It is Friday night and most of you are enjoying a football game, fall mixer dance, or some other fun weekend activity. Somehow knowing that was easier once we heard "Me mucho happy" come from Carlos' mouth. Tonight at dinner we noticed the volume of the boys to be at an all time high. Looking back at this day-filled with low activity -Craig & I knew we were in trouble. We get done with dinner at 7:30...much too early to retire 4 teenage boys for the evening. The napkins started to fly at the dinner table which gave us the idea of a pillow fight. We started the activity in our room, but quickly realized we were -once again- disrupting the entire home. So we took the game to the back yard. Many times we heard Carlos say "me mucho happy" and "you good Wenke familia". Craig & I enjoyed from the side lines. (P.S. Craig & I will be sleeping on clean pillow cases tonight) Well, they are now showering and getting ready to watch some spanish episode of Power Rangers. I do feel sorry for Austin - Carlos has dubbed him a power ranger as well. We think the purple one.
We received good news today followed by unsure news. Our misdated letter - we believe - has been fixed, but we will not know for sure until Monday morning. We are continuing to pray that Monday morning Craig, Carlos & Carter will go to the embassy to begin the Visa process. On Tuesday we hope to have Craig, Carlos, Austin and Jared go to pick it up. I will be spending time packing. Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream,..... yes the song is playing in my head.
Carlos mentioned tonight that he is looking forward to a pillow fight with Angie and Judi. This note is for them - Be prepared for a pillow war!! Judi you have been selected to be on Carter and Carlos team and Angie with Austin & Jared. Any other neighbors, friends or cousins who want to participate are encourage to practice before they participate as we have 5 more nights to hone in our skills. My understanding is that Angie and Judi can pack a pretty intense punch!! Carlos has fond memories of playing this game one time with Angie and Judi back in Soacha.
We are counting down the days until we get to see you again! 4 more days of soup, 5 more pillow fights, 6 more nights until our own beds, 1 more Sunday until we can go to our church, 10 more games of soccer, and hopefully 146 hours until we are home. Love to you all
Dear Wenke Family,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like that was fun!! We cann't wait for you to get back, in 146 hours!! I bet you will want to sleep in your own beds and eat your own food too! We miss you all so much and now we don't have to wait much longer!
