Update...

Where have we been... is the subject of many emails that we have received these days...

Well yes I am back from Cambodia and the boys survived and actually did fabulous without mom... I sure did miss them and left a little piece of my heart in Cambodia... and have so much to share with you... God is so good and so real... I will be back to share with you more about Cambodia but I am still processing the 1700 pictures (I am not exaggerating) we 7 ladies took in 4 days...

A little update on Pierce... he did great when I was gone but when I got back he took a couple of days to warm up to me again and after lots of chats (about his attitude) it finally came out he was a little mad that I left.  Poor guy but I showed him some pics and told him how much I loved Him but that I also loved God and that I was called to serve Him in Cambodia and so I went... and Pierce said that is like David when he was "called" to kill Goliath.  Just love that little boy.

Some cute stuff Pierce has said lately:

His Sunday School teacher emailed me and said that they asked the kids questions and here are some of Pierce's responses...  "what would you do if you had a friend that didn't go to church?"  Pierce said, "tell them church is AWESOME and we build things."  :-)

Another question:

"If I wanted ice cream but there was a long line..."  what would you do?  (trying to get them to say, "be patient and wait my turn." 

Pierce said, "I'd go to another ice cream shop."  This makes me laugh every time I read it...


Just yesterday Pierce and I were walking to the library after school and he said hey mom I learned today what a Chinese Soldier says when he wants to say hello... I said What... he said "Audios Amigos" while saluting... either the soldier is confused or Pierce... which one?


I have told you about the "milk" conversation before but Pierce is starting to notice that girls are different than boys... which I know is normal but I am not ready for it... the other day he pointed to a lady (who will remain nameless) and said "she is about to have a baby" and then I said why bc she did not have a big belly "and he said because she has milk (referring to her breast)... I just said that is interesting and changed the subject...


Last one... Pierce has a reward chart at school where he either moves up or down depending on his choices throughout the day... Pierce is notorious for moving down (not up) so we have been spending a lot of time at home talking about making choices and what to do when you don't know what choice to make... first pray and then look at the only girl in the class (bc she always moves up) and do what she is doing... so the other night Pierce prayed this at night "Lord thank you for you... please help xxx (girls name) to move up tomorrow so I can follow... I love you Amen"... Just when I thought he was not getting it... 

I wish I could remember all the things he says... but until then I hope you enjoyed...
