Only the Shadow knows...

And Gabbie ALWAYS knows what I'm up too...

She's my 6yr old sidekick at site. She wakes me up in the morning and I make us both some 'quaker oats'. She takes a lot of sugar in her tea. I take my coffee black.

I can count on her to be the last to leave the house. Sometimes I have to carry her out - yup, my house is really THAT much fun! :)

English lessons with her are..well, they're going ;) as you can tell she tends to just agree with me when she doesn't understand.

Note she is asking for chocolate. (I still have stashed away for special days a lot of M&M's so don't let her sweet face make you think she's not getting snoop.)

And some new photos of the place!

this is the magic talking stick. In order for me to get a slight signal I have to put my phone in the bottle on the stick...then pray that I catch a signal strong enough to send a text. Sometimes this takes a good hour.

A few of the crew in all their glory.

Every single day Bella (in yellow), Gabbie (sitting on the chair), and Sardirea (on the right) are over to learn English and terrorize my house. I love them.


Working on their fitness!

Jennie mesmorized by bubbles (unfortnately you can't see the bubbles...but I promise there were bubbles) As much as she's a handful - I have to admit...she's dang cute!

The tree we hang out under everday...it's nice and shady.

Gabbie and her jump rope, she loves that thing!

The 'new' house.
