck as it was almost at our house and he got the mail and yelled "Have a great day!". He giggled at himself all the way back up the drive. He was SO CUTE! I almost cried.

In other news, we are getting ready for two exchange students to join our family. They will arrive on the 14th and 18th. They are both girls and will be seniors at a Christian school nearby. Tessie is from Vietnam and Rexhina is from Albania. We are anxious to meet and welcome them. Isaiah and I are having fun preparing for them. He has painted them pictures and wants to make presents for them. He told the lady at the furniture store (we bought bunks for them) that he is getting two new sisters. I am enjoying decorating a room for teenage girls. I will post a picture when I have it done- if its ever done! I think I could keep adding cute things in there for a long time.
