Happy Birthday Niyema!

Niyema just had her first birthday and we celebrated today with a little cake. She dug right into the gooey, sweet frosting and got it all over herself. Now she’s all sugared up and ready to keep her mom busy the rest of the day.

She is growing so fast and is so close to walking. She’s standing up with just a little bit of help and you can tell she wants to take that next step, but hasn’t been able to do it yet. Any day now, though.

Happy birthday, Niyema!

More stuff from France

I’m pretty much done going through the 696 photos I took while in France. My room is being renovated this summer, with a fresh paint job and lower ceilings. I’m hoping to have some of the shots framed and displayed, and I took plenty of boring shots of things like bakeries and fruit markets with that in mind. But I also got lots of shots of students having a great time while in France – Miguel is standing in front of the Mona Lisa (la Jaconde is the real name of the painting!) and you can see that she’s really not all that big. We also visited the Pompidou center and had some fun goofing around with a shopping cart on our last evening in France.

Bubbles

Summertime is bubble time! Little kids love bubbles, especially little girls. Marie and Grace had fun last night just blowing bubbles all over the patio. Some of the bubbles were pretty impressive.

Grace hasn’t quite gotten the hang of blowing bubbles yet. She huffed and she puffed, but the bubbles just wouldn’t come out.
