waiting for Daddy to come home.
July 2009 UPDATE: Caleb is quite possibly the cutest 4 year old Chinese boy ever. Really. This is truth. Granted, this IS his mom speaking...but I will say that others have confirmed this as well!
At the time I began this blog, the following was about all we knew of Caleb. I'm happy to say that we know much, much more about him now. We are growing more and more in love with him each day.
Caleb is a three year old boy living in an orphanage in Chengdu, China. He was abandoned at a temple when he was three days old. He has a repaired cleft lip and palate and has never known the love of a family or the name of Jesus. We are waiting for the day we can bring him into our home. He already has a place in our hearts.
Psalm 139:15-16 "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
I have been married for 16 years and my husband still makes me laugh every day. He spends his days working as a physical therapist but would really love to hang out at home with the rest of us all day. We have four children and one waiting for us in China. My kids are either making me laugh our making me crazy-o. My goal is to have more laughter than not each day and even if it makes it by .001% then I'm calling it a good day. I homeschool our kids even though I swore I never would. Our family is looking less and less like the "norm" and I'm ok with that. I kind of like it.

I've been wanting to do a timeline for years too!! How great that you finally got around to it - maybe I'll get inspired once I'm home from China as well!!
And just this week, my almost two year old starting asking for "coolwork" - so cute when they actually ASK for it, right?
Your family is beautiful - Congratulations!!!!!!
Isn't nice to have our kids home and have some normalcy back? I do not know how you do homeschool, but it looks like it works well for your family. That is wonderful! I love Caleb's masterpiece--good use of space and color!
I am a public school teacher, and even when I try to help my 8 y/o daughter with homework, she thinks I'm an idiot...she'd never let me be her teacher in a million years, and I couldn't do it! Tyson is in developmental preschool and in two days, he's doing great! I'm leaving him there next week. Agh!
Julia,
My timeline project has been sitting around for a couple years now too! It's on my list everyday but never gets worked on. Maybe when we get back from vacation.
