This is just to show off my cute girls right now. They change so fast I want you to see what they're like right now. Abby is 6, Kaylee is 4, and Sydney is somewhere between 18 months and 2 years old. =) Abby has just recently lost two of her bottom teeth. Kaylee is LOVING knowing her letters, and Sydney is starting to talk up a storm!

So, we kept Gabe, Caleb and Madeline during Spring Break for the week while Jeremy and Ann celebrated their 10th anniversary in South Africa. We had a great time all together. The kids get along so well...like brothers and sisters. Yes, fighting and fussing included! =) Anyway, here are a couple highlights we got pics of.
The kids decided to play cowboy safari. The bikes were the horses and they were roping the animals they "saw". This game lasted about 4 hours!!!! It was awesome!

Some of you may recognize what's going on here...this is Daniel's REMIX 2010!!!! woo woo!!!! (done in a very loud voice with the woo woo cut short at the end of the word and in a high voice). So, he had the dance mix going and the kids were loving all the noise and jumping around. They are just too cute!!!!!!!
I DID IT!!!
Easter
We had a great Easter. Church was wonderful with worshipful, celebratory songs, a meaningful message with an invitation, and we could feel God's presence. We came home and the girls went down for a nap before we went to some friends' house for a brunch lupper. Does that make sense? ha ha So, we tried to take family Easter pictures (FAILED MISERABLY) and then had lunch and an egg hunt. The girls loved hunting the eggs. Pam'ma made their Easter dresses and the girls looked so cute in their coordinating dresses. Their Easter baskets are from Masai market. I did not know what Syd's favorite color was yet....but I found out (through the throw down fit she threw trying to get Abby's) that PINK is her favorite color but she calls it purple! Next year I'll make sure she gets to choose her color basket. =)

Super Friends!!!! Gabe and Caleb were the ONLY boys at the party...almost the only boys on campus!!!!
Super Kaylee (otherwise known as KimPossible) fighting off the evil Dr. Dan-gerous with her super loud horn!!!
The blows were flying between Super Girl and Dr. Dan-gerous!
Super Kaylee's cake...chocolate, of course...pink, of course (only because I told her I couldn't make a pretty purple). =)
Kaylee and all her superhero friends at her 4th birthday party!
Picture update
So, it's been another little while and I have more pictures to show what's been going on. We went to Egypt for Christmas and spent 3 weeks with Mom and Dad, Dema and Steve. We all LOVED it! Abby turned 6 in December, Kaylee just turned 4 on the 11th of this month, and we've had lots of "stuff" in between. Here are some pictures so you can see...
We went to the beach house while we were all there. The girls played in the waves. It was so beautiful and refreshing!

Who wouldn't be excited by a pile of presents twice as tall as yourself??? =)
Syd enjoyed getting to know Pop and Tayta again, and Aunt Dee got the "privilege" of being Syd's bud. We're still working on Uncle Steve... =)

Getting ready for Christmas
I must say that it really is hard to get into the Christmas spirit here. It's hot, sunny, tropical...beautiful, but not Christmas. Even thought the shopping areas here have put up Santa Clauses that play music (last year it was The Yellow Rose of Texas) and there are lights and trees everywhere...it somehow makes it a little silly. We did get our tree up and have wrapped a few gifts to put under it. We're listening to Christmas music and trying to watch lots of movies, too. It's fun. We're really looking forward to our trip to Egypt to see family and to be in "cold" weather.
