Away in Peru

6 August 2005

While I was away in Peru for 3 weeks on a humanitarian mission, and Melinda stayed home with the kids, Melinda got in the habit of always having the same thing for lunch. One day, when it was about time to eat Abby says “I want Pizza.”. Melinda agreed and the called 5 buck pizza to deliver. Abby continued to say “I want Pizza” as she anxiously waited for the delivery man. When the doorbell finally rang and Melinda said, “It’s here!” Abby ran to the door, opened it up and said, “Pizza, Pizza!”.

Alex’s surgery – ooh, haa

Abby and her dolls

Alex likes to follow Abby around, holding onto her shirt

Abby likes to help Alex get dressed, wash his hair etc.

Abby likes to help Melinda do everything, “I wanna help”; Speaking in complete sentences

Running to the garage saying “Daddy’s home” whenever the air conditioner came on, Alex shrugging his shoulders and looking in the bedroom and bathroom trying to find me, and knocking on my office door.
