Update November 7,2009
Joseph tried to bring his OWN potty chair to "Babyschool". He was so disappointed that he had to leave his at home.
Moses asked when he is older he will get married...then he said about 16 in ethiopia. Is this the same here???Both Louie and I looked at each other and after choking explained that it is our hope for him to finish college THEN get married.
Moses and Isaiah were talking about their favorite meal in Ethiopia was when on Special occasions they had Lamb. They described in great DETAIL how to prepare the lamb, how they kill it, drain the blood into a bucket and cook it til it gels then eat it...they said yummy...tastes like sega (steak). Then they talked about how to butcher it...
Isaiah and Caleb do not like the dark. They still ask about the hyenas and the lions sneaking around. Not in America.
October 1st it was cold and windy the kiddos came home from school and said it was TOO cold. We explained to them that it was not cold yet...All 6 little voices said that it was SOOOO cold. They wanted to wear FULL winter gear. Wait until the temperature REALLY gets cold witht he snow and ice.
We all attended a wedding October 3rd. The kids first American Wedding. They had a great time and actually danced. The girls tried to catch the bouquet and the boys tried to catch the garter. Although they had their eyes covered when the groom took it off the bride. Sophie can REALLY dance. If it has a beat she can dance to it.
Moses has worked very hard with Louie getting the cabin ready for winter. All the kiddos had fun raking the leaves but keep asking WHY the leaves fall off the tree? We tried to explain the change of seasons to them.
Our neighbor at the cabin puts corn on his beach for the ducks. The kids just noticed today. They asked why is that corn there? Our good friend Judy said "to feed the ducks". Moses replied to "EAT?" Judy said no..no...just to feed them? Later the kids were stalking that area to see if the ducks would come. Lucky for the ducks they did not show up while the kiddos were there. LUCKY DUCKS...our kiddos said they would like to EAT them and would catch them for papa and mama.
Joseph, Isaiah, Moses, Gabrielle, and Sophie all had to get glasses. Caleb sees like a cat and didn't need them. He was jealous at first but now "sees" that it is not very much fun...
All had their 3rd "catch up" sets of immunizations. So that was 4 shots a piece times 6 kids, then on Monday H1N1 vaccine, and today for fun and extra kicks they all got their flu vaccine. Moses was asking if in America why so many shots over and over and over. The poor kiddo thinks this is his life....shot....shot....shot. He said Ethiopia NO SHOTS...America LOVE shots!
Julie is finally up out of her chair walking short distances and can even drive short distances. NO stairs or inclines. Feels great to have a set of wheels that are not attached to my rear-end!
