Olympics!!!

I keep telling Sam that I might have to quit my job for two weeks because I'm so into the Olympics. I don't think I have watched this much tv in years. The volleyball players are my favorite. I love the way they play the game. Misty May is such a good digger yet she can hit the ball harder than anyone I've ever seen. I'm embarrassed to say I look rediculous watching the games. I am one that is starting to yell and pretend i'm helping while i'm on the couch. Way to go USA.

All I can truly say is Michael Phelps is the most amazing person. I love his story. Its amazing what he has been able to accomplish. It's hard to not notice but he has the most amazing body on anyone i've ever seen. I think he even gives David Beckham a run for his money. I love that he was able to hit all of his goals and bring home the gold for the USA!!

More Pics!

Boys at the bus stop.
Every Thursday they do a street fair where they sell nic nacs and food. There is a band and it's nice to walk around and enjoy outside. Here the boys are having lunch.

Last Week in Minnesota!

August couldn't get enough of this slide.

This is our last week in Minnesota. Although I think we are all ready to be home I am sure going to miss the forever green. Logan has completed a month of intense therapy and has gone from studying words up to a week to being able to say them after 2 or 3 tries. He is learning words like suspicious, Episcopal, presentation, specific. They have him focusing a lot on the s and sh words. He truly is a special blessing in our families lives. I can't imagine life without him.



August has been a trooper to tag along with us walking miles a day and sitting in many waiting rooms. He is a charmer and everyone that meets him thinks he is the cutest thing on earth. Him and Logan work really good with each other. Sam promised to help them make go karts when they get home and they are going to hold him to it.



Being back here seeing the sickest of the sick kids makes you wonder if you are fulfilling your calling on this earth. I sometimes don't know if i'm doing enough for the people in need around me. I always use the excuse that I don't have spare time but if you look into these kids eyes you would make time if you wanted to.



Well anyhow, here are several pictures taken throughout the week. I hope you enjoy.

TGIF

We have been looking forward to Friday all week. Dr. Ruth was taking us go-kart racing. We had an early 8:30 appt and after we finished we worked hard on our 10 pages of phonics books before we could go. We had a blast and although Natalie and August won the first time around, the second time they got stuck with a put-put car that put them in fourth place. Logan won the 2nd round. I dont know if he was breathing at all he was having such a good time. At 6pm Dr. Eddie invited us and another family over to her house for Famous Daves takeout (Sam is probably so jelous). We had a great time playing activities out on her lawn. We saw a new thing for the first time Fireflies!!!!!! We don't get to see them where we come from. Here are a few pics.
