Fun at the Merida's...

Filling our days with coloring, cartoons and outdoor fun...
Victoria took a little nap at the table...
Jana showed Amy how the Matroyshka dolls we gave her worked...
Angela showing the others how coloring is done...
The guys worked outside Saturday on the yard and putting up a basketball goal...
After coloring, it was time to dance.  Jana and Vica enjoy interpretive dance with blankets...
While Angela prefers gymnastics...
Titus doesn't know what to think...
Amy had stopped by and joined in the fun...
Grandpa is the king of tickle wars...

Routine is getting established enabling us to focus on some behavioral issues.  All in all, the kids are doing well.  Most of the time they are playing well with each other and enjoying dancing, play dough, swinging and the like.  Our greatest challenges at present are: language acquisition (we need to divide and conquer - ha ha), sharing with one another, and submitting to authority (i.e. mama and papa :)...  Today we enjoyed our first Sunday as a family at church.  The girls lasted through half of Papa's sermon before I heard, "Mama - toilet!"   After our bathroom visit I took them over to the children's area to see the fish in aquariums.  They loved it!  Thanks for your continued prayers!  God is good!

I'm just catching up. The kids are doing wonderfully. Ours adore the rain and getting wet. They wear their swim wear most of the time. The sweltering heat is an issue we are working on as well. Nothing like the humidity in the south, huh?!

Praying for you often regarding all the changes for ya'll and the kids. I know God will continue to help you. We are doing well and facing the future with much prayer and peace.
