Devotions at the Children’s Home. A very joyful noise!
My growing girl. Are these real kisses? Tell me what you think. You won’t burst my bubble if you don’t think so!
October happenings!
Just wanted to give you a look into Lilia’s daily life!
Everywhere she goes she enchants everyone she meets. The kids at the Care Center love her and always ask to carry her and share their toys with her!
She also tries to pull her weight in the ministry. She is always a cheerful worker!
It’s usually quite the fight to give Lilia love at the Children’s Home. All the kids have an idea of how to best take care of her and they make sure that they teach everyone else the right way!
Dirty little piggy LOVES oatmeal!
She also loves to read….well, most of the time!
Sometimes we have other missionary kids over who want to help too!
When all else fails, cuddle with daddy?
Our latest attempt to get her to take her medicine is in juice in her sippy cup. It works about 1/3 of the time. Our backup plan is much more unpleasant and much less effective.
Lilia is nowhere close to crawling. This is in part because she isn’t really too interested and also every square inch of our apartment has these slippery tile floors. When she tries to push herself up she usually slides backwards. This is her making her way around her room, backwards of course. She’ll get it someday!
Lilia and Elise’s 6K
Lilia and Elise ran to fight breast cancer this past weekend!
Elise has been running since a few weeks after Lilia was born, but started running with the jogging stroller a couple months ago to be ready for this race.
The race started at the mall, went out to the nearby horse track, around the horse track (which was partial sand, dirt, and mud…didn’t know that was coming), on the PanAmerican highway, and finished again at the mall. It was a lot of fun.
SURPRISE! There were also about 2 dozen speed bumps and a lot of these little raised things as well. We had to slow down a little for each one!
She finished the race in about 34 minutes (adjusted from start time.) Adding Lilia to the mix made it a lot harder, but was fun. The little trooper even fell asleep.
