How Court went.

So today I thought would let you know about how Court went yesterday.

Alright so when we got there we waited for a little while. I don't know how long because we were talking to another Mzungu (But Ugandan, they live here) family the whole time so it didn't seem terribly long.

They called us and we went straight into the Court room.

We got it.

Judge: "I see you have the medical report"

*Paper flipping*

He said yes.

We leave.

And before that the judge (Who was being completely serious) said "Young man." And Edrine spun around, grinned and gave him a huge thumbs up and everyone (including the judge) cracked up! 

The whole meeting was about a 2 minute process.

We didn't say a word besides thank you!

As we walked out the people in the hallway who saw us walk in looked at us stunned and said "That was quick! Good?" We say yes and we get many congratulations.

Before we left we went in and told the people we'd been talking to that the judge said yes! (They jumped a little when we tapped them on the shoulder and said the same thing "That was FAST!")

Before we left we called Bobbob and Granjan. 

We told Edrine we were calling them and he kept saying "BobBob, BobBob!" over and over! He answered and we told him to say "Hello my name is Edrine White." Soooo sweet!!!
(Oh ya, Edrine now associates ice cream with Bobbob after we told him how much he loves ice cream, it's hilarious. We were talking about it and Edrine said "Bobbob ice cream!"

We also called Mamaw after that.

Edrine: "I love you Mamaw."

***Sweetness OVERLOAD***

(This is how he was standing while talking to mamaw, hilarious!)

Thank you to all those who were praying!!! We have an amazing God!!!

So..... Without further ado....

Please meet my newest little brother, Edrine White!!!!

Okay, okay, here it is!

I have had many people saying they wanted to see my little brother's sweet face.

I apologize, I had NO idea THAT was what you wanted to see!

Hahahaha yes I did, I'm evil.

So I got on my laptop and took another picture you might like. 

Okay...

Ugh. You people are so hard to please!

P.S. Just saying, blame Linny at APCS For teaching us the art of the tease!

It's Edrine!

We are finally in Kampala Uganda!!

After what seems like countless hourse of doing nothing on a plane we are FINALLY in Uganda!!!!

We are at the director of Mister Edrine's orphange's house with Edrine!

It's SOOO amazing to see him again <3

He loves his mommy!!! And he was so happy to see us again <3

I've missed him SOOO much :)

He's so funny :)

We go through the picture album we brought him and ask him "Who's that?" "Austin, Harry, Mummy, Molly, Daddy"

There are some pictures in there with some of the other kids at SASCU and he starts identifying the other kids in the picture :)

I bet you want to see pictures, huh????

He loves to color! After he finishes coloring part of the picture he'll say "Mum! Daddy!" and they come to look at his picture :)

He loves to play on daddy's phone, and he LOVES crackers!!!

He had new shoes, he LOVED to make them light up!

 Putting stickers all over his hands :)


More pictures coming soon :)




 Wait, wait, were those not the pictures you wanted????

You wanted to see his face?

Ohhhhh

Hahahahahahahaha

Getting ready!

Wow, this trip seriously sneaked up on us!

Alright, not really, I have been counting down the seconds since over 3 weeks ago :)

But still, I can hardly believe it! 

We leave Wednesday!!!

Getting ready to go!! 

Lots of packing to do!

Christmas bags for the kids at SASCU about ready to pack!!!

(Thank you everyone who helped us make the bags and gave us stuff to put in them!!!)

In 2 days we get on a plane.

And in 4 DAYS I will playing with these kiddos again!

Look at those smiles!!! You just cannot resist those smiles!

I'm so excited!!! 

(See Aubrey, you were right, haha)

Some sweet kiddos

Usually when I post something on here it's because I have something important to share

Today I just wanted to tell you about some of the sweet kids we met on the first day we started building (helping to build) the wall.

For the first little while while we were mixing cement we noticed some kids by a house nearby watching us while we worked...

After a little bit a little girl walked over to where we were working (okay, I'll be honest, at that time I think we were just playing with the boys)

Sylvia <3

A little while later she was followed by a another little girl, quite a bit younger than she was

Rita! Isn't she adorable!? I think she was about 3 :)

A few other kids followed much more slowly behind them, standing a long way off, taking a few more steps, stop, look at us, walk a little bit more. I smiled at them a few times and then walked over to where they we're standing at the time and told them they could come over and they walked back with me. 

This is Sylvia with Shammie, one of the kids who came over next.

She was very sweet but and so shy :)

This is Baby Zai, he came with Shammie :)

Here is Shammie, Sylvia, Rita, and Zai :)

Kate came a little while later

Paul was actually there before Sylvia playing football (soccer) and frisbee with us and the boys.

Ven <3 Isn't she beautiful?

After Sylvia, Shammie, Kate, Rita, and Zai, A bunch of kids just started slowly walking over. 

The kids kept coming slowly like Shammie and Zai, but there were so many kids after that, I couldn't tell who came when!

By the end of the day there were a bunch of kids there!

At first they seemed kind of scared of us (well not exactly scared... just kind of shy I guess....)

But by the end of the day they were playing with us and sitting in our laps and smiling and laughing!

It was like this by the end of the day :)

After that day only Sylvia Shammie, Kate, Rita, Paul, and Zai came back

But they were SOOO sweet when they did! 

They didn't just want to be there, they wanted to help us!

They wanted to help us move bricks! 

Even little Rita didn't want to stop when we told her she didn't have to do that.

A couple of times the younger kids tried to take 2 bricks at a time and we told them they didn't have to do that and helped them with one of them.

Zai was to little to help and Granjan held him a lot of the time when he tried to stand over by where we were passing bricks and he got upset when we tried to move him because we didn't want him to get hit in the head

I loved playing with these kids and watching their determination to help us even when we told them they didn't have to do that

I don't know for sure if I'll see them again on the next trip but I really hope so!
