Bragging on Olivia

"Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-yaaa" This is the new sound/song that we hear multiple times a day from Olivia!

Does anybody recognize that tune?! Let me sing the real version: "la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Elmo's song"! That's right, Olivia loves MELMO! Olivia goes to the childcare every day, and they watch about 15 minutes of a video every day...and I am assuming they watch Elmo. We bought her Elmo's favorite songs a few months ago and she was not interested in it. Now, she goes up to the tv, gets the dvd box, and hands it to me. The cutest part is when I put it on, she dances and sings her tune! So cute.

I also want to brag about what her teachers tell me. They tell me that she is such a helper! She is one of the only ones that helps clean up. We hope that she will continue to be sweet and a helper when her sister arrives! We are so blessed to have her. Here are some pictures of her from childcare!

Our First Visitor!

Wow! I can't believe we have already finished our first month of training! It is already September and we already had our first visitor. Last weekend Kyle "Hambone" Hansen (my old roommate, aka "domestic partner"... just kidding) came to stay! It was a great time. Oh, sorry parents, you don't count as visitors anymore, since you always come to visit.

Well, we are continually being blown away by the training here, especially all of our instructors, who have been missionaries on every continent. All together they have hundreds of years experience. It is awesome. We wish everyone could get this great of training before they go into ministry, it is so invaluable!
We miss all of you, and we can't wait to see some of you this weekend!
