Since our last post, we have been trying to find our own place to live. Since we are only able to look on the weekend, it has been a slow process. We are also finding restrictions we have to deal with. Today we were scheduled to look at a place only to find out that the owner did not rent to foreigners. It is far different from renting in the States, so we are learning as we go and trusting the Lord will guide us where we should be.
Maika is becoming quite skilled at holding on to something and walking like a crab in a sidestep. She has recently started to raise her hand, so we give her a high 5 which brings a big smile to her face. Today she ate a whole banana in one sitting; we didn't know she could fit that much in her tummy. We are continually amazed and thankful that the Lord would choose us to care for this beautiful creation of His.

There's a kid's room in our complex that we like to take Maika to. In it, there is a shelf of books that she likes to get into.
Mommy: "Maika! What are you doing?"
Maika: "Just looking for a book I like."
Maika: "This is the one I was looking for; it tastes the best."
Mommy: "Can't you find something better to chew on?"
Maika: "Is this better?"
Oh how can one face change oh so very quickly.
