Water

The girls LOVE playing in the water. We let them run in the sprinkler on hot days and lately, everyday has been a HOT day. They have such a blast! Here is a video of them (I just figured out I can do this!). It is so funny watching them get so excited about water.

These last two weeks have seen us starting home school. We wanted to get the girls up and running before the baby comes. It has been a real blessing that we have because it takes so much time to pick out curriculum, send it back when you realize it's not what you want, figure out what you want again and start the process over :). We have no idea what we're doing but the Lord has blessed us with girls who are really excited about school and learning. Turi just can't wait to actually begin. Their final books arrived last night by UPS (he always shows up about 8) and we were just on our way back from a friend's house. When he pulled up, the girls ran up to the truck screaming, "Our books! Our books!". I bet that made the UPS man's day.

Pray for us as we need the wisdom to be teachers and the patience to work through things with the girls (especially as they continue to learn English). Pray for Turi as she begins her classes and is so excited to move forward. Pray that the Lord would bless her efforts because she is going to give it 120%. Pray for Bitsu as she is learning how to learn and it can be hard for her to sit still. Pray for creativity as we work together. Pray for Tihi as she has always been the baby and is still learning that she also has to help out with chores or actually do school. Even though she is excited about it, it might be hard for her to actually get into routine.

July 22nd is Turi's b-day. Stay tuned for some great pics!
