Picture Blog: Home Life

I don't have the energy or time to sit down and write a blog so this week we have a picture blog. Just a quick update: All of Gabe's blood work, genetic testing, and stool samples came back normal. Praise Jesus!

Prayer request: We've been trying to et Gabe's insurance started but we received a denial letter in the mail this week. It was denied due to a mistake on their part, but apparently that doesn't matter and we still had to file an appeal which can take 90 days. I had to cancel his important appointments, the ones that take months to get into. We can't start therapy or do anything until we get this figured out.  Meanwhile, we have doctor bills rolling in from the appointments we already had that we thought would be covered. Please pray that the appeal will not take 90 days and that  Gabe will have insurance soon. Thank you, friends. We love you!

 Gabe has recently found his eyes and has been pressing on them. I blame the eye drops.
                                         Gabe loves you!


                                            His thumbs pretty much stay soggy all the time!
                                           Big sister love.

                           Gabe is touching and feeling the grass on  purpose. This is huge!
                                          These are blurry but so good! Daddy is the best!
                                               Don't worry, it's not as hight as it looks.

                                            Another day, another window to climb.
 I think this face is so funny. I was trying to get a good pic of his t-shirt but this is the best I could do.

Bethel Part 2

Well, Abby let me know that I need to write another blog. There is just no time! I am busy with Gabe all day long and during his nap time I try do do all the housework that needs to be done. It is very much like having a baby. He needs to be entertained, I can't turn on a cartoon for him to watch while I get stuff done,  he doesn't really care for toys, and he won't walk around on his own much at all.  Whew! Toddlers are exhausting, but I wouldn't change a thing!

So, this is Part 2 of our Bethel visit. Enjoy these pictures, and don't miss the special little guy at the end.

                                         Gabe wasn't into it.
The Bethel mamas. they were so sweet, you can see the love.

This is Yong Qiao (Charlie), there is just something about him. I LOVE him! I have always loved him from the very first time I saw him. How adorable is he!? We got to see him briefly while we were visiting Bethel and he was just giggling away and so happy.....and he needs a family! If you or someone you know might be interested in adopting an adorable 5 year old boy,  just ask me for details on who you can contact for more information. Blindness isn't scary,  these special kids just need a chance to thrive! Check out Bethel China's website to see all the kids that have adoption paperwork ready are waiting for families.
