Monkeys, etc.

Time sure is winding down. 26 days from today until we begin our journey north. We leave Juazeiro on the 2nd. Chad's mom meets us in Fortaleza on the 3rd, and on the 5th we fly out! This first picture is of the countdown calendar I made for the girls and have it hanging on the refrigerator. Each morning we put a sticker over the previous day. Chad informed me that the calendar looks very 'girly', but I guess that's what happens when you have 4 little girls!

Here are the girls ready for night-time devotions.

Can anyone guess what these two pictures are??? The answer is under the next picture...

No, not gum...... they were crayons that were left lay on the concrete outside in the hot sun. Just to give you an idea of the intensity of the heat here!

This was at our friends' house on Sunday afternoon. They have mango trees, and there is a big family of little monkeys that live in them. We got bananas for them, and they came down really close to us to get them. There were even 2 that were carrying little babies on their backs.

Here's one with a baby on its back.
