I'll post more pix of our lake soon, it's really beautiful at sunset. We fed the ducks and geese today and we asked Wynter what the name of a baby goose is and she quickly replied "A gosling!" Then one of her older cousin's said "Hey, I didn't even know that." Proud parents moment for Christian and I, and if Willy were there he would have felt that "Proud Teacher" feeling he's entitled to for teaching her all he's taught her, including the word gosling.
We had a BBQ today for Labor Day at our place with Christian's whole family over. I asked Chris & Willy what "sides" they wanted me to cook and Chris wanted Spanish Rice, Willy wanted Green Bean Casserole--the two dishes couldn't be more different from each other but I went ahead with it and they were both a hit, thank God! Mei, Willy & Chris were superb helpers in the kitchen and I didn't even have to get my hands dirty chopping onions and garlic thanks to them. :) By the way, we're a full house here. Our fun filled team consists of Maureen, Leona, Liz, Ju Ju, Chris Willy, Mei, Christian, Wynter & I and my brother Danny is here on his way to Taiwan (we're helping him with his fundraising for that), and then there's also a 90% possibility that Christian's sister and her 2 girls will be living downstairs pretty soon so we'll have relative neighbors! There are times when noise makes you wonder about the worth of the "proverb" Less is more, but then there are those other times when you're laying on the floor in the kids room watching them play with each other and staring at their beautiful faces, wondering how each one could be as unique as they are and then it hits you--More is more!! So, here's to having more. More than you can handle... because then God has a chance to do it for you. More than you deserve...because then you feel as small as you truly are. More than you can hope for...because that's when it all falls into perspective that your prayers are really being answered. Day by day, step by step, prayer by prayer. I love you, thanks for your love and prayers. XOXOXO.
