This is my favorite post-bath game.  Hide and seek.

Clad in only a towel, Luke sprints down the hall, drops to the floor, tucks the towel around him and hollers "try to find me Mom"

It's incredibly adorable.  You should hear him giggle.

He's had some less adorable moments this week too, learning to not argue with Mommy and testing his boundaries like your average 3 year old.  Then occasionally he sits on the couch and big brother reads books.  And Mom gets to take a deep breath, for a short moment or two :)

John Paul's speech therapy has dropped to once a week (we were going twice a week in November and December).   The therapist lives very close to us (amazing in this mega-city) and it's an easy drive but I'm still thankful to have more slow afternoons at home.

So this is our Monday at 1:30 pose - big three in uniforms and backpacks off to school, little two bound for speech with Momma.

Thankful for big kids who buddy up with little ones and lots of helpers of all ages.  We are definitely getting older!!

The big news from this week is that our ayi has a slight fracture in her ankle.  And needs to rest with her foot up.  For a month.

I spent most of Monday trying not to panic.  She's a pretty indispensable part of our little ship here, and the idea of not having here is.... well, no fun.  By Wednesday God provided temporary relief!  Ayi's younger sister is helping out and we are so thankful!  It's not the same as ayi, and we miss her lots, but we are so thankful for help!  Luke has had a blast showing her the ropes and hopefully ayi will be ready to come back when we return from Thailand.
