:: Little Stinker ::

Apparently this little stinker thinks some things are TOO awesome to outgrow :)
Any time Riley is not in this, he squats down, slides the button to vibrate, then assumes the position.
Hey- i guess we all have our preferred methods of relaxation, right?


Crazy boy was totally faking he was asleep here... Gotta love him!

HUGS & KISSES

 Levi loves to say "Hold her... Hold her?" and he especially loves when Riley sneaks him a kiss ;)


I couldn't be more proud of what a GREAT big brother Levi is to Riley.
And I couldn't adore another little girl as much as I adore my Riley Jo- she has started smiling and cooing and I LOVE IT!

So grateful that the Father has given me two PRECIOUS little lives to soak in moments like these with!

:: Job Swiper ::

Looks like someone is trying to steal my job of taking care of Riley:



Really- he just puts it on and says "Belly"- LOL.
He always keeps me laughing!

.Love this boy.

. Strawberry Bottom .


Our little Strawberry bottom and her big brother- 
(who thinks he is both a doctor in charge of her medicine and an airplane pilot as he "flies" those same drops... he has quite the imagination these days)

:: Climbing @ the Park ::

After Riley was born, we had some time still in the capital city- so we ventured out to check out a new park that had some "rocks" Levi could climb on. 

It was a GREAT find- Lots of room to run, climb, play, and beautiful surroundings:
Melt my heart!


Watch out y'all- he's a natural:

I love seeing by boys hand in hand:


Cuddling with my girl:

You know we have been itching to get this little guy on some real rock-

He did GREAT!





True South Asia style- our taxi driver wanting a picture with Levi... TOOOOOTALLY normal :)



And then our "family" picture
taken by our taxi driver
(not so clear, but hey- it works)

This little guy LOVES to run
"Mark... Set... GO!"

Levi never meets a stranger.
He just walks right up to new folks and greets them with a "Hi Bhaiya!"
(its kind of precious)


So thankful for FUN parks and opportunities for my little guy to work on his rock climbing technique ;)
Little gifts from the Lord!

REWIND: Summit Time

 Our time in our delivery city had a GREAT kick off!
We spent the first couple days with some folks from our fellowship in NC....
one of them being Craig's old boss and our dear friend, Spence.

Levi & Spence became good friends pretty quickly... it was precious watching them together!
(Thanks Courtney for lending him to us)


Another family from Summit was also in town, so Levi scored some play time with his buddy Elliot:
 Hugs & all:
 (or does it look more like tackle? :) )
Me & Elliot's Mama:

Can't tell you how encouraging it is to spend time with this guy- I know Craig was soaking up every minute of it!
This is just OUT OF CONTROL... yet HILARIOUS!!!
 Even Levi was thinking "Say WHAAAAT?"

This whole team was a JOY to be around
(However- this was their "South Asian" pose- all business, no smiles)
 Can you expect anything less when they willingly put on these RIDICULOUS hats??? 
;)


"Spence, do you WEALLY have to go back to the States???"

So grateful for good friends and fellowships that LOVE on us SO well!!!!

 You guys ROCK!
