Hannah & my dear friend, Tamara. I was Tamara's camp counselor many years ago .. now she is a married woman! I love you, Tamara - thanks for hanging out with Hannah!!
Picking up Girl Scout cookie orders
* Hannah's blood counts continue to climb --- Thank you, Jesus!! Yesterday her labs came back as follows: wbc 6.0, hemoglobin 9.6, platelets 57k. Just remarkable from year ago when she was fighting Typhlitus & we were wondering if she was going to survive that huge medical set-back. Each day of life for Hannah is just an amazing gift!!
* Hannah & I went on a camp retreat this past weekend. It was snowing like crazy while we were up in the mountains & she LOVED playing in the snow (without a jacket most of the time!?!?). She has tons of bruises from the snow ball fights but she had a fantastic time!
* Lily's first Chinese lesson went really well. It was like playtime with a Chinese speaking babysitter but Lily loved Elaine so I know it will be a good thing each week. And really at Lily's age, playtime is all we are going to be doing right now! It was hilarious when Elaine would tell Lily certain words & Lily would repeat them back to her but would add a very clear "NO" in front of the word. So funny!
* Hannah's Girl Scout cookie sales rocked! We just finished the pre-ordering season & she sold 265 boxes! Can I just say she was over the moon!!!! I think 50 boxes were sold here on the blog .. thank you to everyone that ordered to support Hannah! Thank you to Sunja & Jenn for really helping Hannah out with extra sales!!!!
* Lily's doing a sleepover at Auntie Mom's house tonight. When we pray, the first thing Lily will pray is: "Thank you, Jesus, Auntie Mom". The Slazas' are deep in Lily's heart & it is so dear to see how much she loves them all! I am so thankful for the forever bond that has been formed since the day Lily came home! What an incredible blessing!!
"Sing praises to the Lord, O you His faithful ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning."
Psalm 30:3-5
