So we let the girls go with friends to VBS this week at another church and this is what Ryanne came home with as a prize. Yes you are seeing that correctly, it's a goldfish. Meet Goldie. Now I will admit that at first I wasn't happy with the fact that someone sent my kid home with a pet without asking me. But $40 dollars and an afternoon later I am seriously pulling for this thing to live or Ryanne will be crushed.
On a more exciting note, we are hosting an exchange student from Thailand here in two weeks. A few years back we hosted two girls from Japan and fell in love with them. So this year AFS was in a pinch and needed a couple more host families so I prayed, made the call and then prayed over the profiles and here we are. The minute I saw Napat's (Graph is what she goes by) I had this sense of peace wash over me and I knew she was supposed to be in our home for the next year. If her parents approve I will post pictures of her with our family when she arrives. Can't wait to meet her. Please pray God would give me wisdom as I love on another little girl in our home.
So here is the score so far: 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 birds, a goldfish and 1 exchange student! :)
