My house there was off of Bayou Liberty Rd. But, I did not grow up there. My hometown (and where I still call home) is Natchitoches. I miss it, my Dad still lives there as do all of his family. My 19 year old daughter is there, going to Northwestern State University (see "Our college girl" picture at the bottom of our blog). I couldn't live or work there,though...no jobs.Heidi and Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302679755368904534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355190028417630847.post-31727983812179647332008-06-17T08:47:00.000-06:002008-06-17T08:47:00.000-06:00Off in a propped up laptop, far far away in Washin...<B>Off in a propped up laptop, far far away in Washington DC a neice responds.</B> <BR/><BR/>We're <I>so</I> excited to have found your blog/site! We being Mom and I. Today Douglas and I have herbal infusions (IV treatment) to go to pretty soon here... but I'm curious as to how I can start helping one of the Ukrainian orphans. By help, I mean give them letters, clothes, maybe even a phone? I woke up today rather energized -which is unusal for me- and I think it's God. I've been needing something to <I>do</I> besides my studies, writing and <I>*blush*</I> playing with my dolls. <BR/><BR/>Also, my Dad's parents are coming over and they're very crafty. In a good way! We wanted to make some special things for Luba and Tanya; is there anything the girls' bedrooms are lacking? I thought to paint up a small shelf with their names on it. Other suggestions are more than welcome, God's blessed us (or maybe, just me ;-D ) with a lot of time on my hands.<BR/><BR/>Love you loads!<BR/><B>Amanda</B> (& <B>Susan</B>, <B>Doug</B>, <B>John Edwards</B>)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355190028417630847.post-71666030078106069062008-06-17T07:34:00.000-06:002008-06-17T07:34:00.000-06:00Felix-You are Robert sound like you would get alon...Felix-<BR/>You are Robert sound like you would get along splendidly! Where in Louisianan are you from? I grew up in Slidell, just above NO. My sister-in-law is from Chalmette.<BR/><BR/>I so enjoyed talking with Heidi the other day. Your willingness to consider all that God may have in store for your family is encouraging to us. We're excited to follow your summer with these two lucky girls!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942021817609798741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355190028417630847.post-40181441296719976162008-06-16T16:57:00.000-06:002008-06-16T16:57:00.000-06:00I just have to laugh with you...all the plans we m...I just have to laugh with you...all the plans we make, and God has His own. But I am so excited when we (and I mean all of us) relinquish control of the reins and let Him be the guide. The ride becomes so much more exciting than when I'm doing the driving. :-)<BR/><BR/>Praise God that He has given these sisters a home for the summer with such neat people. I look forward to meeting them! And I'm thrilled that He has given you two more kids to love on as you wait for Zina and Rimma. I often feel that my own heart has room for many, many kids! :-)Debora Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947148491137183181noreply@blogger.com
