Mud cookies, anyone???

of course we have to make our houses... see how they dug a hole and buried that red tub?

Pictures to color...

Garlic and spices to pound...

Seven!

Yesterday was this young lady's 7th birthday. I can hardly believe how the time flies. Seven years already?! :)

She was absolutely delighted to bake her own birthday cake. It was a green jell-O cake. :-) I had so many things to catch up on after being in the States for a week, so the birthday celebrations were on the quieter side. But Cherlise loves puzzles, so she was thrilled to spend time with Mommy and several of her siblings putting a brand new puzzle together.

Our dear "Lili", We are so thankful for you. It's a delight to watch you thrive in school and mature in so many ways. I love to watch you so gracefully twirl in the yard for sheer joy and love of life. We pray that God would raise you up to be a woman who loves Him passionately and serves Him faithfully - for His glory!
