Tim's Reentry into the Music World

It's Tea Party Time!

Today the little girls joined me for a Tea Party! They came all dressed up with their favorite dollies. We had chocolate chip mini muffins, chocolate-peanut butter covered bananas, candies, and hot chocolate and lemonade. How is that for a well balanced snack? Tomorrow is Krista's 3rd birthday so we sang to her, too. We all had so much fun that I am sure we will do it again!



And don't feel sorry for Micaiah. He and Papi had a full afternoon. They went to lunch at KFC and then delivered a care package together before they took off on an afternoon bike ride.
Gotta love vacation time :-)

Sweet Elise is 16!

Happy Birthday, Elise!! We hope that our "all grown up" granddaughter has a wonderful day. We love you!

Miriam and Mimi get ready for Papi's Return!

Yesterday Miriam came over for lunch and to help make some cookies (thanks, Aunt Brenda, for the Big Soft Ginger Cookies recipe --yumm!). We were getting ready for Papi to come back from Algrange and wanted to make it special.

At one point, Miriam climbed up on the stool and said "It's my birthday and now I am grown up." "And how old are you now?" The reply "16!" I laughed and said, "Do you know that your big cousin Elise is going to be 16 tomorrow?"

Papi made it home safely via Paris (his train was canceled) and he loves his cookies :-)

Playing Duets

Saying goodbye to Papi

Because of "la grève," Papi got off a day late for his trip up north to teach at the Bible institute. Miriam got a field trip to the train station out of it.

Patience & Stefan Having Fun!

Weigh-in time

Monday, at his latest wellness checkup, Zacharie weighed in at 9.4 kilograms, or 20.7 pounds. We are thankful to God for our healthy, growing boy.
