seriously, these kids are so cute! and who knew that a box of packing peanuts could be so much fun and such a mess!

and ofcourse the prize of the day (i don't think anyone else cared all too much)

can't give this a caption, other than look at the wax in jonah's ear

I am so thankful for the prayers of many. last week was just plain awful. chris was working a lot and i was overwhelmed with children. i was doing it all on my own. but through the power of facebook(sarcasim), it became obvious that i needed some "help". in one day i received two phone calls. one from dad. we had a great conversation and i was able to be venerable and tell him where i was really at. another from a fellow ireland team missionary friend (we grew up together). we talked for 45 minutes, it was great!  had a play date with a wonderful christian mother of young children. she spoke truth in love. and dropped a commitment. it needed to be done!
