Sad goodbyes...

We had a wonderful time this past three weeks having family around. It was pretty jammed packed. We were able to do things around the city we don't normally have time or money to do. A big thank you to those who gave us extra spending money for Christmas! We even took a short trip to a near by port for a couple of nights! Of course we were all spoiled by Micah's parents. All four of us are still recovering from loosing Nana and Gramps.


Lydia has officially decided she loves little girls! This is a little girl at an outdoor market we stopped at. Lydia is not afraid to just run up and put her arms around any little girl.
Here is another little girl we met at a playground in the mall. It's like they are all her best friend. I thought it was all little people. But I have noticed she is quiet and reserved and kind of like a deer in headlights around little boys. Today we went to McDonald's to play with my friend's twin 2 year old boys. Lydia did not know what to do. And then a little girl walks in and she lights up and runs to her as if they are long lost friends.
Elli is smiling and laughing! She keeps us bright eyed.
We went to the Craft Complex. This is really one of my favorite places in this country!
Gramps and Elli sat and watched me do Batik.
I just love it! It's so fun! Happy Birthday daddy! This one is on it's way to you.
It's hard to keep this girl out of the driver's seat.

Life jumped back to normal this week. We have been in an upheaval since November. Adding a new member to our family, Thailand, Lydia's Birthday, Christmas holiday hoop-la, and then family visits. We love the chaos of all those things, but it makes us appreciate our little routine.
