Adoption Day number 7 for Dash


 After Dinner we all gathered to give Dash his gift from Russia.
When we adopted him I tried my best to gather as many gifts for his 18 years as I could.
It was made more difficult to do so for Dash due to our location.
We were only 500 miles or so above the Northern Afghanistan boarder three weeks after the special forces went in. We accually met one of those men at our 25th wedding retreat up in the mountains some years later.
It is a small world really.
 
Dash got to come home to us just the December after the 9-11-2002 attacks on the U.S.
We were unable to get him home until he was 10 months old.
It was four months of not knowing if we would ever get him out.
We had a wonderful Christmas child that year.

THIS IS MY SON.

Look at the grin he lost a tooth today

 
 He was so happy with his child doll in Russian attire.
 
 If any one can translate?
 
The cake was a snaggle because I made Chocolate frosting with making the teddy bear in mind, because of size I grabbed his second choice the Santa. I had the frosting made.
So Santa was just covered in chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
I felt bad about it but Dash did not mind, at least he said he didn't

After Company of the day left we all wnet to Panda express for chinese food.
Asia was the thiem

What a wonderful day, hey try going on line and type in something like translation, I did that when I took a Portuguese class, would write all my stuff down in English than translate it, mistakes where made of course so I wouldnt look so perfect and then make a butt out myself, if I was ever called on...;) just a thought to help make his day that much more special.. Please tell that Mr. Dash of yours I'm so happy that hes in the world, and how lucky he is too have you and your dear hubby for parents.

LOVE, BIG HUGS TO ALL~

happy adoption day. :)

been so busy, but thinking of you.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
