Busy beavers...

Sometimes I feel as busy as a beaver... this past weekend was a whirlwind of chaotic, amazingness. We are working on our kids having sleepovers with their grandparents. Friday night was their second one. The get to alternate between my mom and stepdad and Hubbs' parents, every other weekend. It has worked out nicely thus far. I felt like I would worry needlessly, stay up all night wondering if they were keeping people awake... but, they've done well and couldn't wait to push us out the door when it was time for us to leave them there. Ha! I try to take it nicely. ;) hahaha... Saturday, we had a surprise 70th birthday party planned for Hubbs' gram, and it was so much fun. we had made a 50's theme and people had some amazing costumes. Gram loved it. Smashing success! Sunday, we were able to have the blessing and honor of having Pastor Rigaud, from Kingdom of Kids Orphanage speak at a local church here in Maine. It was awesome! There were over 180 people, over half were adoptive parents who are adopting from KKO. It was an amazing experience. To meet these people, see their children, their love, the support... just... wow. And then to hear Pastor Rigaud speak and give his testimony... of how God has challenged him and his wife to take these 80+ orphans (with more coming every day!), take care of them, approve potential parents, help with all our paperwork... just unbelievable, and yet so believable. Does that make sense?? One man, hears his calling from God, listens and obeys and LOOK at all the people who benefit from it! Who are blessed by him and his work. I am in awe. It was an exhausting day, but it was so worth it. To top our amazing weekend off, Hubbs had the day off yesterday and we were able to skype last minute with Big Eyes!! It was wonderful!! He's been asking everyday for his Poppy, which was sad and uplifting to hear. We heard him say "I love you!" in Creole/french. *sigh* It had been over 3 weeks since we had been able to contact them for a skype session.

This Muma's heart is happy. <3
