... of picture catch up

I am going to try and do this post before Selah wakes up from her "morning nap" (which is basically just a continuation of her night time sleep and the best situation we have found for keeping her well rested and happy throughout the day).  This is just a crazy amount of pictures: beware enjoy!

First day in Boise: Walking to Municipal Park



"Pubbing" on the couch with cousin Silas.  
 This is a term Bopa Scott has coined for either being hit with pillows or thrown into pillows.  Needless to say, these boys love it.

Meeting Aunt Shelly for the first time!

Aquarium with Grandpa Dan, Grandma Barbara, Aunt Shelly, Aunt Hilary, and Silas:

 Hilly feeding the fish
 Abram didn't really care about the fish, he just wanted to "drive boat".  
 Petting the stingrays.
 Grandma Barbara was off to the side getting Selah to smile - obviously succeeding.
 Aunt Hilary feeding the birds and the aquarium.
 Extreme close up (Daddy's favorite thing to do).


 Pink twins.
 "Praise the Lord"
 So glad we got to spend some time with Shelly, who was in town from the DC area.  

Labor day weekend trip to McCall:
 Reading with Aunt Hilly

 The newest member of the Heist family, Tessa.  Sweet girl.
 Gigi love.
 Hand  me down pants from Silas might have been just a bit too big at this point.
 Scooping with Silas.
 About to drive the boat with Bopa.  Finally!  Abram got his wish :)
 Silas.
 Hilly and Tess.
 Silas' turn to drive.
 Selah decided she didn't want to drive.
 Sweet boys.
My men who hate to stay inside for too long in this beautiful place.

Sorry that was a quick picture hit, but I want to keep up with them as much as possible during this time.  Maybe sometime soon I'll have time to write a post about what it is like to be traveling with two small children and not staying in one location longer than three weeks.  It is definitely post-worthy.

Until then... Happy Labor Day!

... of the tipping point

 I haven't blogged in so very long, I can't remember when and I'm not going to stop this thought train to go and check. Suffice it to say, it's been awhile. But I showed up here to share (and document) a major event in the life of our family.  Before Moses came home, I would see adoptive families posting about their kiddos' "Tipping Point Days". I recently heard it called something else as well, but I'm too tired to think of it right now. Basically, it is the day when your adopted child has been with you for as long as they were not  with you. For kids that were adopted at 1 or 2 or 3, that seems to come quickly and maybe feels eventful, but not monumental. Well, when we got custody of Moses he was about 4 years and 9 months old. I remember coming back to America and seeing someone in my adoption group post about their 2 or 3 year old's Tipping Point Day and thinking I should figure out when Moses's would be. So I did. I sat down and figured ou...

... of a patent

... or maybe, just maybe , I'm jumping the gun :) A good friend told me the other day that she and her husband have been leaving church after the worship because she can't sit for an extended time in the folding chairs. Our church did a great thing and bought inexpensive folding chairs for our sanctuary in order to 1)save money and 2)be able to use the empty room for community type events in the neighborhood during the week. This is awesome. I support their decision and so does my friend who is leaving after the worship (and watching the previous week's sermon from home). But she is pregnant. She already had back problems and now (of course!) they are worse. My back is just starting to bother me and I know that there are many pregnant women with back problems and normal people with back problems who whimper inside a little every time they enter a room and see folding chairs. Until now, I had just sort of reconciled myself to the fact that sitting in a folding chair was ...

...of big changes

Let's start with a cute picture of Abram and Selah in Spain: Adorbs. Now... I posted earlier today while I was waiting to see a rheumatologist in Dubai. I had been referred by the ortho doctor I had seen in Fujairah on multiple occasions over the last few months for my finger and back problems. My sister is a dermatologist and knows that I have had psoriasis for years and she also thought I needed to see a rheumatologist.  Just in case you aren't aware, psoriasis is basically an itchy skin condition. Basically. But there's actually more to it than that (which I wasn't even aware of until very recently.) It is a chronic auto immune problem. My body's immune system (for some undetermined reason) attacks healthy skin cells and it results in itchy patches of skin. Pretty awesome, right? In about 20% of people with skin psoriasis, the immune system will also start attacking the joints, which is why I found myself in a very nice rheumatologist's...
