Low-Key Fourth




1. "Dear Grandma..."
2. Coloring with Ali
3 Sweet!
We kept Gracie in yesterday to monitor her cough. It was a rainy day & the only thing that had to be done was the paperwork for the US side of thhe adoption for Gracies' Passprt &Visa. Poor little one...She is crying so hard in her passprt photo! :(
She is such a little copycat. If she sees us eating something, her had is immediately out for her portion. She was "typing" on the computer, coloring with Ali and using the TV remote. She would aim it @ the TV & clap for herself making sure we all were watching. We attempted a bath w/o much success, but Daddy came through by taking her into the shower with him. She loved it, and I feel like she's "officially clean!"
We decided next year we will celebrate the Fourth of July like we never have before. We're all getting pretty homesick and are literally so grateful to be Americans. Our Independence Day dinner was Papa John's Pizza!
I am so gateful to God this morning. After coughing half the night, Gracie is sleeping soundly. It seems it may be an environmental thng. She is from a coastal, small city (We are in a very polluted city of 12 million) and she has never been in air conditioning before. Last night we turned the air off (Oh, a paren'ts love) and gave her Zyrtec before bed. We prayed into the night for healing and we are choosing to believe God for this.
