The Summer of 2010 is almost over. Can't believe it. Here in Louisville, it has been the hottest Summer since the 1930's! I was hoping to do so much more this Summer, but it was just way too hot. We stayed indoors quite a bit. Needless to say, we are looking forward to Fall.<br /></div><div>During the Summer, we tried potty training Lydia. And...she is just not ready yet. I find myself trying to push her to be ready..but really nothing is working. So, I am resolved for her to let me know when she is ready. :) It just isn't fruitful for both of us to be stressed about it!</div><div></div><div>We moved into our home in late May and it has been wonderful. Did I say wonderful? We love being so close to everything. Especially Church. We can be more involved and actually go to the services that they have during the week. Hubby is happy too..not having to drive so far to get to work. Which makes me happy that he gets home so much earlier than he used to. We are so grateful for our home..we have a lot of work to get done still..but hey..Lord willing..we have 30+years, right???</div><div></div><div>Lydia is growing and I think we will be the same height next year..either that..or we will be sharing shoes. I can't keep up with her. She is healthy and strong. We are so thankful.</div><div></div><div>As we approach the end of this Summer, we are sending in our application for our second adoption. Hard to believe. We are praying for a little baby boy from Ethiopia. Please join us in prayer as we start this process again. We are taking things a bit slower this time around. Lydia is very excited about being a big sister.

She picked it out and it was on sale (good girl Lydia!!). We have had a special week. We have had two picnics, went to two different parks, she got to play with some old friends, and we shopped for her birthday presents.<br />Today, we picked out a small birthday cake, and tonight we will celebrate as a family of 3.<br />I am going to make a special lasagna dish for her, then we will open presents and eat cake (with vanilla ice cream). She is so excited. We don't eat sweets so this is<strong> extra</strong> special.<br />Well, our special China girl, we love you and we hope you have a very special 3rd birthday.<br />Mommy and Daddy love you very much.<br /><br /><br /></div>John and Claudine Superhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575706939282854638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759909486421995445.post-31214484107816498672010-04-12T16:04:00.006-04:002010-04-12T16:29:26.782-04:00A Perfect Day<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifMCh1GdwgPTrKvbmiIvQWv9t_PqaO6nkKfvJqY5aonGNr71-k1xUUOw73okztKIyGuTeMKUd7LqTNs9N71slHo8nexJZ4NrrAi3WjyZIWoJy4Trn9Yf-nq0Ut6pGGy8NCf37FezNYcrMj/s1600/100_7207.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459347532563513954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifMCh1GdwgPTrKvbmiIvQWv9t_PqaO6nkKfvJqY5aonGNr71-k1xUUOw73okztKIyGuTeMKUd7LqTNs9N71slHo8nexJZ4NrrAi3WjyZIWoJy4Trn9Yf-nq0Ut6pGGy8NCf37FezNYcrMj/s320/100_7207.JPG" /></a> When we were having our picnic at the park, Lydia kept on pointing and saying, "Look Mommy, a Cross."

Haven't put on a post on here for a while!!Hello friends in cyberspace. Hope all is well in your world. Sorry I haven't posted anything on here in a while. Life has been super busy. Lydia has been super sick with an upper respiratory infection and let me tell you, this is the sickest I have EVER seen her. Poor thing. Constant runny nose and a constant barking cough (with no sleep--Lydia or me) doesn't make for a happy 2 1/2 year old. Of course we are a family that likes to share...so we are all taking turns getting sick. Bleck...<br /><br />Then we have the selling of our home. It has been on the market for almost 5 months. We have lowered our price and it is just a hard market. We currently have an offer on our home that we are trying to work out...trying..trying..and more trying. We have found several houses that we like and are thinking....such a hard time to sell or to buy..truly.<br /><br />I know that all things work together for our good....so I continue to trust in the Lord. Sometimes that is hard too. Do I sound defeated or what??? Yea, a bit discouraged..but I look to my Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ for comfort and wisdom. He is my source of strength.<br /><br />I will leave you with Lydia's latest video. She is such a joy. I love her dearly...and I am so grateful that she is with us. We are the 3 Musketeers! Peace to you all.<br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyeTZnmAdEyAcAU75AKSMdYgZQKcsY8-3NWYOWUSFqZgRWYuiorBPAWPgKFJ_boQcV3NfTtsZyUkEw1PS4wDQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>John and Claudine Superhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575706939282854638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759909486421995445.post-91657262213359343072010-02-07T20:30:00.003-05:002010-02-07T20:41:12.651-05:00Dinner with the Copelands<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cgO3vw6CoZmUUZgWOT8HZW967657aRiDHohEb2ZaFJWUrLjU6ACCFZEzsREWdNISDJHTvsEc3P6OxZQ3NJA0c_XL0h4j6LG5hKvMo-jimDxjKIV-2YP76FTtuErjgCw6bENBfqSUTkrP/s1600-h/100_6856.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435681595223809282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cgO3vw6CoZmUUZgWOT8HZW967657aRiDHohEb2ZaFJWUrLjU6ACCFZEzsREWdNISDJHTvsEc3P6OxZQ3NJA0c_XL0h4j6LG5hKvMo-jimDxjKIV-2YP76FTtuErjgCw6bENBfqSUTkrP/s320/100_6856.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4cG7K6w6pgOU1VyKNTwSKUT5Q2ST1wogxHuEM1amWDaArsN-T0jbqmnfX-YHhqpbp_OAkphV6vcAph_aYsoHzBQS9yOJ3TtndHb5YP6UOZfi5tqHP6Ob6h3Oktm7Xb7UUCOa2FcwJi13V/s1600-h/100_6857.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435679099730584210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4cG7K6w6pgOU1VyKNTwSKUT5Q2ST1wogxHuEM1amWDaArsN-T0jbqmnfX-YHhqpbp_OAkphV6vcAph_aYsoHzBQS9yOJ3TtndHb5YP6UOZfi5tqHP6Ob6h3Oktm7Xb7UUCOa2FcwJi13V/s320/100_6857.JPG" /></a> For the first time since they have been married (which was August 2009)--Christina and Jeff came over to our home!<br /><br /><div>Christina and I used to work together and I miss our friendship greatly.

It was yummy, if I may say so myself! :)</div><br /><div>Lydia loves Christina and Jeff. She calls Christina "Nina" and its so cute. Lydia was anxious to have them come to her room. She didn't waste anytime..she put two seats out--one for Jeff and one for Lydia.

Having a 2 1/2 year old is awesome. What a great time of her life. Learning, growing..and I mean growing! Lydia is such a wonderful blessing...we can't imagine life without her. What does that have to do with the title of my post....everything!<br /><br />Before her <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nap time</span> (and nigh-nigh bedtime) we pray. During those prayer times we pray for others. Since the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">devastating</span> earthquake in Haiti, I have been trying to teach Lydia why we pray for them. Yea, like I had "nothing" else to do... :)<br /><br />Well, she saw a lady crying on TV from Haiti (I have been a bit <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">leery</span> of having her watch any of the coverage because it has been pretty graphic) and she said, "Mama, girl boo-boo. Boo-boo on knee." Then she started rocking her arms side to side (like she had a baby in her arms) to comfort her. I asked her, "Is that how you would comfort the lady?" She replied, "Ah-huh." I then began to explain to her that the lady had a big boo-boo on her head and that we need to pray for the people of Haiti. I told her that lots of people have boo-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">boo's</span> and they need God's help.<br /><br />So, now, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every time</span> we pray, we pray for the boo-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">boo'd</span> people of Haiti.<br /><br />I know that there is HOPE in Christ...and I am glad that my daughter knows that too. That nothing is too difficult for Him. Oh, the faith of a child...how I need that myself.<br /><br />Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti...please help in anyway you can...God bless.John and Claudine Superhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575706939282854638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759909486421995445.post-71795195553949340432010-01-11T16:58:00.002-05:002010-01-11T17:07:17.966-05:00Fun in the snow!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOabK-_OD_m9crH8Ib4-cyJkVF7Vl3P6VCy1XjI9lKWUwwXWoMK8GwbkhxRPc8zxbyz4INV5PxkQJMMfz35cr-Efm2C9xUJhNWVsdxAguPbeRFfUHfVU0ZEMGRs0_AanD4hSg2AhdSrx6/s1600-h/100_6794.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425605402498153090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOabK-_OD_m9crH8Ib4-cyJkVF7Vl3P6VCy1XjI9lKWUwwXWoMK8GwbkhxRPc8zxbyz4INV5PxkQJMMfz35cr-Efm2C9xUJhNWVsdxAguPbeRFfUHfVU0ZEMGRs0_AanD4hSg2AhdSrx6/s320/100_6794.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmQU7OcQhLEbHXz64sgeOhEaaqpqEjQ2L-x6WJWVBZZ3t9FI5D2yVr17De19qanQ7UQDDJZ33n0k3P61T90oa0hgYEURjFVve1Gc6iaSTGjnrvH24AErzha25PgYll2iqRSX7b8OarbA_/s1600-h/100_6792.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425605401802964546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmQU7OcQhLEbHXz64sgeOhEaaqpqEjQ2L-x6WJWVBZZ3t9FI5D2yVr17De19qanQ7UQDDJZ33n0k3P61T90oa0hgYEURjFVve1Gc6iaSTGjnrvH24AErzha25PgYll2iqRSX7b8OarbA_/s320/100_6792.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrEl8Tn07O6Z1gTbFN3KEnw63xyRclBMK7U8GAnCKNzZ3u6ploVjPYuWAYfpYA1JMYtlvJ1Nc3rnuxlvukr_y6cksB23F0HxGH_mFeaIDhna8SQCDrhHq-81V52iIuW1r6FyYsntlPF49W/s1600-h/100_6786.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425605397397760738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrEl8Tn07O6Z1gTbFN3KEnw63xyRclBMK7U8GAnCKNzZ3u6ploVjPYuWAYfpYA1JMYtlvJ1Nc3rnuxlvukr_y6cksB23F0HxGH_mFeaIDhna8SQCDrhHq-81V52iIuW1r6FyYsntlPF49W/s320/100_6786.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuRfhX9t94ZwEuiumZO95kPb_syYyW8P278PtB3GVaXhSp9m2Vh_X8yWVdKh7OaEWtnj3E-llS2_ZhAqL9D5N5p8ZpYyVxj-gLEHVY5OgS671jv_hDBAkAWPA5dF2vwGUPH5iW7sJX-IB/s1600-h/100_6783.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425605390606696770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuRfhX9t94ZwEuiumZO95kPb_syYyW8P278PtB3GVaXhSp9m2Vh_X8yWVdKh7OaEWtnj3E-llS2_ZhAqL9D5N5p8ZpYyVxj-gLEHVY5OgS671jv_hDBAkAWPA5dF2vwGUPH5iW7sJX-IB/s320/100_6783.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeitEF89R4QVk2Z3hdBoYKDzmcCz3D6R1I5TksL5YUjb2eu4FF492PulK1YncPswfFDc9homXIDVvRmZY7-nBt4_eZ9ARrMAsd1V1Q9nCu7iPO_oJIZFz3MXVr0alVbFKdQKal6E3uBJv/s1600-h/100_6782.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425605385526006786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeitEF89R4QVk2Z3hdBoYKDzmcCz3D6R1I5TksL5YUjb2eu4FF492PulK1YncPswfFDc9homXIDVvRmZY7-nBt4_eZ9ARrMAsd1V1Q9nCu7iPO_oJIZFz3MXVr0alVbFKdQKal6E3uBJv/s320/100_6782.JPG" /></a><br />Lydia and I went outside today for the first time since it has snowed. It has been too cold to go outside prior to today, so we played for about 45 minutes to an hour. It was so much fun. Lydia loved playing in the snow. Last year (which she had only been home with us for a month or two) she was terrified of the snow. This year...we went out and it was such a different story. She loved the way it felt on her hands when she would go to touch it without her gloves on. She would marvel at the fact that it would melt when it touched her hands.</div><div> </div><div>We also took a good look at individual snowflakes. Ever done that? Seriously cool stuff. Beautiful. God is truly amazing.<br /></div><div>Lydia couldn't wait to play with the football in the snow. That is my girl!! We also ran around the entire yard and threw snowballs at eachother. Lydia thought that was hilarious. She also went down her little slide into the snow...she would do that over and over again. </div><div> </div><div>It is so awesome to see her grow and learn new things. She looks at things so intently. </div><div> </div><div>All in all...we had an awesome day. Hopefully we will get more snow. I would really love to make a snowman with her...that would be too cool. She LOVES Frosty the Snowman!</div><div> </div><div>Have a wonderful day!!<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div>John and Claudine Superhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575706939282854638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759909486421995445.post-61530195738213352652009-12-27T20:21:00.006-05:002009-12-27T20:30:14.569-05:00Happy Nativity of our LORD<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilJFZ06HBNo4d8S27HLPdYofquqf1LvdKD4u2Cvli-asSD4ZqwDYgOnBDSv2NMvguYwRPrOicZT4_232w9W7lso-4NxsIjYtPlJ2Cv25f77k7LLf9psGwWSeV_1SjsmPS40ngIg2fuWeO_/s1600-h/asset.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Our first snow this year. When Lydia got up, she was so excited, much different reaction from last year when it snowed. Last year she was terrified of it. Grant it, it was only a month or so since we had been home from China, so all this stuff was so new. In her part of the country of China it was warm all year round so this white, cold, and even painful to the touch, stuff on the ground was pretty scary.<br /><br />John and I are so blessed to have Lydia. We are reminded every day how special she is. She is such a good girl. I love it when she says, "Thank you Mama" or "I love you too Mama!" She is just speaking so well (and people are understanding her!) and growing and learning so much. She is such a big helper. She loves to help. No, you really don't understand. This girl will get upset if you don't allow her to help you. She will say, "Lydia help please Mama."<br /><br />I just love her. I look forward to the day when she will have a sibling. I think she would do so well. We want to adopt again..but are praying for the right time (and the right place) to do so.<br /><br />As we are in the Advent Season, we have been talking a lot about Christ and His Birth. She will sing "Happy Birthday Jesus" when we talk about it. It is so sweet. She loves Jesus..she carries her Cross around (a Russian Orthodox Cross that we bought her as a Chrismation gift) and kisses it. Last Sunday we were confirmed into the Orthodox Church and during the ceremony (which was glorious) they anoint you with oil (on your forehead, your ears, your hands, feet, etc.) When the Priest (Father George) was done, she would look up at him and say "thank you" and he would smile...<br />I am amazed at her understanding of Christianity. She teaches me so much.<br /><br />Oh, God please help our unbelief.<br /><br />All this to say, we are utterly blessed.<br /><br />Peace be with you all.<br /><br /></div>John and Claudine Superhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575706939282854638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759909486421995445.post-16250141823363435962009-11-30T14:46:00.002-05:002009-11-30T14:49:47.529-05:00Playdough Fun!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzLjbaln7-_KjBpw77ugqgoEA0KyBhKBCCKhrIhUx11CJB7YJv1zHLm8A841CCz9e3fK47UJZlX3SIqXWESzZQYS4ouc0NjXRomDTiEuPTK004Na-bm8GVcbZlseG72H-D2bTZb0CFrUs/s1600/100_6483.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409985778430904546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzLjbaln7-_KjBpw77ugqgoEA0KyBhKBCCKhrIhUx11CJB7YJv1zHLm8A841CCz9e3fK47UJZlX3SIqXWESzZQYS4ouc0NjXRomDTiEuPTK004Na-bm8GVcbZlseG72H-D2bTZb0CFrUs/s320/100_6483.JPG" /></a> Lydia's attempt at making a snowman out of playdough!
