Family Update

I've been reminded by several folks that I need to update the blog, so here is a quick update. I thought that I would share some of Khoa's progress using his English. Here are a few phrases that we have found to be quite funny!
Mommy, my nose is coming out = runny nose.
Mom, whats tis? (as he points to his frank & beans) My peenee?
Yea ah did = Yes, I did
Spobby goo = Scooby Doo
I luf hew = I love you
Goplane = Air plane
Doobies = boobies (thanks Betsy! You are grounded...FOREVER)
ting ting = something
goggie = doggie
I see snore = I see more

dry hands? = he wants to wash his hands
Noonea = Narnia (he loves the "talking horse" who says "My name is Phillip")
Khoa was licking his lips and they were getting chapped. We told him to stop and -- His reply was "I can't stop"!
Mommy, see Khoa = Mommy, look at me!


There are a bunch more, but I just can't think of any right now.

Here is a video of Khoa that I took this evening. I thought it would be fun getting Khoa saying goodnight.....sorry that it is so dark, I obviously needed more light, but you can still hear his sweet voice just fine:




A few weeks ago Erin (our oldest) participated in the annual "Powder Puff" football game. Juniors vs. Seniors. She is a Junior. It didn't go that well. They got beat.....35 to ZIP!


Erin is right behind the line marker person. She is looking at the cheerleaders and is standing by the girl with black long sleeves. Hard to pick her out, I know! I didn't get any good shots! Loser Mom!

They all had fun and the cheerleaders were hilarious. Nice outfits guys! Those skirts will never be the same!


A few days ago, Betsy and my Mom and I went for a walk at our local state park. We came upon this very funny looking bench and of course, Betsy had to pose. She's so funny!

We are all doing great and enjoying the fall weather. I will hopefully have some new pictures of at least Betsy and Khoa to post after this coming weekend. We are headed to KY for fall break. Erin has to stay home for swim practice. :-(

Please say a prayer for our friends who are in Vietnam right now adopting their baby girl. They have been told that they may not be ready to come home for at least another two weeks. They have already been in-country for 12 days. They have two precious boys waiting for them back home and they are missing them something awful. Please pray that somehow things would move much quicker than expected so that they can come home soon!!!
