Good morning!  All the kids are awake and I am finishing my first cup of coffee.  Day 4 of living in a hotel and I am starting to feel like it will never end.  I feel like my senses are asleep.  I sure miss my front porch!

Ran to the store last night and parked in a handicap parking spot.  It takes us forever to get out of the car for some reason and the girls were dancing around the van while Josh and I were getting Joshua situated.  I was caught off guard when I heard an old man ask Josh which one of us had arthritis.  I knew exactly where he was going with this.  He mumbled something about us all running around pointing at the girls and basically that no one appeared to be "handicapped".  It took everything I had to keep walking and not let him know my feelings.  We never told him that Joshua is paralyzed.  The situation still has me upset.  On a positive note Josh took this as an opportunity to teach the kids that this is why you don't worry about anyone else.  That ignorant man assumed something and it made him look like nothing but a cold hearted, unintelligent man.  Poor Joshua sits so sweet and innocent.  He didn't ask to be born this way nor does he even understand all the challenges the he will face in his lifetime.  On top of all the challenges parents of disabled children face, now we can add this to the list...

We decided to eat at Los Gallo's again!  Soooo yummy and conveniently shares a parking lot with our hotel!  Headed back to our room and decided to go for an evening swim.

Joshua got a new nickname last night.  Mr. Button.  He thinks it's hilarious when I call him that.  He earned the name fair and square-that boy sees a button and he is pushing it.  He is a busy 3 year old!
The phone in our hotel room has been off the hook more than on thanks to Mr. Button.

The kids and I have become acquainted with the day shift housekeeping staff.  While it's nice to be friendly, today I am wishing I could walk out of my hotel room and not be bombarded.

 Everyone is fond of Lady around here.  Even had some one ask if they could take her picture.  I guess she is a good dog:)

Have an appointment to go see a home tonight.  Please pray it works out.  We have a feeling that this is the one!  Really hoping to meet our goal of finding a home!

HAVE A GOOD DAY!  WE MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!
