2) Our Lolo (grandpa) Chris from the Philippines has been here visiting the last few days. Chris and his wife Lynn were our fill in grandparents when we were in language school in the PI. It has been so fun to spend time with him and laugh at all of our most embarrassing and humiliating memories. And there are LOTS!
3) Pandora radio is on right now playing Madeleine Peyroux. Perfect music for an evening on the computer. Check her out.
4) My mom is coming in tomorrow and I'm super excited. Mirielle already has several sewing projects lined up for her.
5) Kellan started preschool this week. He LOVES it. His favorite part according to him: chasing the girls. Last night he told me, "Mom, tomorrow I'm going to go in all by myself like a big boy." Then he got mad when I told him this morning that I had to go into the building with him to sign him into his class. It is such a GREAT confirmation that the choice to put him into preschool was the best choice for him and he is ready to go and having fun!
6) A few Sundays ago I was talking to Mirielle about what happened at church that morning. Our church had a service celebrating 2 new churches that were being 'launched' out of the congregation. They brought all of the kids in when they prayed for the 2 new pastor's families.
I went on to tell her that our church in Phoenix prayed for us like that when they sent us out and explained to her that we are missionaries up here and what that means, etc, etc.
After she thinks for awhile we have the following conversations:
M: Mom, I think when I grow up I want to be a missionary to France.
Me: Oh yeah, why is that?
M: I think it would be a pretty interesting place to go.
Me: It probably would be. Why do you think it would be so interesting?
M: Because there are some people there that only wear their underwear instead of clothes.
Me: Really, how do you know that?
M: Uncle Matt told me
I can only imagine what that conversation went like! And it SO does not surprise me that the answer had something to do with Uncle Matt!
7) I really wish there was some ice cream in the house right now, which is exactly why I have refused to buy some when I'm at the store.
8) I'm pretty sure that I have one of the messiest kids in the world living in my house. Can't quite figure out how to get that girl to keep things clean.
9) I had 2 photo sessions on Saturday. FUN!
10) Here are a few pictures of the first day of school and our trip to Starbucks after to celebrate.
