At the playground

On the first warm day (and it was LOVELY, about 24 degrees!) I decided it was picnic day. That was about 17 April. We went to a park not too far away that has about 4 playground areas, each designed for different aged kids. My kids enjoy all of them! We swung, slid, jumped, and generally had a great time. We took the rollerblades along and they did a bit of skating, but mostly just ran around and had a blast. Finally!!!! As you can see, there was still a lot of snow in piles on the fields, but the playground areas were clear.




Every Sunday is pancake breakfast at our house. In mid-April, I decided Mustang could try her hand at frying the pancakes. She was very proud to be deemed old enough to work at the stove, and took great pains to make the panckaes perfect. She even declared her pancakes were much better then the ones I fry, which are often a bit dark (if not burned). Well, if I were able to give them undivided attention...

What beautiful little ones...

As a fellow adoptive parent, I thought to write and tell you about the new guest home in Ethiopia specifically for adoptive parents and volunteer groups for the benefit of orphans in Ethiopia. Now that it is up and running, we would love to share the vision with other adoptive parents. You can see more at http://www.ethiopiaguesthome.com.

If you would like to post a link, send me an email at dave@ethiopiaguesthome.com and I’ll forward you the information.

Blessings,
