Back to normal life around our house.
We are happy to report that David's Dad, Darryl, has made a great recovery from his surgery and barring any other set backs they will be heading back to the Philippines this weekend to resume their guest house ministry with New Tribes Mission. We had a great visit with them and look forward to seeing them this summer for weddings.
Hannah and Grandma Becky making a puzzle!
So with our house back to our present family size of 6 and no traveling planned....what is a body to do?
Well if you are our lazy Liberty, you lay around and sweetly beg from Drew!!!
Only to have Drew get up and dress you in his shorts instead!!
Seriously, I thought he had gotten over this dress up thing when he packed away his Davy Crockett hat!!!
Wasn't this the kid that was talking about college this weekend?!?
Well life is never boring!!
So this morning Caleb and I spent a good deal of time trying to teach Hannah how to add!!!
I must say we did not get to far--here is one of our discussions---
ME--Hannah if you have one dog and Caleb has two dogs...How many dogs do you have together?
HANNAH--five
CALEB--Hannah you only have one and I have two (holding up his fingers)
HANNAH--four
She could get 1+1 and that was about it. But a few weeks ago 1+1 was 11(eleven). So we are making progress.
Just part of the challenges of teaching a child with learning delays. I do still feel her delays are due to her early malnutrition. They may be permanent, they may not. So little is out there on the long term affects.
But what I do know, is that, I am very, very thankful that Hannah is our gift to raise!!!
I love my job!!!!
