These first five pictures are from Giselle's 4th birthday on Wednesday. She is just growing up so fast. We had a fun day with her. We went out for pizza to a fun place that has a little playground where the girls had so much fun while we waited for the food to arrive. Giselle's newest pose for pictures is to give a thumb's up. I'm not sure where exactly she picked that up. The girls are adjusting well. Larissa isn't asking quite as often for our old church and friends and today she was asking when she is going to be able to go to Sunday School again at our new church. So that was a good sign. The pregnancy is going well. I can't believe how big my belly has gotten this time around. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I've had 3 pregnancies in 3 years and my abdominal muscules have just given up! But it is pretty obnoxiously huge! She is breach (seated) and hasn't flipped yet, but since I will be having a planned c-section it doesn't really matter. We haven't scheduled the delivery yet, but it will most likely be the first week of September. I have a doctor appointment on Wednesday and we'll set the date then. Here are a ton of pictures from the past two weeks here in Juazeiro...
Playground at the restaurant where we went for Giselle's birthday.
They all liked the merry-go-round!
This is our new gadget - a "mosquito racket". You charge it up in an electric outlet, and then there is a button on the side that when you push it down, it causes an electric current to run through the metal netting. When you hit a mosquito, fly, etc. with it, it makes a zapping sound and kills them instantly. It's basically like those insect zappers we have in the states that hang with a blue light to attract the bugs and then when they get too close they get zapped by the metal mesh around it. The mosquitoes are really bad here. At around 5pm we have to close all the doors and keep the house shut for about 2 hours and then we can open back up and they're pretty well gone. Five to seven is apparently feeding time :)
The girls with their best friend, Molly.
This is my really good friend, Priscila, here in Juazeiro who is also pregnant and due in October.
I found the girls playing one afternoon... Giselle was combing Larissa's hair and 'getting her ready for bed'. A minute later Giselle was coming out of the room, shutting the door and telling Larissa to sleep good. And Larissa was quietly laying in her bed pretending to go to sleep.
One of our first days here Chad went out to the store with the girls in the morning and came home with these beautiful flowers for me!!
This is the new routine after lunch - as I clean the table off, Daddy and the girls do the dishes.
Elysia even pulled up a stool and tried to get in on the action.
This girl loves to climb up and into anything she possibly can.
They sure are 3 buds!!
OK, here is the obnoxiously huge belly I was talking about!! If you need a better look, click on the picture to see a bigger image.
The Incredible Hulk?? No, just a green lollipop :)
