Happy Halloween!

MONKEY

Our little Pumpkin!

Austin wants to make the WHOLE WORLD smile!

Wondering...

I looked at Austin and wondering… Since I was accepted by Gallaudet but I have to wait for a room to be available so we can go to Gallaudet. We are still on waiting list. Deaf parents with a deaf child will come first. When I requested for a room first since I have a hearing child, Deaf parents with a deaf child requested 2 months after I requested, they will get a room first because they have a deaf child. I know the deaf parents with a deaf child are blessed but I have a hearing child that is blessed too. I feel like Gallaudet is discriminating me for not have a deaf child. I was wondering if Austin is deaf, will I get a room right away. It is not fair because I can't decide to have a deaf child! If God wants me to have a deaf child, it's great! But God didn't want me to have a deaf child (yet). I don't know why Gallaudet wants deaf parents with deaf children first!

Good News!

Last Wednesday or Thursday, I got a letter from Gallaudet. At first, I saw a simple letter with no applications, You know when You are accept from a college and you should get thick letter with applications. I assumed that I was not accept, Andy told me to not jump in to the conclusion, look at it first to see what this letter say. Its said I am accepted! We are happy that we will go back to Gallaudet but we have to wait on Kendall to be available for us to stay. We don't want to live off campus because we can't afford to pay the rent and bills. We wanted to have some money left for Austin's needs such as medications, diapers, food, and etc. Please pray for Kendall to be available in January!

Tigger

Two weeks ago, we gave Tigger to Andy's sister's friend, Sara. Because Tigger didn't get enough attention from us, we were busy taking care of Austin. We think it is the best for Tigger to find a new home so we found her a new home. We gave her to Sara. It was hard for me to give her away but I know she will be happy because Sara will give her a lot of attention. When I woke up in the morning, I always wondering about Tigger, what is she doing? Will she forget about us? Is she happy? many questions in my mind about Tigger. One thing that important to me that Tigger is happy.

Back...

Hi! I'm sorry for not updating my blog for a while. We were busy packing and move out. We moved out on the second week of September because our VR won't support Andy for his MA degree and we cannot afford to pay the rent so we had to break the lease and moved out.

Right now, we are staying at Andy's parents' for a while. We are waiting on Gallaudet to send me an acceptance letter and let us know that we can go back to Gallaudet in January. I hope we will go to Gallaudet this spring! So, Please pray for us that we will be hearing from Gallaudet soon! Please pray for Andy's VR that will approve him to going to Gallaudet as a graduate student. This year, VR policy changed some and they are more strict on graduate progarm. Please pray for us to get a room for married couples/ family at Gallaudet. We are on waiting list, have to wait between 1 and 3 years for a room to be available. (pray that a room will be available this spring!)

Since past 5 and half weeks, Austin have been picking up so much things like he ate puffs with his own hands, sit up by himself, take his socks off, hold his bottle himself, ate 2 jars of 2 stage 4 times per day, slept thur the night (but he wakes up 1 or 2 times for his pacifier then went back to sleep), making noises, and more... Can't think of anything more that Austin have learned. We are excited to watch him grow! We enjoy watching him grow but don't want him to grow too fast, haha!


I can't update the pictures right now because I can't find my digital camera's usb feeder to download the pictures in the computer. I will update the pictures when I find it. If you can't wait to see the pictures of Austin, Check out on www.austincarteranderson.blogspot.com
