Another Hope Funny

Hope: Mom, how does a radio tower work?

Mom: Ask your dad, he's the Electrical Enginerd

Dad: talks in gross detail about electromagnetic waves transmitting through the air from the radio station to our radios at home and the car

Hope: Very cool. So like are we the richest nation in the world?

Mom and Dad: Financially, yes we are

Hope: Then who's number 2? China?

Mom: So, why are you asking all of these deep questions when you are only six?

Hope: Well, at the cottage program (home school coop), they want us to learn phonograms really well. So I figured I should just learn everything I can so that I can be really smart and understand everything when I grow up.

Mom: sigh...

Happy 6th Birthday

This year, on January 26th, a simple round cake was homemade by mom. It was a strawberry ice cream cake, all done from scratch but a lot easier than a castle or Tigger. Perfect for a simple celebration of love.

Here's the birthday girl, enjoying her cake

She was so happy to get  a weaving loom and a devotional book that she can read all by herself. Later, we took the family to Melting Pot and enjoyed the three course fondue of cheese, broth, and chocolate. It was a good birthday.

In the morning, we talked about Hope's birth mom and thanked God that Hope's birth mom loved her and gave her life. Hope offered to pray for the salvation of her birth mom so that one day, she would be able to meet her birth mom in Heaven. It really touched our hearts; we're hoping that the Lord will work this wonderful miracle for Hope.

Dad to Hope: OK, if are you China and you get lost, what's one thing about dad that you can tell the policeman?

Hope: My dad has a big nose and big ears.

Dad: OK.Well, what else?

Hope: My dad has blue eyes

Dad: VERY Good. So, what if the policeman asks why you don't look like your dad.

Hope: Dad, you are so silly. It's because I did NOT come out of your belly!
