. 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!

* Little Ray of SUNSHINE *

 I walked out of the kitchen to check on my kids and this is what I saw:

Little Miss Riley soaking in some sunshine

and her big brother soaking in some of his little sister :)

She is pretty precious to look at:

Who's a great big brother?

"MEEEEEEE"
