Charis spent the night with us for the first time ever last night! We have been looking forward to this time ever since she was born! She slept in till 8 this morning, and we had a leisurely breakfast after teeth-brushing and getting dressed--in Jim's old Jambo Kenya T-shirt from our trip to Kenya when he was 6 years old. By the way, happy 30th birthday, Jim!
Since it was 38° and alternately raining and snowing (yes!) outside, Charis and I made our own fun inside. Well, part of the time I was outside cleaning the sliding glass doors which were semi-opaque half-way up, thanks to Hero and Zephyr! Jambo, Charis!
Peekaboo came along to try to get outside, and Charis had fun trying to pick him up. She almost managed a couple times!
Then there was the fun of watching Mimi work--and making more work for her so she wouldn't be bored!
This picture makes me think of I Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known."
I gave Charis a paper towel to play with--but she wanted to work! Just call me Grandma Sawyer!
Good job, Charis! I think I'll always save washing windows for days when you come over, you're such a good helper!
Love the pics--what a fun day! Doing everyday things looks like so much fun when you have a little helper like that! What happy memories you and Charis made for each other. Thanks for sharing--I love to read your blog.

ReplyDeleteI think it was a kiss--she's been giving them out liberally today! :)
Oh my, she's gone and done it again...she's grown AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! And she's saying more words: "Jooss." (You can figure that one out!) "Boo." That's Peekaboo! "Booh." That's book. "Nurss." You can figure that one out, too! It includes a bottle, which is why she said it to me! :) She still uses sign language, especially for "more" and "all done." "More" was the Word-of-the-Day, especially in regards to organic animal crackers. I think she devoured a bear, a lion, a cat, and a rhinoceros before I hid the bag!
ReplyDeleteSome more updates, please;-)
