Lily could not possibly have had a better week with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Adam than last week. She LOVED all of the attention, loved bossing two more people, and loved getting to know them better! Lisa painted bugs and flowers in the girls room, making me finally feel like something had been done to get things ready for Sofie...it looks SO cute and Lily loves it, continually saying, "You did such a good job! It is BEAUTIFUL!"
At the pool on Sunday for Mother's Day she had us all in tears of laughter. Sitting on Uncle Adam's lap, she's looking at him and sitting there thinking to herself, and says loudly, "Huh! You're black!" We were cracking up, and she continues, looking down at herself, and then announcing, "Not me! I'm yellow!"
This was the first time Lily's ever indicated a knowledge of color, and she was quite pleased with her observation, and never said another word about it. God made so many things right in us from the start...I love that He is teaching her each day alongside of us, as we ask Him to.
Now we're back in Ohio, she is eating up the swingset grandpa built for her and talking up a storm...
"This road is so good! NO bumpies!"
"I'm at grandpa's house and grandpa loves me!"
"Let's go to the pet store!" (I don't even know how she knows what this is)
and "Look at THIS!!!"
Thursday Sofie and I are to the doctor and Miss Lily on Friday...I'm 36 weeks today! Will let you know...

The room is SO cute! You are almost there! Thinking and praying for you as you wait for baby Sofia!
more and more i can't believe how BIG she is!! she is SUCH a little girl! so beautiful :) i love lily and sofie's room too, it looks so good! your newest little girl is almost here, yay!
if we were speaking in arabic people would probably call lily 'yellow'. and your haitian neighors would all be variations of red, green and blue. :) occasionally i get tan enough that i become the mix color between yellow and red. i think my host sister, aseel, was about the same age when she first noticed that i was a different color than the rest of the family.
hooray for sofie coming so soon!
