There's nothing the kiddos and I love more than sharing an amazing book together. We have countless favorites and sweet memories wrapped up in each one, it's too hard to choose which we've liked the best. I love, love, love reading aloud to them and I love even more how much they enjoy it. And when they ask "Plllllleeeeease Mama, read to us?" I never can say no! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, there is something a little more special than Mama reading, cause they get to hear that everyday,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that's when DADDY reads. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Daddy is home, he reads often to them before bed when his schedule allows. But since being deployed the children have really missed it...Daddy does all the cool voices for each character... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(WAY better than Mommy does! LOL!)</div>

So their awesome Daddy decided to start recording himself reading aloud and is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sending us a chapter at a time to listen to. The kids are THRILLED!</div>

He sends them to me using Dropbox and I can open them up and play them through the Jambox. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The incredible technology of this day and age and this amazing little speaker brings Daddy's voice into our home from the other side of the world and allows us to share stories together, </div>

I waited until he had recorded several chapters before I surprised the kids with it. </div>

I knew it would be torture for them if I only had one chapter and then we had to stop.</div>

Sure enough, that first chapter ended and there were wails of sadness!...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh no! Is there more? Please let there be more than one to listen to tonight!" </div>

It was pretty awesome for these kiddos to be able to connect and share something with their Daddy while he's so far away. We are thankful for the phone calls, mail and Face-Time too, but this is extra special for them. We have finished all the chapters we have so far and eagerly await more! </div>

<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">When we read aloud they often like to draw or crochet or build, so that's what they did for awhile, while they were snuggled down enjoying every word and then one by one they stopped being busy with their hands and just listened. What a comfort to a military kid to get to regularly be read to by Daddy while he's deployed. Hearing his voice makes him feel not so far away. I'm so thankful for Peter for taking the time to do this! The kids have said many times how this is their very favorite thing and they hope he never stops sending new chapters! <i>(So Honey, there's no foreseeable end to this or you are going to have some disappointed kiddos! Better plan ahead for that next book!)</i></span><br />

So this kinda feels like the first one. Last time, I had one of my best friends at home with me all the time! :) Not to say that the kids and I didn't miss him, or it wasn't hard, but it certainly didn't feel as difficult or lonely when we had the distraction and awesome company of another family with us through the whole thing. And let me tell you, having another Mom in the house all day, every day, was amazing! The two of us tag teamed and handled every kid issue/need, chore, errand or tear and I didn't feel during that whole time the single-parentness that often comes with deployment. Now, I have amazing neighbors around who have offered to help if I need anything or watch the kids if something comes up, and that is so sweet and wonderful, but not quite the same as another live-in parent sharing all the responsibilities of daily life with you.<br />
<br />
So this week I looked at my sweet boys and thought...<i>Wow, they are getting shaggy! </i>and I realized that for this first time in a year I need to take them to get their hair cut...And that I will need to remember to do that <i>several </i>times over the next nine months! That isn't one of the things I'm use to having on my <i>to-do</i> list. Daddy get's his hair cut every two weeks and about every other time he takes the boys and I don't ever see the process, they just come home as handsome as ever, all clean cut. After I noticed this I told the boys we needed to go get cuts and my oldest said, "Yes! Thank you Mom, my hair is getting SO BIG!"...I had no idea he was concerned about it LOL! But Daddy gets it cut so often he's use to it being pretty short. We went to the closest barber shop near our neighborhood and Samuel says to me with a serious face, "This isn't where Daddy takes us." I assured him that they would do just as good of a job at this place, but he wasn't so sure.<br />

Well Samuel was right, it wasn't quite the same. But I think that was my fault! My mind went blank when the lady asked me how they wanted their hair cut. Uhh.....no, I don't actually. So I asked Joshua, "Do you know what Daddy usually asks them to do?" He couldn't remember exactly but told her what he thought it might be. So she clipped away and it turned out alright in the end. :)<br />

So another busy week goes by and haircuts, among other things, are slowly revealing themselves as I realize what is left undone when Daddy isn't home to take care of it. While my to-do list grows and schedules get adjusted to make room for other things, I'm super thankful for my 4 helpers as we feel Daddy's absence, even in the little things. </div>

Inside each were these adorable teddy bears, complete with dog-tags, a camo printed scarf, and some other accessory items to dress them up. Every one of them was given a name in minutes! We now have a "Chaplain Huggie Bear," one called just "Airborne" (LOL!) one who is "General Cuddles" </div>

Peter is keeping it up <a href="http://peteradams.blogspot.com/">(over here)</a> pretty regularly now while he's deployed and it's been fun for the kiddos and I to read about his days.<br />
<br />

<br />
But I have had several inquires from family about how we're doing over here on OUR side of the deployment, telling me now is the perfect time to be blogging so they, and Daddy, can have a peek into our daily life while he's away. So here I am, posting again about this amazing life we've been blessed with, albeit challenging at times, and the adventures we Adams' are having. :)<br />

For those wondering how we're all holding up...We are a few weeks in, and it already feels like it's been MUCH longer! <i>Haha! :) Does that give you a clue?!</i> I know it'll get easier as we get use to our new routine and find our own battle rhythm here at home, but we're definitely enduring a challenging adjustment period.<br />
<br />
The day he left was full of tears and hugs and something no other can really understand unless they've been through a deployment. The most difficult thing for me <i>(after saying goodbye to my hubby for 9 months!)</i> was watching my babies have to say goodbye to their most favorite person, and helping them go through all the emotions of those first days and weeks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gA40bBy9E4s/VsxD7uLKhZI/AAAAAAAAEWQ/-6XKi06vmL4/s1600/File_000.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gA40bBy9E4s/VsxD7uLKhZI/AAAAAAAAEWQ/-6XKi06vmL4/s640/File_000.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
It was a daily roller coaster at first, going from sad... "I miss Daddy"..."Nine months is FOREVER!" ...to anger..."I hate the army!"..."Why does the army have to send Daddy away!?"...to disgust..."It isn't fair that he has to go!"..."I just want Daddy to have a <i>normal </i>job." :/<br />
<br />
Amidst all the emotions were lots of snuggles and conversation about the Army being not just Daddy's job, but what God has called him to, how the soldiers need Daddy and he has to go where they are so that he can serve them and help them. Slowly, the comments changed from pain filled to hopeful, from selfish to selfless. We talked about the things we will be doing here at home over the deployment, what we have to look forward to, and what could help the time seemingly go quicker for us. We brainstormed ideas for future care packages, began making cards and pictures and mail to send. One kiddo suggested praying everyday for Daddy and the soldiers he's serving, another said, "I miss Daddy, but we can't be selfish about him. God wants us to share him so the soldiers will know God loves them." And once again, this Mama is floored that these kids can look beyond themselves and could see purpose and mission in what Daddy is doing and why he has to be gone. -<i> They are the ones helping ME to have a better attitude about it all!</i><br />

<br />
We are surrounded by amazing friends and neighbors who are going through or have been through the same thing, so we have an abundance of support and love here! One example of this love in action was the day we dropped him off, the kids and I came home to the loveliest hug of a care package on our doorstep from a couple of sweet families. It was filled with notes of encouragement, yummy dessert and delicious breakfast all ready for the next day so Mama didn't have to think about what to make, and beautiful flowers to brighten our sad day! Needless to say, coming home to all that made me tear up too...Grateful tears for such a treasure of friends! Everywhere we have lived, God has always provided that, He loves us so much!<br />

<br />
So each of us is handling the beginning of this new, hard adventure in our own way and I'm doing my best to help the kids as their little hearts are aching missing their Daddy. They love to look at pictures and talk about him and the older two especially, love to read his blog and read about what he did each day. Samuel has asked almost everyday to watch old movies of Daddy on the ipad. We have several that I recorded of him singing and playing his guitar and they are everyone's favorite to watch. Sometimes they even turn it on and just listen to it as they are doing schoolwork or chores, and for a little bit it feels like he's just in the other room playing his guitar like he does when he's home. It's nice. I'm very glad for those videos. Especially for this little guy, it's helping him through.<br />

<br />
So to all of those who have asked and been worried about us, thank you for thinking of us, we're doing okay. We are so thankful for the love and prayers of our family and friends. These children constantly amaze me at how resilient they are. On those particularly hard days when Mommy just wants to cry, they let me and tell me,"It's ok to be sad," "Daddy misses you too," or "I think you need a hug"...and they're right! I am amazed at their sweet, grace filled wisdom and I definitely think Peter has the more difficult side of the deployment, at least I have our awesome kiddos to walk through it with me!<br />

A few weeks ago The Adams' finally moved back to America after living almost 4 years (1 month shy) in South Korea. To say we were excited would be an understatement. :) </div>

We had been back to visit a few times over the last several years but it's just not the same as living here. The kids really don't remember much of America since they were so young when we moved to Korea so it's been very fun to watch them discover the differences and see them enjoying this new adventure so much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The trip was long but was BY FAR THE BEST flight we've all had to or from Korea and the US. The hardest part was waiting around in the airport all day for our flight since we had to take the shuttle so early that morning. The kids were troopers though and handled it all so well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first weekend back was Easter weekend and we stayed in Austin with Peter's sister Becca and her family and the rest of Peter's family came into town also to welcome us back to America. It was a wonderful way to start this next chapter of our lives. The kids were all smiles having so much family around to love on them. </div>

We made so many memories and had tons of fun with our Army family. God continues to bless us with amazing friends each year and I love each and every one of them!<br />

Our last performance of Oliver on the afternoon of Christmas Eve was a hit with over 300 people in attendance. Peter woke up horribly sick that day, but no one in the audience could tell he was throwing up back stage between the scenes! His performance as Fagin was amazing and he managed to come out and do each of his songs and scenes, even while being so ill. He just kept telling himself, "The show must go on!"<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Christmas Eve after the show we had our annual party complete with singing carols, Christmas trivia and charades, reading the Christmas story from the Bible, tons of treats to eat and a house full of friends!<i> (Thankfully, by this time Peter was able to get about an hour nap in between the show and party and was feeling much better....just another Christmas gift and miracle from God!)</i></span><br />

After Christmas morning of presents and brunch, we relaxed and watched one of our favorite Christmas movies, Elf. Then in the afternoon we had more friends join us for a delicious Christmas dinner. It was a great couple days of celebrating and fun, and a very Merry Christmas for all of us! </div>

And now....this Mama is tired! I'm glad there's still another week before we officially start homeschooling again. :)</div>

Let me start by saying, this is a long one. But I didn't want to miss a detail!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am SUPER proud of our kiddos. But not for the awesome recital they did with their co-op this week or the amazing job they are doing during rehearsals for their upcoming Oliver musical. Not because they are rocking through their schoolwork or impressing me every other day with the things they have learned in spite of my failings and flaws as a teacher and mother. </div>

Last Christmas, to help remind them of what we are really celebrating, we let each of the kids choose something out of one of the missionary giving catalogs, explaining to them that on their birthdays they get gifts so on Jesus' birthday we want to give something to him. </div>

Of course they asked how we could physically give him anything so we talked about the verses where he says whatever we do for the least of these, we do for him. The kids got it, as simple as that. <i>Why is it so much harder to get things, really get things as an adult sometimes?</i> I remember Joy exclaiming, "So giving to the poor and serving others pleases God. And that is a GIFT to him when we do things that please Him!" <i>Yes it is, my sweet girl! </i></div>

So after they picked out their pair of chickens, some bunnies, a water purifier and some bibles we decided to make a goal for the next year, Christmas 2013. We asked them to choose something they wanted to work towards all year saving up for, to give as a gift to Jesus. They chose, a COW. Now cows aren't cheap. But they really wanted to give some poor family a cow in Jesus' name. We read about what having a cow can mean for one of these families that don't have much else. "Cows pull carts and heavy ploughs, and produce lots of fresh milk to drink and sell. Their calves are sold or kept to increase the size of the heard. Having a cow would mean a steady income for a family that might not otherwise have any." They really wanted to give a cow. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We cut the picture of the cow out of one of the giving catalogs and taped it to a jar, also writing "Happy Birthday Jesus! 2013" on it. We decided that throughout the year when we 'caught' the kids, serving one another, being selfless, doing anonymous acts of kindness for their siblings, helping without being asked...basically the kind of behavior that would be pleasing to God....then they would earn money to put in the jar. There was no set amount for the things they would do, it was very random. When I noticed them being particularly loving and selfless I would let them know how happy it made me to see them treating others that way and reminded them that it made God really happy too. And then I would pull a coin, a handful of coins, or a dollar out and let them drop it in the jar. The amount didn't seem to matter to them, it was all going towards that cow! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this doubting mother's heart was a little worried that they might not earn enough to buy a whole cow by this Christmas, but we never counted the whole year through, we just kept throwing change or a dollar bill in here or there whenever they were 'caught' being an awesome boy or girl for God. They began noticing each other's behavior too and pointing out when they caught each other doing things that would please God. Which was really nice for this busy Mama who would have otherwise not known about some of the great things they did. </div>

For example, one time Joy let me know that she saw Joshua grab our neighbors trash on his way downstairs taking ours out because he saw it sitting in the hall. I waited to see if he would tell me himself, expecting money for the jar but he never did. So I let him know later that night what I'd heard and asked him about it and told him how proud I was to hear of him doing such a sweet thing like that. Our neighbors probably have no idea where their stinky trash went, but his sister saw what happened, and I know God saw it too. </div>

Another time we had been grocery shopping and I was loading the food and everyone in the car and then realized Joy had disappeared. In the moment I was about to get frustrated and upset that she wandered off when Faithy piped up and told me she was returning a lady's cart for her that was trying to get her little kids and baby in her van that was parked a space away from us. Needless to say, the frustration melted away and I thanked God in the moment for a daughter with a heart like that, who saw a chance to help someone and just went and did it. <i>Even if she should have told me before she walked away from us so that I knew where she was. :)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, today was the day. The kids wanted to count. It's almost Christmas and they wanted to see if they had enough for the cow and if not, how much more would they need in a little over a weeks time...<i>Enter nervous Mama saying things like, "Even if you don't have enough, Jesus will be happy with whatever you are able to give him this year." </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all sat on the floor and dumped the jar that was stuffed pretty full and the kids counted with Mama and Daddy's help down to the last penny.</div>

Talk about humbling for this Mama. They did it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And without even keeping track or knowing all year long if they were close or not. God surprised me once again, through my children. How many times did they fight and bicker over the last year? How many days did I think, "Are they ever going to get along?!" So many moments I was disappointed over one of them being selfish or hurtful to their brother or sister. And still, out of all of those bad days, God showed me today how much more good there has been in it all. It's so easy to focus on the negatives, the things they didn't do or the disobedience. But the four of them had really been caught that many times throughout the last year in selfless acts or kindnesses to meet their goal...and MORE! Wow. Just WOW. I feel like I got a little glimpse of how God sees us. Even with all of our sin and every ugly thing we do that must surely disappoint him, He is able to see the good and the beautiful in every one of us in spite of it all. How very blessed and LOVED we are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids are still thinking about what their goal for next year will be and this time, I have no doubt that whatever it is, no matter how great, they will reach it. :)</div>

It's been a long time since I've posted, ten months in fact! But that's not because this year hasn't been blog worthy, it's just been a busy one and blogging wasn't on top of the priority list! I know the great & grandparents have especially missed it though, so here's an update on the Adams family from the last ten months before this year is over! </div>

The last time I posted was Faith's birthday back in February, so starting from there...<br />

Later in February I decided to go adventuring by myself with the kids from Korea back to America to visit a few dear friends and surprise my awesome sister and brother in law.<br />

We jumped right into rehearsals in June also for three different shows that we were involved in with our community theater here that we performed in July. The kids were in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Peter was in both The Complete Works of Shakespeare and Kiss Me Kate, and I got to perform in Kiss Me Kate and do choreography for two of the shows. We loved it! The Adamses enjoy the stage! :)</div>

Our school year doesn't really have a start and stop point since we school year round and take vacations whenever we want/need to depending on what's going on in life, but August usually ends up being the time in which we transition to the next levels or grades in most subjects. This year Samuel has a lot of his own 'school' activities to do. He loves joining the big kids in whatever they are doing. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">And now it's December already. The year is coming to an end and yet there is still so much that will happen before it's over! We have another show with the community theater in a couple weeks. We will be performing Oliver which Peter, Joy and Joshua are all in and I had the opportunity to do choreography for again. We'll have many Christmas celebrations and hopefully official orders soon! That's right, 2014 is the year it will finally be the Adams Family's turn to leave South Korea. We have loved it here but we are looking forward to our next adventure. We have projected orders, but until they are official, things could still change so I can't post about that yet. Exciting things are coming though...Peter finally becoming a Chaplain...a dream 10+ years in the making, moving back to the United States after four years living overseas, being close enough to drive (meaning not an ocean apart) to see family and friends again that we've missed so much, getting to shop at Target and Costco and Trader Joe's, or ordering things online and having it get to me in less than a month, being able to read the street signs, or any signs! and being able to communicate easily and speak the language being spoken all around me...ha! ha! It's the little things! :) So that about sums up the last year for the Adamses, life is good and God is great and there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.</div>

One of her favorite friends, Ms. Heather stopped by for a cup of tea in the morning because she wasn't going to be able to come for lunch later in the day. Faithy was very happy to see her!<br />

For her birthday lunch she requested meatballs & sweet and sour chicken because she couldn't decide...and rice and of course lots of her favorite fruits. <br />

A table full of her favorite friends! You can't see the kids very well because they are behind the adults, and sitting closest to her and there is a table full of boys on the floor eating at the Korean table. All of the boys, except for Daddy, Mr. Ky and Mr. Nick had to sit on the floor! She was very specific about her guest list and it included some of her favorite adult friends who were happy to attend tea for the birthday girl and even dressed up in suits and fancy dresses for the occasion!<br />

She has pushed her tiny toddler size one around for the last 4 years and it was getting a little ridiculous how hunched over she was trying to push this itty bitty thing around. Since she is still so into her baby dolls we decided a new stroller that fit her would be a good gift. </div>

She was very happy about it and has been pushing it around the house for days now. She can't wait until the weather warms up and we can take it outside and push her babies on a walk. I was super excited to find one that said it was good for ages 5-10, and it's built like a real stroller and seems really sturdy, so it looks like it'll last awhile!</div>

We did some owl pictures yesterday after looking at lots of pictures of real owls. The kids sketched them out first then did water color or crayon to color them in. I thought they turned out great! I didn't think that Faithy would actually want to do it with us, but she was very excited to do her own big owl picture. :)</div>

January has been a pretty relaxed month for us and we've been enjoying being at home with not many extra activities in our schedule. Here are a few cute pics from the month that aren't about anything specific, just fun for the grandparents to see some glimpses of our days. </div>

Faithy sitting back and reading all by herself. :) It's just the BOB Books first readers, only 4-6 pages each, but still, I love that she enjoys getting them out and reading through them on her own sometimes.<br />

For some reason they actually think it's fun to dump the whole box...on purpose... and reorganize them. I'm glad they do though, cause before they decided they enjoyed this, I use to hate it when I would, or one of the other kids would drop the box and all the letters would get mixed up! It would take way to much time for me to sort everything in the right places...but now they do it for fun. :)<br />

We've had so many cold, dark, gloomy days this month. One day we got a package from some dear friends that had glo sticks in them. The next day, though it was already 8am it was incredibly dark in the house still because of the snow clouds outside. We decided that was the perfect time to break them out and play with them! And it was tons of fun but I didn't get many pictures since the light was so bad.<br />

For the first time in our house we can play a game and EVERYONE can play themselves...we don't have to have any 'teams' with the littlest ones....it's bitter sweet! Samuel can totally play UNO with us now and can match the colors and numbers all by himself. It's been fun when we all play together but it's sure making me miss my babies!!!<br />

I went to the flower market with a friend earlier in the week and I was hunting around for vases and jars to put all my flowers in. One of them was just a clear sauce jar and Joshua decided he wanted to make it pretty for me. So he layered it with masking tape to give it texture, then painted it purple. :) It turned out beautiful and perfect for my little flowers. He's such a sweet boy!<br />

Then Faithy helped him build a table and they had a tea party with the babies. :) Since they did this, the kids have been coming up with many more things to build for their babies and pets....beds, houses, cages, a couch! I don't think that Duplos or Legos will ever get old!<br />

But the Adams family is still around and having lots of fun! We have been having computer issues, photo program issues, hard drive issues...it's terrible! And has made it very difficult to be able to blog. There were so many great things that happened in 2012 and awesome pictures that I'd love to share but currently, I can't access anything before November...though my dear husband promises me that they are there...and he's working on it. I can look at them, I just can access them to do anything with them. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for now, I have a few photos from the last couple of months to share, some sweet moments with my babies that I'm sure at least the grandparents will enjoy!</div>

Since my blog is kind of like a family scrapbook I wanted to post this one. We've been doing family game night during our weeks when our schedules have permitted it and we've all really enjoyed it. The kids very much look forward to game night. This picture is of the night we introduce the kids to Yahtzee! We have taught them several new games over the last couple of months but this night we actually remembered to get a picture of it. :) It's one of those pictures that reminds me of one of our many happy times doing something all together. I hope someday seeing it, my children will remember it that way too! </div>

There are somethings that just completely take me back to my childhood. Doing this with my kids was one of them. :) I haven't heard them all giggle this much in a long time! And the whole time I just kept thinking of my Dad and all the silly songs and things he'd say when it was his chin face that was talking. :) </div>

Life has been busy for us Adamses over here in South Korea and I won't post about everything...just the highlights to catch us up to where we are now. I can't believe it's July already!<br />

It was a VERY hot day that day, but we all still enjoyed it very much! :)<br />
