5am Cartoons

Little boy jet-lag Heaven: 5am cartoons.

Jet-Lag Champ

The little guy woke up at 2am. He never fell asleep during the day, despite a few car rides. And made it until 7:30! Not bad. Let’s hope he sleeps past 2am tomorrow morning. Jet-lag, so fun.

Frankfurt Layover

We’ve been here awhile. Can you tell? 20 hours. Moving on soon.

Little Mama

“Mom, can I sit next to B and take care of him?” Uhhhhhh, why yes OF COURSE!! My girlie is a dream...

Covid International Travel Adventure

Beginning our long and crazy journey to come see our families! So thankful to have gotten tickets in these unusual times. The next two days are gonna be an COVID-international-travel-adventure!

Trampoline Play

So thankful God gave us one more child. These two play together for hours sometimes, with big imaginations!

Under the Stars

This boy slept all night on the trampoline on our sixth floor terrace. The weather is so lovely these days... 💙... and he was awake at 4:40 when the sun came up.

COVID Game Challenge

We completed our COVID-stay-at-home-play-every-game-challenge (we made up the challenge)... and played all 70 of our games (some of them many times) in the past 2.5 months. Whew!

Grapes

The grapes are soooooo good right now. Can’t get enough. The fruit in this country is amazing all year around.

Morning Light

He is Reading

In this weird season (Covid), this amazing man has sat down each afternoon to teach the little man (age 4) to read. They are past lesson 50 of 100 and IT IS WORKING.

Four

I don't even know what they were doing here on the floor, altogether as I walked out from my room. This doesn't happen often, but when it does my heart bursts.

Story

He often wakes and wants to listen to an audio story. He looks forlorn here, but I think he's just into his story. He's got story in his bones, this one.

Fire Pit Joy.

Can You Hear the Airplane Noise?

Bougainvillea Walk

Bougainvillea is my FAVORITE. It comes in all colors, it climbs all over the place, it grows everywhere! The colors and petals are beautiful and then they drop off the plants and make the ground a gorgeous petal-covered picture. We had bright pink bougainvillea near our home in our former country and I loved all the petals that ended up on our balcony. I had to sweep them up like dried up fall leaves and I loved it.

These days the flowers are in full bloom. On our walk today (with Bunny) the kids played under a white Bougainvillea tree for awhile.
