two things...

first,
the doctor visits for the children have begun.
isaiah and micah went today.

we found out that isaiah is not too fond of needles.
he turned grey.. and almost passed out.

second,
last night, brody, who is four, said to me:

mom, an orphan is someone who doesn't have a family.
me: yep.
brody: is the bigger girl that we are adopting an orphan?
me: yep.
brody: cool.

he walked away with a big smile on his face.
it is so amazing to me, that at four, he gets it..
even a little bit.
