Enjoying ice cream on a hot Texas summer day. I was quite proud of the braids I put in Tarikwa's hair. *grin*

Everybody has been doing well! During these few weeks we’ve doing all sorts of fun, crafts and sports to help the new ones adjust to their new life. A couple of days ago we dyed play silks with food coloring and kool-aid which surprisingly was a big hit.




The little girls are hatching all sorts of plans. I had a row of them in my room the other day at the foot of my bed on bended knee pleading for me to record a CD of them singing. Mimi and Tarikwa are really quite good strong singers as well as dancers! Tarikwa loves the singing the intro to the Lion King "Seemba" as she calls it.

The scene I came upon when I heard peals of laughter from Mom and Dad's bedroom

Haile is really quite the mischievous one. He got a hold of one of our plastic snakes yesterday hid it under the covers of Tucker’s bed. Dad remarked on the huge grin on Haile’s face as he existed the bedroom. Speaking of Tucker, his new nickname given by Tarikwa is “Tiger”. In the evenings, you will hear “Tiger! Tiger’s here!

Wednesday we with a few folks from our church, went down to Stephenville for an outdoor free Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder bluegrass concert.


It was fun watching the girls with their glowstick bracelets twirling in circles to Uncle Pen.
