Luana, Steve, Mary Cochran and Tammy out on a walk

Hellen with Donei~He loves her and she loves him
Luana and Alyssa





Stephanie is sick.............poor thing! She has been up all night throwing up and still can't keep anything down. We are having to force her to drink so she doesn't dehydrate.
Steve took Donei into the colony today to work out at their gym. At first I don't think Donei was over excited that his Dad wanted him to go, but when they returned home it appeared it was a good bonding time between them and now they are planning to join for the month.
We have been taking a lot of walks here because CLM is located on a big farm and there are many dirt roads that lead to different farms. Its funny because when you get ready to go on a walk here, ALL the dogs (maybe 7-8 dogs) all coming running to join us on our walk. Plus a few children start following you.
We had over the Cochran kids last night so Mike and Mary could enjoy a evening to themselves for awhile. They went out to dinner in the colony and then "Sneaked" back to their house for some alone time without kids. We entertained the children after dinner by making cupcakes and decorating them with all kinds of candy and toppings. Today we made some more cupcakes to donate to "snack time" here at CLM for the children.
Jenna and Lindsay Cochran
Missing you all back home!

  3. Tamm...gosh I'm just shaking my head here. Yes. I DO REMEMBER THE TEARS! I do remember the anxious yet FAITHFUL anticipation. I wondered what the airport meeting would be like. I just love the picture of Donei hugging you...his head on your shoulder! Ok--cried at that one. Then the picture of you holding Luana (SOBBED AT THAT ONE)--Steve with her today--Aly and the kissy face...Steph with Donei and Aly...OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE THEIR EXPERIENCING THE MANY MONTHS OF PLANNING, HOPING...Living out your faith. Any chance of sending a few pictures and a plea to the judge? Just askin'.

    HAS DONEI BEEN SHOWN PICTURES OF HIS NEW HOME? ROOM? SCHOOL? CHURCH? If you don't have them I'd be glad to be photographer and send them to you.
    Love you- miss you- praying for you.

  4. Hey guys --when you get a chance, take some photos of the dogs out on a walk with you. Glad to hear Stephanie is feeling better. Your blog gives us a vivid image of CLM. Keep up the good work Tammy! Too bad Mandrell isn't over there --or else you two could turn this blog into a novel!!!
