Our Last Couple of Weeks

Sissy has been doing indoor soccer all winter and she's been learning so much!

She had the best coach and the nicest kids on her team. (On a side note, there was literally not one game where she wasn't in the face with a ball)

Our friend came over and fixed a leaking sink.

We dyed eggs. (Junie kept saying we dialed eggs)

FUN!

Sissy only had on an undershirt because I didn't want her to ruin her other one..

Macker was in love with orange.

We made a quick drive to Iowa to celebrate Easter and Cousin Hanker's birthday. Here are all the cousins ready for the egg hunt.

GO MACKER!!

Junalicious!

Hankatron.

Aunt Karoline CHEATING!

Scott helping little bitty Macker.

"Got it!"

Nanny and Papa.

Sissy was the big winner of the bunny hop race.

It was just a little windy...

The birthday boy!

Blowing out 7 candles.

Back to IL for Easter Sunday.

Ready for church.

Then we had our Awana Awards Night! Junie was a rock star Cubbie. When he saw me in the back he did a cool dance move then blew kisses. People laughed, I was proud.
It was Sissy's 5th year in Awana and her FINAL year as a Spark. These are all cute 2nd grade friends!

This is Sissy's friend Hanna and her mom Tenga.

Sis and Hanna go to school together and the are also on the same Awana team. (I'm one of their leaders) Hanna'a mom is from Ethiopia and I offered to take a care package to sister. Tenga has not seen her sister since she moved to America 10 years ago.

The day we arrived in Ethiopia we called her sister and through a translator we were able to give directions to the guest house where we were staying. I gave her the packages and a big hug from her sister!(can you believe how much they look alike?)

Macker graduated from Puggles, June graduated from Cubbies and Sissy graduated from Sparks!!

It finally stopped raining long enough for Scotty to have his soccer game.

We all cheered him on!

Nice face, Goalie!

This is my favorite goal of the day!





Our family participated in a fundraising bike ride. The money raised goes to build houses in Mexico.

Scott and Amelia road the entire 7+ miles. (so proud of her!)

The Gentlemen and I met them for the last 3 1/2. It was a great day!

Our tulips are growing!

A nice family from our church moved into a new house and they didn't want the play set in the backyard so..... they gave it to us. Scott took it apart and moved it to our backyard. Stay tuned for the finished produce.

SIS LOST HER 1ST TOP TOOTH!

But to be honest, the majority of our time is spent talking, dreaming, praying and planning for our precious little Samuel. We're so ready to spend the rest of our lives with him.

We should be hearing from the US embassy soon. Please pray for our family!
