Who are my friends?

Alethia loves having friends to play with. There is usually someone new staying here everyday. So she asks in the morning "Mommy, who are my friends today?" Here are some of her friends.

From our time with the Webels in their city

We can Post Again.

We are now in the big city - awaiting the birth of our little boy. His due date is July 18th. I think he may be a view days early - but hopefully not too early. We still have some things to do. Just got a recent diaper grant from cottonbabies.com. Thank you all so much. They are going to be wonderful - 12 free Bum Genius cloth diapers. The new baby will not have to use Alethia's old nasty ones nor use the ones that are purple and hot pink. He should feel blessed.

We are staying in a nice place - sort of like a guest house. We have our own sleeping quarters and bathroom with microwave and fridge. Then there is this community area for cooking with great cooking facilities and even hot water for washing dishes. The whole place is air conditioned so I am not even sweating that much inside.

There is a pool we can use but it has a habit of turning my hair green. Not cool. Alethia is enjoying seeing so many folks and having "friends" to play with. She loves blowing bubbles and running around kicking the soccer ball. We often find her in the common area sitting amongst a big pile of books that she is "reading". She is also a big fan of puzzles and can do some pretty difficult ones with the help of mommy or daddy. She is convinced that we are having a boy and a girl - then she proceeds to count to 10 - as if her parents are planning on having that many children. I will leave that to the other J.Coppenger family and to the Lanfords. Will try to post some pics.

Hope you enjoy these photos of our 3 year old! No one would ever guess she was in tears about 15 minutes before hand.

A's 3rd Birthday Party

We had a great time celebrating A's birthday party at the beach with about 50 other folks. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and the waves. I think they even liked the fish cupcakes. Alethia was to content to eat cake and play in the sand. She didn't even open presents until we were back home - and just one family was with us. It is tradition here to not open presents in front of your guest. Check out the link. Enjoy....

From Alethia's 3rd Birthday

I felt the earth move....

under my skin - actually it was just like little butterflies - but I felt the baby move for the first time yesterday at 15 weeks. How fun - what a sensation! Either the baby likes manicotti or it was telling me he/she didn't like it.
