She Drives!, She Walks!

SHE DRIVES!!
Yes, our dear Dot drives. She's enjoyed taking her parents on rides and even her Grandpa has been brave enough to let her drive when he takes her to lessons. Mostly country roads yet. :-)

Friends!!
We were so blessed to have a missionary family/friends-we-haven't-seen-for-4-years stay with us for a week. Well, actually they stayed 'up the hill' with Gma & Gpa but they all ate with us. (Not every meal as others wanted their time & attention as well) They have 5 children. The oldest a girl (8), the next four are boys. We loved getting to see them and getting to know the kids. Our kids were soooo sad when they left to stay with someone else the next week. We all got to have a last get-together dinner with them here, which was fantastic. They brought Chinese food which was a fun experience. Our kids are all looking foward to visiting them in Tiawan, Lord willing!

SHE WALKS!!
Yes, our dear Darling walks. She watched the youngest friend walk all week. He is 11 months. Her first friend. They were sooo sweet together, playing side by side. When he left she was determined to be a bi-pod like him. Within one week she took her first steps! She is still working on being stable enough for a longer walk than 2 feet.
