Hangin' Out

I walked through the hallway and had to laugh. It didn't even seem abnormal to have our laundry drying all around the woodstove. :) Guess I've been here too long.

Less Is More

Look at our big seven year old who lost his two front teeth this week!

Advertsing for DummYs

I really saw this sign yesterday in Sarajevo:

BM quick fast food

Although fast food has been know to give many a quick BM, I didn't realize it was something to advertise.

What?

Oh little Jacob...Our littlest has had a difficult time learning how to say some things. Rachel and Brent often serve as translators to the rest of the world to articulate exactly what he is saying. Recently, he is speaking more and more clearly....which is not necessarily always good. This week he ask a visitor. "Han I 'sh-it' in your lap?" I had to laugh at the surprising clarity of his apparent request.

Milestones and Memories

In the last couple months I've been busy living life, too busy to write about it. Some recent milestones include:

• Brent's "Spider-man" seven birthday, complete with a web cake, a first pin-yata, and a sleep over!



• Jacob can count to 10, and learned his colors & shapes!



• Rachel is my little helper and loves to help me cook (especially sweet things).



• A few family days in Austria complete with: getting lost, breaking down, 10 hours to repair van, spending the night in the van...but worth it all!



• Brent lost his front tooth :) last week.



• Rachel has been dancing around the house in her new leotard and slippers with her "Angelina Balerina".



• Jacob is facinated with his geo-train. He loves to set it up and drive for hours!



• Brent went skiing for the first time with his daddy and our Brazilian team-mates!

These are my riches, my delight.
