Today is my official last full day of spending time with my new two loves, Amos and Story. It is super bitter sweet for me. I have LOVED EVERY minute with these two kids. Even when Amos was sick and lazy I loved just looking at him and touching him. Even when his hugs weren't returned I just loved the opportunity to feel his body in my arms. I am also so ready to see Aaron, Cayden and Deacon. I miss Aaron lots and it is hard to know that I'm experiencing all this without him. He is awesome for allowing me to do this because I know he would want to be the one here too!
Tomorrow we'll leave here early and my plane doesn't land in Nashville until midnight. UGH. LONG day for me!
Today we're just hanging out. Story is sleeping now and Amos is helping me type this entry!!!
Amos has something to say to you:

That must be creole!!
Amos got a bath this morning and loved it. He would crack up when I would pour the water over his head. We warm up water for the kids and I will tell you that the water is C-O-L-D and it makes me take the quickest showers that I have ever taken! Last Monday night at home I took the longest hot shower because I knew it would be my last for a week.
One thing that is so funny about Amos is that when he is eating candy he will put them all in his mouth and then spit them out and then eat one at a time. Who knows why he does this. Maybe he is used to hiding his food from the other kids to make sure they don't steal it!
Well Amos has a stinky and so I'm off to clean his diaper and I'm sure Story will need a bottle soon. I LOVE being their mommy for one week!
I have had an upset stomach all night and this morning. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience. Nothing's coming out either way I just feel super nauseated. 🙂 Lori just hooked me up with some medicine so hopefully I'll feel better soon!
I would love to get together with you when you get back! I want to hear all about them!!!
about amos spitting up the food after it’s been in his mouth & then re-eating it… ruby did the VERY same thing! – she’d put a bite in her mouth, let it set for just a sec., then into her hand it’d come, she’d examine it, then back in the mouth it’d go, then she’d chew & swallow – she did this for every bite, not just candy~!!

Right now it is 7:30 Monday morning for me {in the Philippines}, not sure what time it is for you. I have not commented on your trip yet, but I did feel the need to tell you that I have laughed, cried, and prayed with you over the past week. Your new babies are precious and it just breaks my heart that you are leaving without them today. We will continue to pray that the process is complete and quick!
Thank you again for sharing your life…you and your family are an inspiration!

You know Jamie…I know a little Creole. Would you like me to translate for you and Amos?? I think there’s a few typos…but I’ll see if I can read it! 🙂
