Busy Thing #3

Alright, so this is the last busy thing that occupied our time the past couple of weeks.


Can we all shout out together in our singing voices, "HA-LE-LU-YA!! HA-LE-LU-YA!! HA-LE-LU-YA!! HA-LE-LU-YA!! HA-LE-LU-YA!!"

That's right, we have a new vehicular! We are all SO VERY EXCITED as I'm sure you might imagine. Grady and Hadley L-O-V-E sitting "all the way in the back" and being able to move around and play with their toys while they are on the road. Grady can't get over the fact that we have "music in our car!" (like Marcelo) :) In fact, when we got to church on Sunday night, he almost cried to stay in the car instead of going inside. Seriously, he loves it. (We finally convinced him to go in with us to church)

We finally decided on a Chevrolet Zafira. It seats 7 and is just an all around great car. We are enjoying the fact that it has an A/C and heater (if we should ever need one), music (including a CD player...wow, upscale), tinted windows, power locks and windows...basically just all the things that we take for granted in the states.

Oh, and as soon as it was in our possession, Grady asked, "So now we can go to the kids' house and bring one home?" FYI: Kids' house = orphanage. Guess he thought that's all we were waiting on, a bigger car. :) So cute. I tell you what...he is ready to give a kiddo a home, that's for sure. (we seriously don't ever talk about it; we planted the seed in his heart and God grew it)

Anyway, here are some more pictures for you to enjoy. The 1st one is ours, but the others are of another one that we were test-driving for a while. We brought home a blue one first and then a black one. The kids had a hard time keeping it all straight. :)




Cass hanging out in the big girl carseat.
Look at all that room!!
Some of the neighbor kids were around and hopped in with us...we were just going around the circle on the seminary campus.
Eissa lovin' it.
That's a load, right?

And now, a couple of fun videos.

Sunday before last was Father's Day here. Joel picked a little Italian restaurant here for lunch. We had to entertain our clan until our food got to us.


Yesterday morning the girls were having a grand ole time together. You will be able to hear Eissa saying "Look, Mama" at the beginning. Then, I think it's hilarious how Cass just gives Eissa 'the eye.' Cass wasn't sure about Eissa at the time for some reason...and it shows.
