Winter Bliss
Well it's not a feeling of winter here in Georgia at all. It seems like the past few years it is getting warmer and warmer. We have hit a few weeks here in the 60's and 70's in February! Of course it does not stay that way. The next day it turns bitter cold and temps drop below freezing. My body can't take too many weeks like this without sending my allergies into chaos. I am thinking of taking stock in NyQuil.
Katie and Olivia are getting along more and more as the days go by. Olivia is starting to speak in full sentences (English). She has become quiet the character in our house. Demanding child! Kolbe and Gage are starting ball in a few weeks. They are practicing about 2 or 3 days a week and the first game is scheduled the second week in March. The kids had winter break this past week and poor Kolbe came down with Strep. My little man was so miserable. It took a good 6 days for his temperature to come down to a normal level. He had the common red rash all over his body and a double ear infection. Fun for me! he camped out in our room for over a week. School is back in session and we are winding down to a normal routine.
The end of April could not get here fast enough. Roy and I are heading to Vegas for 5 days. No kids. This will be weird. I don't know what to do without a child hanging on my leg as I walk by or hearing the phrase "I'm hungry, feed me". Roy has a few meetings the later part of the week so I plan on vegging at the pool for a good base tan. It will be nice not to worry about the kids. Roy's mother is taking off the week we will be gone and stying here at our house so the boys and Katie can still go to school.
Posting a few pictures here shortly from the circus last week. We had awesome seats! Front row center. A clown (main one) kept coming over and hanging out on our ledge. I tried to get Kolbe to wake him up on one of his skits but he was not to sure about a guy in make-up.

Which car are you?
A friend sent me a email containing a test to see which car I would be. For kicks I took the test and it's rather funny that I would be a Corvette. The summary is pretty accurate minus not considering myself super athletic. We owned a Z06. Below find the quiz, if you decide to take it pop me a response on the blog as to which car you would be.
I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!
You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.
Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Times running out
A dear friend of mine ask me to post about this boy that really needs a home fast. Below I just copied what she wrote on her blog about him. Please spread the word about this child because he only has a few months for a chance at a family. In China once you turn 14 you no longer qualify to be adopted. He turns 14 in June.
HE NEEDS A FAMILY
This is Grady.He turned 13 years old on June 3rd of this year. On June 3rd of next year, he will age out of China's adoption program and will no longer be eligible for adoption. Sadly, his SWI just submitted his paperwork 2 months ago -which doesn't give him much time to find a family.
You can't see it in this picture, but Grady has scoliosis. It is so severe that is has caused him to be much shorter than he would have been. Apparently he has to place all of his weight on only one of his legs -and we've been told that he cannot feel that side of his body. He walks with crutch like canes....but LONGS to be able to run and play just like other boys his age.
He is living at The Philip Hayden Foundation right now. The people I've emailed with about Grady tell me he is an absolute sweetheart and a great kid. He is desperate to have a family of his own.
I know there are thousands of kids just like Grady, but something about this boy has tugged on all of our hearts here in our home. :) The kids (Andrew and Becca) pray for Grady before every meal and every bed time..without fail. They pray for God to heal his back and for Grady to have a family.
John and I feel the least we can do for this sweet boy is to diligently pray for him and advocate for him. Will you help us do this? Will you join us in praying for Grady? for his back -which will take several surgeries to "fix"? and for the Lord to quickly raise up a family for him?
I'm going to be a bit bold here..would you help us advocate for him too? If you have a blog, would you do a little post about him? or maybe email everyone in your email address list and just let them know that Grady needs prayer and a family? You never know who may see your blog post or read your email and then see Grady's picture and say "oh my! that's my boy!!!"
If you, or anyone you know of, are interested in Grady, please email me at jethalt (@) yahoo (dot) com -take out the parentheses of course! and I can put you in contact with the folks who are in charge at The Philip Hayden Foundation
