Meet Michael and Maira. Michael is 7 and Maira is 4. They are going to be staying with us for the next 10 days. Their parents are Steve and Kristin, who I've mentioned before. They will be going with Asas (leading actually) on the Projeto Ide (translation, Project Go Ye)...the July mission trip they always take to northeast Brasil. Priscilla is going too. They actually leave at midnight tonight, so keep them all in your prayers, and the people they will serve. I believe around 200 people are on this trip.
Joel and Asa. Poor little Asa...she took a tumble yesterday and really skinned up her face...and busted her lip. But, she's ok, and happy as ever as you can tell.
We bought some furniture today, as you will see in the following pictures. We also bought this great fruit/veg. basket. I love it.
The living room furniture that we got. I love it too. We were going to get 2 leather couches and 2 chairs...more on that in another blog post soon. But, bamboo it is. There are no cushions on it yet...they are being made and delivered to us next week. It's really cool furniture though.
The couch for the TV room. Hello...love it. It is comfortable, relaxing, and BIG. Love it! In case you can't tell, it is a light green color (more sage I guess, but looks almost grey sometimes).
We also got some hampers at the same place we got the bamboo furniture and fruit basket.
While I am at showing you the house, here are some pictures from last week. This bathroom is the kids' bathroom. It is black and white...we spruced it up a bit. Besides, I'm really into bright colors right now...lots of oranges and reds.
The night we moved in...the kids' room.
The kids seeing their new bedding on their beds for the first time...and their big orange rug (which Asa loves).
Grady with his football pillow (just the one that came with it...we would've opted for a basketball or soccer ball personally, but we don't let on...he loves it).
Hadley with the "thing" we bought to put on her bed, since Grady had a football. She affectionately named her "Chicken." Interesting, but we just go with the flow. Chicken it is.
Asa passed out before I actually got to nursing her and putting her down that night. She was one pooped little girl. We had spent all weekend in Goiania, come back to Anapolis around 4 that afternoon, and moved all our necessities to the new house so we could move in. It was a crazy and long day. Poor little girl. She adapted well though...she just went to sleep on our mattress that was on the floor. Actually, she was already asleep when Joel brought her to me in the shower...she slept through her shower, woke up a bit after her shower while I was dressing her, and then passed out again. Sweet little tired thing.
Speaking of Asa sleeping...this is her crib. She still isn't using it, because after setting it up and all...well, we actually toyed with the idea of having someone ship our crib here from the states. Yeah...this isn't our favorite. But, we'll see.
They are tiny cribs here...but, here is the bedding that we have for it, should we choose to use the crib. :) Also, not too happy about this bedding actually...still looking for a replacement, but this is a possibility...it's what we have right now (that is not in use). :)
The kids' room in the morning sun.
Our bedroom. You probably can't tell, but those are dark brown rugs on the sides of the bed. Actually, this bed is no longer in there, and we now have a Queen mattress. But, we still squeeze these sheets on there because I love them. They are super comfortable and soft (they are like the T-shirt sheets) and I just love this print...
...reminds me of my childhood somehow I guess (the 70s)...mustard color, paisley print. Nice.
And isn't this the coolest picture you ever saw? When we lived in our other house, a couple of little boys came by in a horse-drawn cart asking for money. We gave them food and they had this kite to sell. Joel bought it. It didn't have any string, just the kite (that the boys had probably just found). So, this was our first time flying it since we had to get some string. Anyhow, love this picture!
