Ready for a walk



Maggie loves to push a baby doll in her baby doll stroller if we try to take Elizabeth Ann for a walk in her stroller. You can see Maggie here on our road. These little walks will be a precious memory to me!

Blowing bubbles


Ever since Maggie has learned how to blow bubbles, it is one of her favorite things to do. Sometimes it seems like bubbles are all she can think about. She LOVES to run outside and blow bubbles every chance she gets!

Opening birthday presents with big sister's help


Elizabeth Ann's birthday cake


Birthday girl


This is Elizabeth Ann at her first birthday party.

Riding in her little red wagon


One of Elizabeth Ann's favorite things to do these days is to ride around in her little red wagon!

Eating ice cream


Maggie got to pick out her flavor, and of course, Elizabeth Ann had to have some, too.

Playing with Maw maw


This is what happened when "Maw Maw" tried to do anything...

Christmas dresses


"Maw Maw's" bed

Maggie wanted to sleep in Maw Maw's bed every chance she got. Both girls had a good time playing in Maw Maw'sbed before bedtime.

Christmas decorations in Bangkok




Christmas tree for "Maw Maw"


Maggie was so excited to decorate this little tree for "Maw Maw's" arrival. It was even more thrilling when "Maw Maw" brought Maggie little candy canes she could hang all over it!

Pictures


This is supposed to be a picture of the girls dressed up and ready for a "meeting." Of course, these are their favorite poses...Maggie being silly and Elizabeth Ann just enthralled with whatever big sister is doing.

Elizabeth Ann's new smile


This little grin is getting to be Elizabeth Ann's little trademark, now that she is getting some teeth on top (at 11 months).

Ready to go!


Just another picture of Alysia and the girls...ready to go out.

swing


Here is Maggie swinging in a little swing our helpers put together for her in the yard. They put the swing together out of a blanket, and climbed high up in the tree to tie it up for her.

Maggie at Deepawali

Deepawali is an Indian holiday celebrated by many in our country. Here, Maggie is dressed up in a sari given to her by some of our friends for her birthday. She felt that this sari was real princess attire and kept calling herself "princess" all night when she wore it. At this dinner celebrating Deepawali, one friend had brought Maggie a mask to play with, and is here demonstrating to her how to use it.

Maggie in dinosaur feet



When Maggie's buddy Adon turned four, he had a dinosaur birthday party. Adon's mom had lots of fun games at the party, including one where the kids did a relay stomping around in "dinosaur feet." Here is Maggie getting her stomps in.

Maggie's birthday


This is a picture of Maggie and a few friends on her third birthday, at her Dora the Explorer birthday party.

This is a picture of Maggie, Alysia, and Elizabeth Ann playing in the ocean at Setse.

Riding in a horse cart


In the areas where we visited in the southern part of our country, it was very common to see people using horse carts to get around. Maggie was very excited to see all the horses everywhere, so I promised to ride one with her. Here we are with a Mon guy riding in a horse cart...it was a really neat experience to listen to him speaking in the Mon language, which we had never heard before.

Cows on the beach


This is a picture of Chad on our Moulmein trip. We were very close to the southern coast of our country, so one afternoon we visited Setse beach. I thought it was pretty funny that there were cows running up and down the beach when we got there. Maggie loved getting a chance to see the beach.

Elizabeth Ann at Ebeneezer



This is a picture of Elizabeth Ann, at eight months, in front of Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Moulmein on our recent trip. Adoniram Judson started this church there almost 200 years ago, so it was really neat to get to visit this place.

Trying


Elizabeth Ann is trying to walk, and is getting there soon enough!

"Memaw" and "Pepaw"


This is a picture of Maggie and Elizabeth Ann with Memaw and Pepaw from their trip in July. We all went to Maggie's favorite park, where she also had her birthday party.

Mrs. Jean demonstrates technique

Mrs. Jean showed us how to use all the tools she and the team had brought for all our friends. Everyone really enjoyed learning and having fun together.
