Grandpa's Gum

Ir quote from today: "Can you move to Wurren in a couple years
because I want some gum?" She does talk on occasion about Grandpa's
gum... its kind of amusing because he has this stash of gum which she
found and which she was allowed liberal access to. This is something
that looms large in her mind when she talks about Wurren.
Another Ir quote: "I want to go to America in a couple hours, not a
couple years."
More seriously, it has been interesting to see her come to talk
about flying to America or to Wurren or to Philadelphia fairly
frequently over the past couple months. One of her favorite pretend
play activities is to assemble various cushions as 'luggage,' and to
pretend to enter a plane for her flight to sometimes Galmi, but more
often America. Its just benign but I don't want to see it develop into
a constellation of signs pointing to a dissatisfaction with where God
has called us to live.

 We had a lot of fun introducing the kids to 2 day old baby J today.  A keeps saying 'Sooo cute.'

Our House Part 2

And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
