Well, it's Irakoze's birthday today. Not really, but it is. lol
The staff brought a birthday card and a decorated cake with his name on it to our room. The name on the cake was Daniel. His name is Irakoze Daniel. The staff here find Irakoze too hard so they call him Daniel. Why Africans would have a hard time with an African name is beyond me?? lol
And we call him Irakoze. (This is one that he knows) And then when we get home we will probably call him Jaxon. The poor kid - so confusing.
All of the staff here "oh and ah" over him. He is such a friendly kid. He wants to wave and shake hands with everyone. He just loves the attention. He will run up to even the guards (who are carrying guns) and want to get up with them. It is funny. But then he wants back with mama and papa.
So we sang happy birthday and ate cake. He liked the cake but not the icing. Funny kid!

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!! it sounds like he is bonding well with you guys, that is awsome. Are you back in rawanda? I tried to pick up the letter that was sent ups but they wouldn't let me, they said if you can fax a letter saying it is ok for me to pick it up that would be ok and sign it, I'm thinking it is from payless because nothing else has come from them yet, unless youcan ask them to send it regular mail, ups said they will hold it for 5 days and then send it back, their fax number is 403 380-2722 if you have access to one, just let me know what you want to do. The adoption group is meeting again at the end of the month so you better be home by then lol we are having it at our house because there is not alot of people and I think it is more confortable in a home environment and cheaper! We're supposed to have snow here today so enjoy the nice weather over there! Take care! We miss you guys lots!

He looks so grown up in blue jeans and (like his daddy) a muscle shirt. Mike I think you had better be careful I think Irakoze has bigger muscles than you HAHA.
ReplyDeleteI just love the picture of Marcy and Irakoze it is one that should be framed when I look at it I can not help but laugh.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY. I guess Irakoze does not have a sweet tooth since he did not like the icing hey just think that concept might just save you money on dentist bills. Hope everything is going well and thanks for posting update pictures.
Hey guys, we love the pictures! escpecially the one with Mike sleeping with Jaxon, I have one of those with Kurt and Acacia when we went to pick her up. Marcy, I got the letter but it's not your EI, it's about your benefits, if you want to continue them it will cost you money every month, if you want me to fax the letter to you I can they need to know by the 15th of June, they have a 1800 number on the sheet as well it is 877 752-3646 ext. 185, his name is Francoise, would they have sent your form to the store? I'm surprised it's not here yet but we'll keep you posted, take care and just let me know my next instructions!lol
ReplyDeleteNola, can you please check to see if my ROE (record of employment) came to the store?
ReplyDeletenola, if the Roe is not at work would you please call Francoise at the above # and ask where it is or call Gene telling him I have not recewived it yet.
ReplyDeleteCan you also tell them that I want to keep my benefits and I will send them checks next week.
Tell them to not dare cancel them!!!!
Can you tell Gene this as well? Thank you so much.
Hey Mike, I thought I would give you an NHL update seeing you might not have a tv there, last nite the pennguins forced a game 7 with a 2-1 win so now it's back in detroit, also I have a job lead you might be interested in, it's not teaching though, can't wait til you get back, I hope you are enjoying yourself cause when you get back it's HOCKEY TIME no resting then. Take care
ReplyDeleteKurt
Hey Marcy, I got your roe today, so I took it in but the guy said that is was sent electronically so we didn't even need it, he checked to see if everything was ok and it was so no worries everything is done!now you can relax! lol
