Getting Ready to Scoot

I'm not moving yet....but I'm getting close. I'm in position, I'm bouncing around....I just haven't quite taken off yet. Don't worry....everything in its own time, I hate to be rushed about these things.

My First Swim

Mommy took Akira and I to the pool today at TGT to meet up with Madeline and her family and Freddy and his family.

It was my first time to swim....how fun!!! At first I was a bit tentative, but once Mommy showed me that there was splashing to be done, I thought the whole experience got a lot better!

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go

Well,

Today was our court hearing. It did not go well. I was dressed so pretty and really ready to hear good news....

However, the Judge was in a very cranky mood today. There were a few typos in the social workers report, none of them material to the case, but the Judge would not hear the petition until the typos were fixed. So, he postponed the hearing another month. Mommy is just feeling devasted. Quite a blue day here....

Around Town

It's been a bit of a sad time since Bada and Grandad left and Mama has been very worried and very stressed lately. It's ok....Akira and I have not suffered too much. We are just hanging around town...playing at home, or playdates or lunch afternoons at Blue Heron. But, wherever we are....we are usually having fun!

I am developing a lot though. I can get up and down by myself now. I'm an incredibly bendable girl, so I just do the splits and can go from sitting to lying down in 2 seconds flat!

Bye Bye Bada and Grandad

Tonight we all went out as a family to Nicks Pub here in Arusha. That's because Grandad and Bada have to leave to go back to the United States so we are trying to eat at all the restaurants that they should experience while they are here.

Bye Bye Grandad and Bada.....we'll really miss having you here and we really really can't wait to come to your house. We hope we'll see you soon!
