Adell-a Bell-a

That's her new nickname...and she is a DOLL! She is blossoming into quite a mobile baby. She isn't crawling on all fours yet, but that doesn't stop her from getting from point A to point B! She continues to be the love of her brothers hearts, both are very proud of her and are still (after 9 1/2 months!) eager to kiss her first thing in the morning. Calvin recently figured out how to give a kiss, so he is eager to kiss anyone these days...as he thinks it's big fun! The picture to the left was taken a few Sunday mornings ago before church. I think the second pic of Adele is hilarious...not sure what she was thinking!!! =)

It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks here in Bangkok. We've been busy with ministry and life with three kids is rarely dull but we also hosted a short term team from Atlanta, GA. They stayed with our family...which was so encouraging and wonderful. It really was. I don't say that because I have to, we really enjoy having people in our home. We had 4 couples come for a week. They did a lot of different ministries from CPR training to our Mom's group/community to pouring concrete in Maahaathai 3.
So, this picture is of Adele with Khun Aree's son, Mario. They are two weeks apart (Mario being the younger). They always have a good time when together. This was taken the day of the CPR training for our mom's group. We had 6 women come...and this coming Monday we are meeting again for another "glum samrap khun mae" (mom's group). Please pray for us as we encourage these women in their role as mom/wife but pray that they would be hungry for the Gospel and for Christ.


I just had to post this picture for the grandparents. She is getting big..and somedays my heart aches because you're missing it and I know your hearts ache, too. My comfort comes from knowing that God is being glorified and when that happens it doesn't matter where we are or what we're doing; it's His fame we are to be concerned about and HIS glory. I am thankful for His grace for the moment! I am thankful for you, our parents, who have loved us unconditionally and supported us faithfully and have encouraged us endlessly and prayed for us fervently...thank YOU for being godly examples to us and for fearing the Lord to let us come here.
Ok, sorry for the little tangent, but Adele is a "belle" and I think you will all agree the next time you see her! (Lord willing)
