Ira and Rita have been living with us for a week now. It has brought about some problems. Haley not speaking English has been the biggest problem. So they are being seperated some. I know she loved being able to speak to them in their language. They were given over 3 days of grace. Then asked to speak some English. Now they all understand the week has been for them to speak their language but not going places. After another discussion English is improving.
We took Rita to get some much needed clothes. Of coarse shopping with 10 kids ....is expensive. Thank you to the kids that asked for nothing....oh...just Andrew.
Troy is really enjoying time with Ricky.
Reality is the 4 bio kids are getting left out of Ricky's time. They are gettinging closer to me.
I had hoped to send Andrew and Rachel to camp....looking at the money, I've told them that it will not be this summer. Rachel did get to go to a horse show in NC with friends. I was thrilled she had the opportunity.
Before Ira and Rita arrived we went to the beach ... 29 of my family members. We had a good time. In the ocean a wave would sneak up and hit us sometimes. If we knew it was coming we would have been prepared. We did not know the girls would be joining us early. If we had known we would have been prepared. God wants us to always be prepared. Not so easy to do. Sometimes we do not know what we are preparing for we are just to stay in the Word of God and be ready for whatever comes our way.
We are working out a schedule for summer. Bejoyfulinhope.blogspot.com
