Why didn't I do this years ago????
I have a personal chef...yeah I do. There is a wonderful woman who started cooking for me and 2 of my coworkers...and she is awesome! There is just soooo much stress taken off me now. She delivers 3 meals on Monday's and they last the whole week....so now I just need someone to clean my house....or do my laundry.....seriously though if you haven't thought about hiring someone to cook for your family, you should. I get home, heat up the oven pop whatever it is in and 20 min later I have a home cooked meal plus sides....and she makes them all low carb. Yippeee!!! I just wish I had done this years ago....Carlos wouldn't have been able to complain near as often about the fact that I didn't ever make meals....poor guy went hungry.

At one point Amber grabbed my shoulders, got in my face and said, "FOCUS Valerie! FOCUS! Are you focusing?" LOL! Merry Christmas to the other boss in the family! You are good at what you do!

I promise I will try to do better....sooo Christmas. I took ALL of my Christmas Decorations down on the 21st cause I lost my Christmas Spirit. I was trying to hold onto it but I think I had so many Christmases BEFORE Christmas that I was done. My house just seemed like a mess and I got this urge to clean and I took it further than I realized I would when I started. Oh well. We did have fun and we spent it with all KINDS of family. I am excited about the new year. Someone said, "Eight was great but Nine is mine". Yeah it is.

Is this what happens when you think your cat is a girl and you refer to it as Ramona throughout its childhood till you discover - ooops its a boy and then you change its name to Ramone and then Mac A. Roney? Is this what happens when you forget to call it Mac A. Roney and you accidentally call it Ramona? Is this what happens when you constantly refer to him as "her" and threaten to take him in and have his litte weenie chopped off for peeing on the things? Oooops again!

Like or LIKELIKE??
A 10yr old on LIKE vs LIKE-LIKE
So do we like or like like him? And what does that mean really?
So do we like or like like him? And what does that mean really?
According to the younger generation this is how you know if you like or like-like someone...If you LIKE someone when they look at you, you want to just scream. If you LIKE-LIKE someone you look at their picture and you talk about them all the time. You should also be able to look into their eyes and find love. They must also be kind. If you LIKE-LIKE someone you can hold hands and they will hug you. Evidently it is not uncommon for the one that you LIKE-LIKE to be LIKE-LIKED by several others. In fact, you might also find that the young man has 3 or 4 girlfriends...sooo that was very enlightening. I also heard of another young man who was so scared of his other girlfriend that he chose to stay with her rather than be with the one that he truly LIKE-LIKED. Staring at the one that you like all during lunch is how you show them that you like them...God save us from the pressures of 3rd grade...

Day 3 of Kid Week
I have never seen anyone freak out in an elevator like Alexis did. The video is actually the second ride which is why she won't get on. We walk into the elevator, close the door, and hit 3 and as soon as it moves she drops to the floor. She is practically HUGGING the floor. I thought for a minute she was going to throw up...then we got out, went and saw the new baby and on our way back to the elevator I got my phone ready. She WASN'T ready as you will see....she never stood in the elevator....too scary.

Pastor Bike
Petition being delivered
From Voice of the Martyrs:
Thank you for adding your name to the online petition asking the Chinese government to free Pastor Bike. Your voice was heard! Pastor Bike is FREE! On Friday, August 29, prominent Chinese house church leader Zhang Mingxuan, affectionately known as "Pastor Bike," his wife and a co-worker were released from Chinese custody. Pastor Bike was arrested along with his wife and co-worker August 6, two days before the Olympic Games began in Beijing. An outspoken evangelist, Pastor Bike has travelled on his bike to many places in China, handing out Christian literature and Bibles and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Instead of being held at a prison or a detention center Pastor Bike and his wife, Xie Fenglan, and their co-worker were taken to resort hotels on a "forced vacation" designed to ensure that they couldn’t talk to any foreign media. Pastor Bike was scheduled to do an interview with the BBC the day of his arrest.
All three believers are in good health and spirits and praising God for their release, according to our co-laborers at China Aid Association. The detainees said during their confinement they had opportunities to witness to guards and even high-ranking government officials staying at the hotels where they were held.
On August 26, The Voice of the Martyrs and China Aid Association launched an international online petition drive advocating for Pastor Bike, his wife and co-worker to be released. On September 4, China Aid Association delivered the petition — which had more than 57,000 names printed on 619 pages — addressed to Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Washington, D.C. Included was a letter thanking the Chinese government for releasing these house-church Christians.
We are thankful to you and the thousands of others who logged on and signed the petition. Christians in free nations often wonder if we can really make a practical difference for Christians in persecuted countries. Pastor Bike’s release shows that WE CAN!
Continue to pray for Pastor Bike, his wife and their co-worker and for other believers in China.

Look mom! Val lets me play with sticks!! This looks dangerous doesn't it? It was for the cat - in fact, our poor kitty hides from Isaiah cause Isaiah doesn't pet it very softly. More like a hit and a scream....

So sorry - a bit behind since Day 1 was Monday...but you know...I have KIDS now.....Anyway, let me tell you about my mornings....I get up and I make me some chai tea and I sit on the couch. Alexis loves Chai tea. She hovers around me when ever she sees my mug....she asks - whats in there? (Like she doesn't know) I tell her and she asks for some, but its too hot for her to drink. I mean this is a ritual! We go through this everytime I drink the tea. I tell her to put her hand on the mug and she feels how hot it is so she looks at me and asks, "Your not gonna drink it all?" I assure her that I will not. She waits - staring at me - while I drink the tea....she'll come over to me and look INTO the cup to make sure there is still some in there. Then she'll feel the cup again. When she thinks its not too hot she tells me and I let her take a taste with the spoon. If she is good to go then I drink almost all the rest of it and she takes the cup to the table to drink the rest, reminding me to take the tea bag out cause she doesn't like it. I have thought about making Alexis her OWN cup but its more fun to share - and watch her wait!!
