The morning 6 police come to visit….

Tuesday morning I was teaching the “olders” on the front porch when two police vehicles and a moto pulled into our driveway. Six policeman got out and began walking toward our house. As I told the kids later – no matter what country, nobody wants to see police coming for an unexpected visit. Josh was away at the office all day, so I was hoping I could handle it without calling him away from his meeting.

My heart was racing. I told Becca to pray for me! At first I thought maybe it was a visit to tell us we had had contact with a Covid case and would need to test/quarantine, however it was the Immigration Police wanting pictures of all our passports and visas. And wouldn’t you know it, all our passports were in Phnom Penh. Thankfully, Josh keeps copies of everything on our computer filing system, and I was able to pull each person’s up so they could take pictures of the pages with their phones. It took quite awhile. Just a friendly, random visit to make sure we had all the proper documents. I insisted on a picture at the end, so I could show off to Josh! He said I can have a bonus. 🙂

Micah – 10 Months

Today Micah turns 10 months! His biggest news is that his two bottom teeth have started to cut through (hardly noticeable) and HE’S WALKING! He took his first steps on the 6th – 10 days before he turned 10 months. This makes him our earliest walker. Such an exciting time for us all!

Micah – 8 Months & 9 Months

I didn’t get around to posting pictures at Micah’s 8 month birthday. He continues to be a fast, fun-loving boy! He LOVES eating anything he can off the floor! The other day Ezra said, “Micah is a good helper. He eats all the paper off the floor.” In July, when we were in PP, I took pictures of Micah back in his “birthing room.”

Micah is now 9 months! He’s been outside with us as long as he was inside with me. He loves to eat, explore, and play. He loves wrestling. This past month Ezra has played with Micah a big more. It’s so cute to hear them laughing together. The other day Ezra was smashing up chalk with his rubber mallet and Micah was eating it. Double trouble! It’s so fun to have two boys close in age.
