Just a few home shots....

Jasmin 1 month old hanging out with daddy

A try for a family shot...

Grace in a bucket full of tennis balls. She has great fun with them! (She has a logan seed in her mouth - it isn't her teeth!)

Wonderfully fun discovery... and a nice mess for mommy to clean up!

Not much is happening here now that we have all the paperwork sent in... though that took us a full three days of driving around, filling forms, getting pictures taken, etc. Now we just wait and pray Jasmin's passport comes in time to book a ticket to Cambodia before the 29th when our Thai visa runs out!


So here are a few pics of things that happen these days:

Lying Around - with giggles as they get to know each other better. Jasmin's more awake now, and Grace likes to play. Must be watched like a hawk though, as she can suddenly turn rough.

One of the jars of roses left over from the shower. Grace loved them till she accidentally found the thorns...

Enthusiastic Dishwasher
One whiny day I had Grace on the counter while I did the dishes. She began to "help" wash a pot left on the side. When I wanted to finish up and put the pot in the sink, Grace climbed in after it to finish her job!

4 year-old Twin's Serenade
Yesterday Ziggy (who we stayed with last month for a week)brought her girls over to see Jasmin. We heard a lot of tuneless recorder playing , but the smiles and proud looks holding Jasmin made up for it easily.

A few pictures from the first week

Delighted with a puffy quilt for playing on!
We were given a small shower for Jasmin today. This beautiful quilt was an instant hit with both girls.
Moments before the first guests arrived, I discovered Grace like this... She had found a half empty flower pot on the front deck...


Beautiful dreamers...


Grace likes to play with these math blocks. She even sounds likes she's counting them - in Khmer even though she hears 1-2-3 in English more often.

Adjusting "Home"
checking out baby sister

Trying out Jasmin's carseat...

We bought Grace a coming home toy. She likes it a lot, not according to her expression here!

Girls in pink - matching dresses; thankyou Imma!
