Funny Lipstick

While I was putting Micah to bed last evening, the girls were playing in their room. It wasn't long before I heard lots of giggles and they both ran to look in the mirror. I asked them what they were doing, and they said, "we are putting lipstick on"! I found them with markers in hand and mouths covered with marker. (They used the markers as their 'lipstick'.) They called it their "funny lipstick". Oh my. They make me laugh!

(It's kinda hard to see how colorful they were with their lips in this picture. The markers are very washable, so I wasn't worried.)


David was away all day at our 'office'. (Actually, we don't have an office right now. Yet, our co-workers are being very generous and letting us use their apartment as an office until they return.) He was studying language all day and had a session as well. When I called him around supper time, he just said, "I'm overwhelmed"! I guess that's how we are feeling as we are learning this language. Yet, I think that's normal too, as I felt that way before.

If you think about it, we'd appreciate your thoughts for David today. This afternoon, he was asked to speak with a journalist as they want to interview him. (We aren't sure if it's for the newspaper or TV.) We think it has to do with the recent project we did at the psychiatric hospital. Just think about him, that he will be able to think clearly and say the right words... what he would want him to say. Thanks!

During our bed-time thinking time together, Aria said, "And thank-you for making Uncle Eddie, uncle Artur, uncle Jans, uncle Dennis, .... and thank-you for loving Uncle Eddie, uncle Artur, ... (she listed all the people in David's family and my family)... and thank-you for making all the people, and thank-you for loving all the people, ... (very l-o-n-g thinking time, but also very cute!)

Lately, this is what we've been hearing from the girls:

"Micah, you can play with this toy... but DON'T put it in your mouth!"

"Mommy, this toy is all wet!!!"
