Sunflower seeds


Do you see Charlotte over to the right?

Perspective

"How do you shuck, O women of the world?"  (Seriously, there must be a better way.)



This is my offering to Mrs. Finchie, who was stalking me while I worked, but who did not attack me.  Thank you. 

Accessorizing

Tucking in

Girum likes to tuck in his brother and sister at night.  He has the routine down: He helps them get situated.  He covers them with their blanket.  He sternly tells them not to talk or move around.  And then...

"Be still, Mita.  (a smile)  Be still... and know that I am God.  We're going to wake up at 6'30, OK?  And Mita, don't take off your 'caff' (cap).  Do you love Jesus?"  "Yes," replied Mita.  "Good.  He loves you better.  Dear God, thank you for this day.  Please help Mita sleep.  Please help Tamenech, Bereket, Tariku and Belaynesh.  (Sorry Tadele, Konjit, Diborah and Mulugeta.)  Grace and mercy.  In Jesus' name, Amen."

Well done, Girumy.

By the way...

Girumy can ride his bike!  After taking a break because we didn't know what to do to help him, all it took was a week without the pedals on his bike to learn balance and KAZOW!  As he was flying around the park, he said, "I can do this all day!"
