New Things

I haven't written much on here about the family I am living with right now. I don't have pictures of everyone but I can share a little about them. I live with a married couple, Joe and Debbie, and there two daughters. Hannah is 2 1/2 and Samantha is about 7 months old. Joe and Debbie are actually my age so it is interesting living with people the same age as me who are obviously in a very different place in their lives.

It has been great living here and I feel very comfortable and welcome. When I am home, Hannah gives me a hug before she goes to bed and I often get to play with her. Tonight we made brownies together. Samantha still just kind of hangs around. It is nice living with little kids but I am sure glad I don't have to take care of them 24/7. It gives me much more appreciation for moms out there (you too mom). I also enjoy it because it gives me a sense of where my own nieces might be at in their development. I hope to know them as well as I know these little girls.

Here are some pictures for you:

Hannah made a picture of her family and the world. I made the picture. I am the black people figure in top left.

Mar - This is a neat post. I hope you get to know your nieces and nephew that well, too. I have to admit that part of me doesn't want you to get the development job for LV because it might mean you can come back to MI. But what am I saying?!? Even if you come back I still live 10 hours away!
Have fun with those two girls. They'll be totally different in 6 months!
love
