Well an update on
Christmas, we all had a wonderful
Christmas's'. Yes plural, 4 actually, in a row. It was a lot of fun. The best part was watching
Jadon open his gifts. He really likes ripping paper, playing with ribbon,
boxes... gift are cool too! We didn't get any still shots of
Jadon during Christmas but lots of video.
Jadon is waving (the adorable open the whole hand and close it wave),
giving kisses (when asked give "mommy / daddy kisses" he opens his mouth and
puts his lips on your cheek, sometimes he needs reminding there are no teeth in kissing!),
pulling up (he loves to stand and wants to pull up on everything, we are only not agreeing about this in the bath tub, don't you think that would be really cold?),
walking while assisted (just started and doing well),
cute as ever (no explanation needed),
and not crawling (he would prefer to just roll to everything that is on his sides and if something is in front of him, whine at me until I give him what he wants or move him where he wants, but I know we will REALLY have our hands full when he is fully mobile)!
These posts our late because our camera has been at Detour, where David has been the last week. Detour is our mission trip to the South Modesto area (super scary, never would even want to drive through area.) David, 7 leaders, and 63 students camped down at the Red Shield, in that area, for 5 days. Through out their stay 20 kids and teenagers were led to the Lord, well over $1000 dollars of
groceries were given away, countless clothes were distributed, nearly a ton of trash was hauled away from a future ministry location, two
vacation bible schools were ran, a winter
festival was held for the kids and lots more! The trip was a huge success! And we are glad to have him home! Jadon was so happy to see David. He would hug his neck, look at him, hug his neck, look at him... when I would ask Jadon if he wanted to come to me he would hug his daddy's neck and look away (I got the point!) It made David's day. But don't worry at 7:00pm when he began to get tired it was mommy, mommy, only mommy!
Hello! Sorry I have been so lame! We have been so busy! Here a brief update of what we have been doing! These are pictures of us with our foreign exchange student from France! Her name is Manon (pronounced Ma known, kind of). We had a great time with her! She stayed with us about 2 weeks. She had a great time in America. She tried to teach us some French, mostly unsuccessfully and we tried to communicate in English! And, she brought us lots of cool things from France (like the picture above), this is very French she told us. It is foie gras I will let you look up what it is! It actually reminded me a lot of cream cheese. She also brought us escargot. We didn't have time to have the escargot but hopefully she will come back in August and cook it for us!! Right Manon!
