The Power of Prayer

So every night, we do a devotion and our say our prayers.

We take turns going into each of the girls rooms.

On the night we are in your room, you get to read the bible verse. You also get to ask for prayer requests and say the prayer.

Tonight we were in Elise's room. After we finished reading the devotion, Valerie asked if Elise was going to pray. I told her yes.

Elise said, "Why don't you pray Valerie?"

To which she replied, "Wo bu zhi dao" (I don't know).

"Do you want to try?" I asked her.

"I only know one." She said.

"That's ok." I told her.

"Thank you." She said, "Oh, I know two. Thank you Daddy."

"Very Good!" I told her, "You say the prayer for us tonight."

She smiled and quietly said.

"Thank you Daddy, Rachel, Momma, Sissy, Muffin. Today outside play. Thank you, Nai Nai(grandma), Ayi (Aunt) Lynn, Joshua, Cah-lair (Claire). Thank you Jo-Jo, Jo-Jo Momma, Jo-Jo Daddy. Amen"

Oh how sweet!

No Physical Activity

For a lot of people that sounds like a good thing.

For us,

not so much.

The doctor said that Valerie is not to do any physical activity since her surgery.

These last few days have been really hard.

Take three very active girls and a mom who can't sit still and tell them that they can not do any physical activities for 4 weeks and here is what you get.

Thank you Dad for being such a good sport.

hair

Today we get to

WASH OUR HAIR!

I was a little nervous to wash her hair, but the doctor assured us yesterday that we could.

She has three incisions and lots of stitches.

Some of the stitches are dissolvable, some are not.

We went to the doctor yesterday and they took out all of the stitches and said that her incisions are healing nicely.

So

Here

It

Goes!
