Little Update

Do you ever have a month or a few weeks where life just explodes?  Welcome to September for me.

September began with school starting for the girls and Chloe's 5th birthday. I actually did get pictures of the third day of school as well as her birthday but I got a new computer two weeks ago and the pictures have not been transferred yet.

We left for a "three-week vacation" in America on Sept. 12 and have since learned that we will probably be in the U.S. through at least the end of October maybe even into November. (More on that in a moment)

My youngest sister got married on Sept. 16 and we are proud to welcome Uncle Asa into our wild and crazy family.  Hang on Asa, you haven't seen nothin' yet. haha

Last friday we took our oldest daughter, Chloe to the pediatrician for an evaluation.  Chloe has always done things in her own way and in her own timing.  After a thorough exam by the doctor, she determined that Chloe is at least a full-year behind in her growth and development.  We will be seeing multiple doctors over the course of the next month to determine any underlying causes as well as to determine a course of action that will hopefully include our swift return to Taiwan in November.

This weekend we will be heading to Branson, MO for a fun day at Silver Dollar City with Jeff's family and next week we will start our string of doctor's appointments for Chloe.

Our internet connections are a little spotty so it is taking us longer than usual to respond to emails and check our voicemail. Sorry if you have tried to email us and we haven't responded.  We are hopeful things will slow down a bit after this week.  I'll send another update when I get a chance.

Until then- it's great to be in the US where everyone knows what I am saying.

Heather, having you here is great!Especially coming home from work to find dinner almost ready(lol). It really is a bitter/sweet combo with your unexpected extended stay. Good for me in that I get to spend more time with all of you. Bad for you and Jeff with all the frustration of not knowing when your life will return to your "norm". I guess the best thing to do if just to pray that God's will be done.
