Pictures

I have so many pictures from this past week, so I decided just to do one big post with pictures, rather than different posts with the different pictures. It's faster that way. Late tonight we will be receiving a youth team from The Fireplace in PA, and they will be here for 10 days. It will be lots of fun and I will be quite busy. So you may not hear from me for a little while. We'll see how it goes. Anyway... enjoy the pictures...

Here I am... 29 weeks.
Here's our little thumb-sucker. As soon as she gets her blankey in her hand, her thumb goes right to her mouth.
So proud of herself that she climbed on top of the wash basket.
We got a box out of storage the other day that happened to have a bunch of baby stuff in, including pacifiers. The girls found them and thought they were so much fun to play with. None of them actually suck pacifiers (Larissa did until she was 2), so it was funny.
What is it about boxes that just amazes kids?

Our pastor from our home church in PA, Duane Britton, came to visit and meet Victor & Vânia.
This is Vânia showing all the desserts she made in one day. That's a lot of brownies and cupcakes!! She is doing such a wonderful job and really picked it up fast.

Each dessert gets individually wrapped.

I had taken the pillows of our bed to make it, and the girls promptly decided to play on them and pretend they were sleeping. Elysia managed to get on the bottom of the pile, and her head was actually under Giselle in the first picture.


This is us with Beth in the booth downtown where we sell our American desserts.

This was a hosing-down session after the girls were playing in sand all morning at the church while we were baking. Giselle loves being sprayed right in the face and she flails her arms and runs in place. It kinda reminds me of Tommy Boy at the gas station getting sprayed (for those of you from my generation who know the movie-haha).

Here is a tarantula that was on the back wall here. The leg span (top to bottom) was about 6 inches. We wanted to put something next to it so that in the picture you could really get a feel for the size. So Chad (who was taking the picture) put his hand next to it, but before he could take the picture, it spooked the spider and it dropped off the wall. So the 2nd picture is of it down in the flowerbed, but you still can't really tell how huge it was!
