Another Birthday

Two days after Pamela's b-day and it is Lidiane's birthday today. She is 8 and loves it. She got her gifts from the Grandma's that they sent with us. We bought both of the girls a doll. Carol brought some fabric scraps today and Rebekah and the girls made clothes for the dolls. They had a great time. They cut the time short though as Monica asked us to the Hotel again today. We had planned on going to the Zoo, but the rain washed out those plans till a better day. Hopefully tomorrow. So it was a blessing to be able to have fun even though it was rainy outside. Yes, that means we went swimming again. Really the kids swim and I just try to make sure no one drowns. Yesterday we met with Daisy for the last time. She said everything is going very well and believes the children will thrive with us. We got a little more background info so that will (and already has) help us. Also yesterday Karla took Rebekah and Lidiane (Lidi) shoe shopping for Lidi (rhymes with "bridge" with a "e" sound at the end). She liked the 1st pair she tried on. If you think clothes are expensive in the US... come to Brazil. Tomorrow late in the afternoon, we are taking the kids to a Dr to see if the have any intestinal parasites. The kids like to get as much sugar as they can and we have been told it can be a sign of parasites. Any medical people out there can send me their 2 cents worth at drmowry@juno.com. Everything can look good on the outside, but what's inside can be nasty. Sorta like sin. We may have people convinced we are a good Godly person, but God judges our motives. I believe we can even deceive ourselves to some extent. What we do and think should be born out of desire to please God. Just a little morsel to chew... just make sure a parasite doesn't take it away from you. I'm not sure if I will update you on the doctor visit... some of you may not have the stomach for it... I gotta stop or this could get bad. I need to go to bed so I can get up, 'cause the early bird gets the worm.... ok...ok no more. I won't update on the doctor visit.
