and Laney being her goofy self! See the cup she's holding? It's her security blanket. She walks around all day saying "Mommy, I'm thirsty!" and trying to get Emilie to fill up all the kid cups in the cupboard for her.
It's been a busy day around here! It's now 10pm. Kevin got up at 5am to leave for a flight as co-pilot for a French company who have an outfit here. (The SIMAIR guys do occasional flights for them to make a little extra money for SIMAIR, in an effort to make it as inexpensive as possible for other missionaries to fly!) After making his lunch and sending him out the door, I was able to at least sleep another hour before my day started. Kevin returned from the flight at noon, only to get caught up in an inspection on the plane. After running into multiple problems Kevin, Dave, and David are still working as far as I know! This is before they will be up early tomorrow AM for another flight! Ed hasn't been slacking in the meantime- he was co-pilot for another flight this afternoon, and isn't home yet either! So we have some tired guys! Please pray for their safety, as there are flights each day for the next three days, and they are all worn out.
As for me, while it's busy at home, my only downside-other than missing Kevin- is that I missed my weekly scrapbooking night with some other ladies since he wasn't here to keep the kids. Thankfully I'm mostly ready for leading Bible study tomorrow, so that shouldn't be a big deal- as long as Kevin is home to keep the kids for that!
We still await the arrival of the "baby"- er, plane that is! It sounds like it's all set with the new engine and ready to go. Now we just wait for the ferry pilot to return from another trip. So another few weeks and we hope to have it here. Of course, we've said that before...
The girls enjoyed having Andrea and Joel over last week to play. They had a fishing theme day- playing in the water outside, and fishing with Brynn's magnetic fishing set. Then they came in, and we read some fishing stories from the Bible, and sang "Peter and James and John in a sailboat." Their favorite part was the snack though! We recently found some goldfish-looking (though NOT tasting!) crackers and we used pretzel sticks (which we can buy here!) to dip in peanut butter and "catch" goldfish. Snacktime took a while, but they enjoyed it!
Today Kira tried something new- baking a pumpkin pie! OK, she had a little help! =) We are going to wait until Daddy is home tomorrow to try it, since he didn't make it home in time to see the kids today.
Well, as I was writing Kevin arrived home, so I'm off to see him while I can!
