I had to bend in half to get into the little cubicle where the computer is
June 24, 2008
I wrote you all a lovely post the other day and was going to post post it. Get it? But the usb drive on this computer in this incredibly strange internet cafe doesn't seem to be working, so I can't use my jump drive, and so yeah. Huh.
We have moved in to our little home in the jungle. I love it. I've started building a little nest, which isn't the easiest because we are housesitting, so there's a whole lot of other people's stuff here. But I think we'll manage fine.
At night sometimes I look up into the dark and see fireflies talking to each other.
Have you ever played war, the card game, with a five year old, a four year old, and a two year old? Where when finally the two year old stops crying every time we take his cards away from him, he ends the game by taking off running down the house with the cards he doesn't want to relenquish in his hands, little bottom in little undies and all?
We are working on our internet solution, at which time so much posting will go on, your heads will be spinning... you will love the photos of the kids in their new Indian clothes. Ahhhhh...

I can just see Leaf running that way, and now you've taught him that it's okay to snatch other people's cards, and he'll do it the next game you play - it could be crazy 8's or something like that. Sounds like you have very inventive ways of entertaining your kids. When does your stuff arrive?
Can't wait for the new posts! And yay for playing War with your kids... My brother and I spent many afternoons wiling away the hours making each other cry with it :)
Rae-Rae,
I find myself being a bit addicted to your blogs. I try to check daily and re-read previous posts when there isn't a new one posted. How's it feel creating this kind of demand? I just showed my Dad your poop-hand blog on fly fishes. He got a total kick out of it. He humors my affection for all things poop. (Maybe "affection" strikes the wrong tone.) I too am looking forward to pictures of the kiddos and future bloggage. I'm glad to hear that you are settling in! Hurray! And thanks be to God!
P.S. I'm contemplating a bit of blogging myself. I may just be dreaming though. Will I have/make time for that sort of thing when I'm back in school?
I love you and am praying for you daily.
Waiting patiently for those pictures, and looking forward.
HaHaHa!!
I too have a 5 yr old, a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old.And I love the description of the 2 yr old running off with the cards. That's what mine would do.
Lately we've been playing duck duck goose and when anyone and I mean anyone is picked for the GOOSE, My 2 yrs old just goes crazy with joy!Right as the hand slaps down on the lucky person's head he jumps up and starts yelling agggghhhh!! And we all dissolve into giggles- at least the adults do. The other two girls just say, Jakey!!! No!!!!
