handsful

In spite of the undesired outcome of Tuesday, we remain hopeful.  Afterall, God is, and always will be, in control.  He chooses our leaders, for His reasons alone.  We can rest in that, no matter the circumstances of this life.  On to better topics…

Lainey’s big sisters poured a whole bottle of bubble stuff in the bubble machine today.  That’s a LOT of bubbles.  Lainey decided she’d go head-first in for a quick taste. 

Feeling a wee bit sticky now, little one?

Ahhh, that’s better.  Bubbles to wash off the…bubbles?  Abbey takes full advantage of the baby wash in the bath water. 

Did I mention that our 2 year old is now addicted to Youtube?  I was reading one of my fav blogs (salsa in china…on the sidebar), and she listed some of her twins favorite Youtube videos.  I happened to have Lainey on my lap and showed her a couple.  That was all she wrote…now, if she sees me sitting at the computer, she’ll climb up and quickly sign “go”.  That means, pull up the “Wheels on the Bus” video NOW!  She loves it.  We also discovered she has a love for The Wiggles, which Randy is so thrilled about. 

In other news, both EJ’s baseball team and Abbey’s softball team are in 1st place in their divisions.  Woo hoo!  Abbey has 4 more regular season games, and then their playoffs.  EJ has 1 more regular season game, and their playoffs will begin.  The schedule of getting to practices and games is about to wear me out, but once we’re there, it’s so much fun. 

Lainey does great at the games…she sits in her stroller for a while, usually snacking or having dinner.  When she starts to get a little fidgety, I pull out a small lollipop…that’s not bribery, right?  Then, her brothers and sisters (whoever is available) take turns letting her play and run around.  After a life filled with day after day in the same room in an orphanage, she has easily transitioned to life in our crazy fun household.
