My Kids' AWESOME Experience



Grandma Char hosted 2 kids from Kenya this month as they were touring for a dancing and singing group. She requested kids that were similar in age to Madison and Zach. Sarah (age 11), and Randu (age 12) were fun to be with. Sarah was very shy and beautiful. Randu was full of character and life. He loved to dance and even taught Madison and Zach the "Macaraina".

Madison, Zach and Lucy were able to spend the whole day Thursday and some of Friday with these great kids. They went to McDonald's because Sarah and Randu had recently discovered the great joys of french fries. YUM! At Hollywood Connection, they rode rides and played miniature golf.

Lucy had it the best. She didn't have to walk for 2 days!! Randu or Sarah packed her all over the place.

The children's choir from Africa put on a show for their host families that was great! I loved the my children got to have this experience. They bonded so well with Sarah and Randu I couldn't have every asked for more. I hope this will be something they remember forever.


Lucy's Birthday



Lucy turns four!!!
Lucy Bleu's birthday was August 13th. No one who has been around her would be able to forget it because she tells everyone the date very clearly. She has been waiting, not always patiently, for this day. She is so excited to finally be four. She now gets to have her own "Lemonade Stand", or so she says anyway. In the meantime, she has been having "Nerd Stands" where she eats most of her inventory before it sales.

We had a small family party at McDonalds (YUCK!). She has even said some "garbage words" since it's her birthday and "You can swear on your birthday". This is Brandon's fault, but I'll spare you the details. :(
