God Bless America!



My title may or may not be fitting, but I just love looking outside seeing my kids enjoying the summer-like weather and am reminded of the awesome freedoms that we enjoy.  Please note that Cael is wearing a light sabre, a pair of flight wings, a bike helmet, a Nemo sticker from the dentist's office, and a walkie-talkie.  What can I say?  The kid knows how to accessorize!
So this week has been busy and it is only Tuesday!  I went back to work, The Ferland Academy is back in full swing, and Cael Enyi had a TON of medical appointments.  We followed up with the pediatrician who reported that he is so far a very healthy boy!  He had us see the audiologist to rule out any inner ear issue (due to the minor outer ear deformity) and his hearing is perfect.  The audiologist and I were even able to communicate how to raise his hand when he heard the beeps and he did great!  Where he did NOT do so great is at the dentist...we knew that kids from China typically had dental issues, and Cael certainly came with more than his fair share.  He has 7 cavities and is on a waiting list to get them taken care of before we leave for D.C. next month.  We will avoid eating or drinking before 0800 every morning until we see if we get the opportunity to squeeze in to have at least two visits to get all the dental work taken care of...UGH!  
Finally, on Friday we go back to orthopedics for another XRAY to see if his cast can come off.  He is still coming down the stairs every morning saying, "No, MaMa", as he points to his cast.  And he is begging to get back on his bike...YEAH!
We hope that you all are doing well.  We are so thankful for your continued prayers and God's continued provision in our lives.  We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams!!

  1. How cute the boys are! I see that Cael has his dads "sense of style" when he was that age.

  2. Wow, Charlie has a bunch of dental work he needs taken care of as well. What is it with all the cavities?! No fun!!
    Glad to hear things are going well though, what a sweet family!

    We'll be praying that he can get in and get that taken care of before the move, and also praying for all the preparations for the move.

  3. OMG! What a beautiful family! The picture of the boys and Tucker sleeping is absolutely priceless. Cael seems to certainly be looking up to his big brother and Campbell appears up to the challenge! I'm guessing you are in the midst of relocation or settling, and know that we are thinking of you and hoping things are going well. Please call when pass through or get settled in (whichever is best). We would love to meet the newest Ferland and catch up. We are all sooo happy for you guys.
