Funny words: Lame and Elephone

We got jacob a little present for being such a big boy and not having any accidents all week. We are so proud of him! We found this cool little toy/book basket that has some cool English on it. You can see the "lame chick" and on the bottom it says "elephone". pretty funny stuff

Also- the post of our new baby has the pic of Liz and the kids under the photo of the workers. The English text says "Life Becomes Warm, Because of Us". :)

Fun Dinner with friends




We had a great time on Sunday night with some new friends.
We have a friend who we providentially met in Tulsa who is from our city here. She is very nice and connected us to her classmates that live here (that have been very helpful) and her parents. Her parents took us out to eat a very nice restaurant and we all had a great time. There was a bird who spoke a lot- pretty funny. He said Happy Birthday in another language. :) Jacob and Lydia enjoyed all of the attention and they ate a lot of watermelon!

Jacob's a big boy!



Jacob was such a big boy today! He asked to wear underwear this morning and kept himself dry all day (except for a small accident when out shopping). He even kept himself dry during his nap. We went out to Papa John's to celebrate and he went poo-poo in the squatty-potty there! We were all so excited and so proud! The second picture is of his new potty that we got at a garage sale here, we think it has been a large part of his inspiration.

Pictures of Baby #3




We made our first trip to the hospital and Liz got an ultrasound so that we could see the new baby. The baby's heartbeat looked good and the due date is June 20th. Also, thank you for lifting Liz up, she has been feeling much better the last couple of days!

Who would you choose as your doctor?




We are so thankful for our friends who gave us a ton of hand me down toys when we arrived here. The kids have really enjoyed them. This is a doctor dress up outfit that was in there. I am not sure who I would choose as my doctor between the two- how about you?

Exercise for old people :)



At the playgrounds, there are these funny things like striders that we are told are for "old people". Our kids like playing on them- but we definitely have to watch them closely. :)

Drums, drums, and more drums

It took us a while to figure out what was going on a couple days ago- we kept hearing these loud drums. We went out one of our gates of our apartment and saw about 15 drums, a bunch of ladies with small flags, and a ton of big flower arrangements. They played very loudly every 10 minutes all day long for 3 days. This was to announce the grand opening of a store. Pretty fun stuff- the people here really like their drums and big fanfare.
