(But not here yet...!) hee hee. :)
Javkhaa has plans to post some recent pics of us here (maybe in our new apartment) but we didn't bring the camera to school today. However, just to alert anyone reading, there will be more coming soon! :)
Until then, here's a picture from earlier this summer: Rose is the wonderful lady we were living with, and her 2 grandchildren and another friend are here with us in the family room.
And here's a picture of us with my mom and Javkhaa's parents when they visited Philadelphia. :) We had fun together at the Perkins near my mom's apartment.
Javkhaa's classes started last night and he has "CORPORATE FINANCE" tonight. That's a tough one, it is said to be the hardest course in the whole MBA program so you can remember that in your thoughts, folks. (And ask that the textbook we ordered online would arrive SOON!) I'm still thinking about taking a class in the Spring, but I havent' applied yet, so maybe I'll wait till summer. It seems like I'm quite busy without adding readings and assignments to my life!
I'll sign off now--it's getting late and I'm tired, but have a quick run to the dollar and drugstore to do before going home. THANKS to everyone for your emails, notes on this blog, and your pryrs. We appreciate each one of you!
love and miss you~

Hi, guys, sorry that it is taking us so long to post our new pictures on our blog. But many things are going on our lives such moving into Regent village, my birthday, camping, job,immigration interview and school. So please, do understand that we weren't able to post those pictures. This semester I am taking 3 classes and today I had one of them which was a real fun and lots of laughter. It is called Teamwork and Interpersonal relations. Guys who teaches this class has good sense of humor and makes lots of jokes in class like I do sometimes. And I enjoyed it a lot. Actually everybody in the class enjoyed, I think.
Let's see. What else is going on around here? This summer break was very busy for us as we went through cycles of business in the USA. So we decided to take some time off from our busy life and we went camping in the First landing state park in Va beach. That was great time, and we had really good time together sleeping in the tent and hiking, swimming, cooking and sleeping in. The park was great place to hang around. Finally, it also good to be back home.:)
We have many reasons to be thankful to God and for His blessings on us. It is like verse from Psalm 67:1-2.
We'll do our best to post those pictures very soon. Now I need to leave since it is 8:20 p.m here. And I am still in the computer lab.
Blessings, Javkhaa
Janelle (Skye's sister), Paul and their cute Katie came to visit us here in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago. We had a great time catching up--and it was the first time they met Javkhaa! Katie warmed up to us before too long and it was fun to take her to the playground here and talk and talk with my little sister (not so little anymore). ;)
On Thursday, March 1, 2007 our precious son Enkhbeleg Samuel was born by Caesarean, at 1.27pm. (Enkhbeleg means "Gift of Peace," and Samuel, "Heard of God.") He was with us for about an hour and a half, and then went to be with the Lord Jesus. Before that time, I helped the nurses to bathe him, and Skye and I took turns holding and talking to him. Enkhbeleg weighed 5 pounds 4 ounces and was 16.5 inches long. He had a double chin and was a little chubby: he looked a little like a tiny sumo wrestler. He cried softly a few times when he was first born, and then simply rested peacefully in our arms. 
I heard our doctor say, “There you are, little one… We’ve been waiting to meet you! Are you ready, Dad?” Javkhaa went to see him and I was praying… I heard a little cry and was asking if that was Enkhbeleg. Javkhaa and the baby came back to me and then I was holding our son in my arms. I knew then that we wouldn’t have too much time with him, but I just wanted to savor every precious moment of it. 
Knowing we would not have too long with our son, we kissed him and held him and took lots of pictures to have and remember this day. The nurses made hand- and footprints, and we also made some hand imprints in soft white clay that we’ll be able to hang up later. Our pastor came to baptize him, Enkhbeleg Samuel. He prayed for our family, entrusting our son to the Lord. He encouraged us with the reminder that our son is now with Jesus, and we will go and be with him one day when we go to be with the Lord, in His time.
So we are thankful that our son Enkhbeleg has been a testimony for the glory of God even through his brief time. We are thankful for the time we had to be together with him and show him our love, and thankful He helped us to make the good decision to have a Caesarean. We’re thankful to our new friends here in Virginia Beach from work, school, church, and the Gideons, who have upheld us continually in prayer and have brought food and flowers and offered to help in whatever ways we need. We’re also thankful to our friend Naty, who came to be with us for Enkhbeleg’s birth and stood with us during that time, and our cousin Amy, who also came and helped tremendously. We’re thankful to others from far away who were praying and are willing to come whenever we have need of them. 
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and Happy Groundhog Day! (Does anyone know if Punxsutawney Phil (America's most famous marmot) saw his shadow or not this year?) ;)
Well, happy new year everyone! :) We're still here in Virginia, still busy with work and school, still missing friends and family far away.
The church we go to here in Virginia had an art festival a couple of weeks ago. Javkhaa volunteered to write people's names in Mongolian script and I helped cut paper for the calligraphers. It was fun to be able to wear our hurums! :)
And here's a picture of us with my mom and Javkhaa's parents when they visited Philadelphia. :) We had fun together at the Perkins near my mom's apartment.
