Last week was quite eventful. Chad had the new VP in town and in the midst of meetings and dinners - one of our closet doors fell on his head. So after sitting down to eat dinner, as a family we spent another evening at the ER. Nykolas seemed very concerned that his daddy might get more attention than him at the hospital so he was pointing out his scar to all the nurses just to make sure the limelight didn't shine away from him for too long. I was a little afraid that it might turn out to be such a hassle with both kids while Chad was being stitched up but both were wonderful! Here is a picture of them pointing to their own 'boo-boos'.
We have learned that our next 'home' will be Okinawa, Japan. We will be moving there in January or February. The Lord is being gentle as our team members here, Adrian and Bambina Arce will be joining us. Adrian and Bambina have three really great kids. Being a team with them will be wonderful....not to mention they were missionaries in Japan for six years, are fluent in Japanese and Adrain is a professor of Japanese culture in their home country of Argentina! Please pray for us as plans fall into place.
Mia is so close to crawling! She is now getting up on her knees and rocking back and forth....lots of time on the floor to practice has drawn Nykolas' attention to her more and more. He seems so much happier when she is on the floor with him....I just have to watch him as often he ends up wrestling her flat! I wonder how much he is going to like her when she can get his toys away from him....hmmmmm....I see conflict ahead. And Nykolas has figured out that if he wiggles his crib enough and pushes it to the bed he can use the bed to climb out!!! I have been awakened several times this week to knocking on his door and "Mom! Mom!" being yelled out.
