Saturday fun outside

We just got back from dinner and I'm posting now, sorry for the delay. I usually post in the afternoon when y'all are still asleep, but I napped all afternoon today after playing "catch the toddlers" on the playground all morning with all 3 kids. I think we'll opt for indoor playtime on Monday, although the weather then is supposed to be as beautiful out as it was today (sunny and 60). Thanks for everyone praying for us to get a court date soon, it can't come soon enough! Hopefully we'll have news tomorrow when the lawyer meets with the judge.

I took a few shots of the kids today, although you can only take so many shots of kids playing in a sandbox before they all look alike. :-)

Today we brought grapes, and they were a big hit. They like them just as much as candy, so this is one healthy habit we'll definitely like to see continue when we get home. We ran out of juiceboxes (aka Red Bull for kids), so we've just been letting them drink bottled water, which they like just as much. Again, another habit to continue back home.



Vala posing for the camera, in her red outdoor outfit. Again, love the stylin' hat. Another girl Vala's age had on the exact same outfit (see video below).






Speaking of hats, check out what they had Talia Ira wearing today...it looks like a pink chef's hat or something. :-)






One of the first English things I taught Alex Maskim was to say "good job!" and give a thumbs up (it's SOOO cute). He knows he did well when mama or papa says "good job!"



I shot this great video of Alex Maksim dancing with one of the other kids (dressed just like Vala). I noticed that the other adoptive parents who were playing the "musika" had taught Alex to do the "Pulp Fiction Dance" you see here, I was laughing so hard I could barely hold the camera still! :-)
