Josiah is sick!

Well, Josiah went to see the doctor and we found that he has an ear infection! Full blown. Here he is trying to get his fever under control. But, he certainly can multi-task as you can see - being sick and writing! He loves to write. here he is writing after his Mommy signed to him (in ASL) "MY MOM LOVES JOSIAH" and he would quickly write out the English! Go Josiah!

Bekah's brave moment

Bekah had her blood work done today.  There were a total of 4 different blood tests.  Through these blood tests, we hope to find out what exactly she is allergic too. 

Since our last visit with the doctor, her skin has cleared up "a lot". Thank you Jesus. Thank you too for those who have been praying for her.

Ye-Ye (Chinese for Grandfather) is 83!

Meiching's father will be 83 years old this year. We had a great birthday celebration for him. We surprised him. We were all singing "Happy Birthday" (including Ye Ye) and when we got to the "happy birthday dear _____" and we all screamed "YE-YE" he was very shocked!

He's an awesome man of God - a wonderful father, grandfather and the best father-in-law a guy could want!

A Weekend in Orlando

We ran down to Orlando this weekend to be at a special birthday dinner for Meiching's father. He will be 83 years old! It was great to see everyone. On the way down, it rained a lot. As we got into Orlando, we saw a beautiful rainbow.

















We all went to Sonny's BBQ for dinner and had a great time seeing cousins. Sarah enjoyed her iced tea too!

Sure, Sarah studies hard!

Well, just in case you are wondering, Sarah does have lots of homework in 9th grade. So much so, she tries the Osmosis Method of studying..or is she praying over that work ? This photo was just taken!

So much to do, so little time!

Josiah visits the Audiologist

Well, today Josiah went to visit Mr. Pharo, the audiologist for Duval County Schools. He had a nice time getting his hearing tested. He had to drop a toy in a bucket if and when he "heard" anything. It was an interesting experience for him, for sure. Mr. Pharo was great!

Bekah's Journey to Good Health

Bekah, as many of you know, has struggled with food allergies, eczema, allergies, asthma, etc. We've been trying many new things since summer to try and get a better handle on things. Here she is using ICED WATER to relieve the itching! She's also shown here drinking some great Veggie Juice (thanks to Mommy's new Champion Juicer!).

Pray for Bekah as she endures all of this!

KBBC at Pump It Up

Last Saturday (9/13/08), the children's division of our church, Kernan Blvd Baptist Church, went to Pump It Up. What fun was had by all!

KBBC Youth Crud Night

Tonight was the Youth's Annual "Crud Night" at our church, KBBC. Jonah and Sarah and Leiah attended and some of their friends. They do a lot of crazy things and get really messy! The photos here are of Jonah and Zac Crook being "cleaned up."

I'm sending my love!

I miss mommy!!!!!  While mommy is at california  it just isn't the same. But she's coming home in 2 more days -yay!!!So while she's gone I get to spend a day with daddy because this afternoon my teenage mutant siblings are going to a Youth Event (CRUD Night) and  my other brothers and sisters are going with Gramma for the afternoon!!!!                            

     (P.S I LOVE YOU MOMMY!) 

Yes, we're still painting!

Sarah and Daddy are trying to finish her room (the last to be painted).  They have only one more wall to go!  Sarah picked a nice "lilac" color.

We are having laminate wood floors installed on the entire second floor next week, so we need to finish painting by Sunday night!  We can do it!  (Mommy, who is in CA, will be proud!).

Enjoying the Pool

Well, as Mommy is in California with her sister-in-law Joan (Her brother Davy's wife) attending the Women of Faith conference, Gramma (Len's Mother) is here lending a helping hand.  After a long hard morning of keeping up with the 7 grandkids, Gramma hits the pool for some relaxing.  

These photos are of her and Leiah and of her and Leiah and Josiah.  They just love having Gramma around.

The Family Clown

Well, since we are just starting this BLOG thing, we thought we would catch you up on some of the big events of recent.

A major happening for us was Jonah's graduation from CLOWN SCHOOL - yes, it is official - he's a clown!

He spent months going to clown school and learning magic and various things and is now an official part of the clown troupe!

Blue Tape Goes Where?

The girls said they'd tape their own baseboards for us, but I think they got a little confused.

It takes a Village!

Everyone is lending a hand. Jonah recruited Zac Crook to help him get his room painted. The boys just had to have an "outfit" for the job! There is no getting paint on their bodies!

Laboring on Labor Day

Well, we decided to do some painting today, and we're tackling all four of the kids' bedrooms. We are having laminate wood flooring installed next week and we figured it woudl be perfect time to paint (no need to lay covering down over the carpet!). We also did some moving around. Jonah now has his own room and all three girls are sharing the old boys' rooms (the larger bedroom upstairs) and Micah and Josiah moved to what was Bekah and Meiah's room. Lots of changes.

More to come.

Len & gang!
