posing!
fun!
welcome to the world of this tired mommy! :) life is good, the kids are great--they're so much fun! yvelle is talking away and tells us exactly what she thinks, especially when she wants something "right now"! ;) josiah is a dear, happy boy who has the sweetest smile and a chuckle that puts a smile on everyone else's face.
since javkhaa graduated in may, we had to move out of student housing in early August. we weren't sure where to go or quite how to plan, since we are hoping to move back to Mongolia (soon, whatever that turns out to mean) and we didn't want to be locked into a year or even a 6 month lease, if such a thing could be found. the Lord put it on my heart and into my head to ask an acquaintance at Regent if we could stay with her and her husband. they had another family with 2 kids live with them about a year ago, and so i just thought it might be possible...
and here we are! it has been a great blessing to us in many ways. moving was an adventure... never moved with kids before. we're so grateful for the babysitting help we had that gave us a little extra time to pack, but even with that, it was down to the wire. without the LATE night help of a few angel-friends, we would have been in trouble. (Lord, please bless all the friends who cleaned, sorted, threw away, gave away, and moved stuff for us!!)
we're about 12-15 minutes from Regent now, so that makes our day a little more complicated than before. i was working in the am, coming home, j was going to work for a while, coming home, and then i was going back to work at the end of the day. that's not so convenient from here.
please pray for J to get a good job! there was one UNDP position he applied for in UB which would have been a good fit, but they didn't have a budget for relocation :/ and it is seeming like they went with someone else.
that's all for now, it's pretty early and i'm fighting a cold so i should go back to bed. :) it's a treat to have the quiet space to post something, though!
