Two Cold Boys

 

We went to the Zoo today and the boys played in the sprinkle park area. They were about to freeze, but had a good time.

What some handsome boys

 
 
 

Here are some shots of the boys in the yard today. It's a hard job to get Van to smile for his picture, so as you see he's not smiling in these. Race has been at the basketball court most of the day, as most days.

Time for a Haircut

 

 

 

Van just got a haircut from Dad the Barber and Race is next on the list. Van started crying hysterically when Keith got out the clippers, he's usually not afraid of things, but I guess he wasn't ready for his haircut.

Tomorrow is the last day of School!!!!!!!!!! Keith's parents will be here tomorrow to visit with us for a while.

We plan to get out some next week and go to the zoo and maybe visit some parks, that is if the weather's nice, which it hasn't been lately.

The boys have been gracious this week to let me sleep in a little, I have been sick and they've worked with me for the most part. Van wasn't too fond of Race changing his diaper and dressing him.

Who are you calling nasty?

 

Van really enjoys his food! He likes to dig his hand into the yogurt container to make sure he didn't waste anything. He has been really aggravating his big brother lately, he still likes to yell, a lot!

Race is really looking forward to his buddy, Isaiah, coming to visit in less than a month. Wow, three boys for three weeks, hopefully I will survive. Let's hope the weather is nice, because I am going to make sure they are outside as much as possible. They like to wrestle and roll around in the grass, climb trees and play basketball.

I don't know

 
 
 

We went to Bardstown and to Stephen Foster Park today. Here are a few pics from our outing. We walked around the park and then walked around the town and had lunch at another park. One photo is of Van shrugging his shoulders to say, "I don't know." You can ask him where mom or dad is at and he'll shrug those shoulders, even if were next to him. Race was hiding from grandma in his picture. The last photo is of two tired boys from a day of walking around. We had a nice time.

HALT!!

I only buy a newspaper on Sunday for the coupons, but Keith came home with the newspaper yesterday. He wanted to read about that guy in Austria that held his daughter captive, etc. There are sick folks in our world today! Keith read the article and then glanced through the rest of the paper and saw a column about Vietnam halting all adoptions from the U.S. I think the reason being that the U.S. is afraid there may be some under dealings going on in Vietnam to make these kids available. If you live in another country I think the process is a lot easier with Vietnam, than being from the U.S. and their restrictions, which I am sure are for the good of the child. I can see the faces of the kids that were in Van's orphanage, their chances of being adopted have narrowed now!

We are working on a trip to Southeast Asia again. Van was mellow on the trip home from Vietnam, but I think it will be a different story this go around and no, we are not on an adoption trip, at least not for now.

My parents will be here in two days, the boys always have a good time with them.

Exploring Vietnam

 
 


These photos were taken at the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam. My memory card went bad with some of my newer photos, that's the reason for all of the old photos lately.

The boys are doing fine. Van can drink out of a cup and not spill it all over himself. His yelling has ceased for now it seems, which is wonderful. We are loving the nice weather and spending a lot more time outdoors. Van is really jabbering, just wish I knew what he was talking about. He keeps messing with the mouse and hitting the keyboard, so it's hard to type.


The boys are looking forward to a visit from their Grandparents in the next few weeks.
