Return from Africa

So when my MIL left Liberia yesterday, it was sunny and 90 degrees outside.

They are currently stuck in Belgium because of the feet of snow being dumped on the East Coast/Midwest for the second time in a few days.

So, they were hoping to catch a flight early this morning to the States. But even if they managed that, they still have to figure out how to get to Ohio once they land. It’s going to be a long day for them. Please pray that the right flights open up and they get home safely.

Also, I was thinking I would do an interview with Pam about her trip and post it here, since some of you were interested in hearing about her experience. So, if you have any questions about her trip or Africa or whatever, let me know and I’ll see if I can get that done!

In baby news…

Alex is probably a week or so from figuring out how to climb onto the couch. Unfortunately, the couch is where we have “hidden” all the stuff we didn’t want them to have, so I have no idea where we will put all that stuff once he figures it out!

Both babies are inching closer (somewhat literally) to learning how to go down the stairs safely. Alex prefers sliding down on his stomach – going up in reverse. Erin seems to be more inclined to do the “bump-n-scoot” method. But either one works for me.

Erin has figured out that she can take her bib off. And she pulls it off regularly while she eats. I think I’m going to have to start pinning it around her neck or something. Sheesh…

Yesterday, they were playing together with a riding toy. Alex was sitting on it backwards. Erin was standing, facing him, pulling and pushing the toy with him on it. Both were giggling, having a marvelous time. I was watching, wishing I could get the video camera without interrupting them (I couldn’t) when Erin leaned over, held out her arms towards Alex and gave him a “hug” – and he leaned his head on her shoulder and grinned. It was too cute! And I was really sorry to have missed that moment with the camera!

And now, Erin is crying, so I’d better go see what happened…happy Tuesday! Enjoy the snow (if you got it)!
