Some Summer Stuff...

My nephew, Alecks, in Soitsambu, Masailand. He is back home now in San Diego after several months in England, Kenya and Tanzania, serving with YWAM.
******
Lee's aunt and uncle gave us a giftcard for Applebee's, so off we went for his birthday dinner!

******
Yes, we registered at Babies R Us. I know it is early, but I decided I had waited long enough. It was a fun date, actually, and I felt very loved and quite delighted that Lee pulled into this parking spot...

My great-nieces slept over this weekend...Ava's first sleepover at our house. All went well except for when she realized she was ACTUALLY sleeping over! We went to the park. I love the determined walk that the girls take on when they are excited about something. One of the fun things that Ava said was, "I need to have a turn leashing the dog."

Corene and her buddy

Unta Wee and Ava

There were too many fun and funny moments to share, but I HAVE to share one story. Early in the morning I awoke to a loud sing-songy call from Corene. "Aunt Daaaaaaaawwwnnn" over and over. I went into the room. I said, "Sshh...what's the matter?" And she whispered back, "Umm, I have to go to the bathroom, but I'm afraid that the flushing will be too loud and I will wake everybody up!" I had to laugh as the calling out already did wake everybody up! I just love the way kids process things!

We took the girls to the lake and had a great time

We got this picture today of Patricia from another waiting family. It is always such a gift to get a new picture! I think she is quite photogenic.

Gaw, I'm such a softie. I got tears in my eyes at Lee's pulling in to the expectant mothers parking space. I also had to laugh because I started a baby registry this week, too! Hope Lee had a happy birthday!

I love that he pulled into the expecting mother's parking spot - VERY intentional and loving toward you! And, of course, I love the new pics of Patricia!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I got tears in my eyes too about the Stork parking.

P has such a genuine smile, it's contagious. I can't look at her without smiling.

I love love love all the family photos! You love like your having a great summer. It is fun to register!

For some reason I felt like I should not do it when waiting for Evan,since I already had 3 children. But they are all grown now. I really missed not doing it though. Terry
