- Phone: Yes, we hope to have our magic jack set up here in Germany. I am waiting until JB gets back from England to help me with that. I'll keep you posted. I also do have Skype usable right now.
- Mail: I can receive mail here -- I think I can get my own temporary APO Box eventually. But I also have a friend here who has volunteered to let mail come to her. Just email me at: flakymn@hotmail.com if you want the address. We would love to get mail. Boredom will be our biggest challenge here. Magazines would be great or other little USED toys for boys (match box cars are always a hit or stickers etc.) are very welcome.
- Baby Updates: The last 36 hours, I have had considerably less contractions. As long as things are going pretty "normal", I am going to be putting more of my pregnancy updates back on my "Baby Updates" page. Hopefully this will continue for next 7 weeks or so. You can click on the link under the header on the main page of my blog or you can click here to read them. Anything very important will go on the main page, but small incidentals will be reserved for this page. I will say right now though that I am feeling TONS better than I was a week ago. A week ago I would have told you I felt I was going to deliver any moment. Today, I do not feel that way. Praise the Lord.
- Library Recommendations: I think I'll be reading a lot here. There doesn't seem to be a great selection of Christian fiction writers at the library however. Any recommendations on some other good books that I could check out at the library? Please let me know!
- Book Give-Away: With all the drama of the baby, my book-give-away got pushed to the back burner. Click here to find out the book currently on my give-away list and enter your name in the contest. You can also click on the link under the header.
- Other gifts: People have been asking about other things we "need" for the baby. We really do not need anything, however, I have registered at Target for a few basic things if you want to get an idea of the things we would like.
- Playhouse Disney: We have this station here! At home, TV is limited to an hour a day and we really only watch Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Any other shows on Playhouse Disney anyone wants to "vouch for" as good for 2-3 year olds?
- Pashminas: Please remember I still have some of these for sale. Click on the link under the header or click here to buy a beautiful pashmina AND support Because of Isaac.
- Because of Isaac: Speaking of Because of Isaac, we are currently just over $10,000. We have set a goal to hit $15,000 by the end of June. This means we need just 50 people to donate $10. Would you consider a $10 donation? You can, of course, give more, but just 50 people is all we need to hit our next significant milestone. Click here to find out how you can donate.
- Follower? Please let me know by clicking on the "followers" on the right side of the page. We are nearing 200! So exciting.

Charlie is a fan of Special Agent Oso and Jake and the Neverland Pirates, both on Playhouse Disney. He watches them in the morning while I am getting myself/babies ready for the day.
Recent books I enjoyed that weren't Christian fiction were Half-Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
My kids like Jungle Junction and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. I've never seen anything objectible on either.
Don't you need 500 people to donate $10 to get $5000?
Jake and the Neverland Pirates is a must! Anytime it's on the daycare kids are silent. The kids like Oso, but it drives me insane. Jungle Junction is good. If your boys like trains then Chuggington is good.
So glad you're feeling better. Praying that little girl stays put for 7 more weeks.
One quick question. How long do you have to stay in Germany after she's born? Can newborns fly right away?
Bethany
Ava loves Jake and the neverland pirates. Its a cute show. I think the boys would like capt hook.
Tony
I already emailed you to get your address. I just wanted to add that you need a Kindle. I would suggest this to John the next time he feels like buying you something. This way you can instantly buy whatever book you are looking for! I LOVE mine!!!! No bulk, charge lasts forever and you can get the book the instant you want it instead of waiting for it to be mailed, which i'm sure takes longer to get to you right now.
Oh, I started reading The Help and I like it. It's not Christian, but it's really good!
You can try books by Elizabeth Berg. After you read a few they start to all get the same, but she is good and an easy read. Also, Kent Haruf has some good books that are based in the farming country and are interesting. Lastly, The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes is really good and is by Diane Chamberlain. I read several books by her and she is a lot like Jodi Picoult if you liked her writing style. Oh, and I can't remember if you said you had read The Hunger Games yet, but very, very good books. If I had any of these I would mail them to you, but I pretty much just check out book from the library. Much more economical that way!
Brittny, I read THE HELP! Loved it!
John has a kindle -- it's due in soon. Maybe I'll ask him to give it to me.
Yes! Duh! 5,000 people to donate $10. 40 people to donate $25.
ooops -- 200 people to donate 25$
Bethany, after baby is born, we have to wait approximately 10 days to get her passport in.
Jake and the Neverland Pirates! Also, Agent OSO is good. If you get Nick Jr, my girls LOVE BUBBLE GUPPIES! Such a cute show!
My kids love "Handy Manny" and "Imagination Movers".
I LOVE Little Einsteins, but here its on at like 4am or something crazy. Handy Manny was also a good show. Grace and Nate have outgrown Playhouse Disney a little, but still watch a show here or there.
Disney Jr. shows we like: Handy Manny & MM Clubhouse when they were smaller. Imagination Movers & Special Agent Oso then and still. Currently like Jake & the Neverland Pirates. Never could get into Little Einsteins, Chuggington or Choo Choo soul. The rest that are on their website we never have tried or watched. Hope that helps!
When I was a nanny tthe kids favourite was Imagination Movers, Little Einsteins
Special agent oso, jake and the neverland pirates, jungle junction in not too bad. But stay away from the imagination movers! handy manny is one of our favs!
