Elisha meets Hosanna

Elisha officially became a big sister on October 11th. We brought Hosanna home on the 12th and Elisha got to meet her on the 13th. She is so sweet with her, hugging and kissing her. She talks to Hosanna in a squeaky little voice. My prayer is that they will be fast friends, loving one another and looking out for one another. The last picture is moments after Elisha saw Hosanna for the first time.

Big Girl Bed

It's been quite a time of transition in our house during the past month. Heather and Eric moved out and Amber moved in. Micah and Elisha moved into a bigger room. And this weekend Micah and Elisha got their bunk bed. Elisha is transitioning to a big girl bed. She likes the idea, but it's been a little tough for her to stay in the bed at night.

Micah's birthday

Micah had a couple birthday celebrations - family (plus Heather and Eric) at the park, friends at Chuck E. Cheese's and classmates at school. Elisha enjoyed being at all three. Oma even made her a cape like Micah's so she can be Robin, while Micah is Batman.

First Days of School

Elisha is attending preschool two days a week. She did really well the first week, so brave. It might have been easier for her, since she dropped off and picked up Micah with me last year. She loves her teachers, Ms. Rhonda and Ms. Sara. She picked out her lunch bag and the buttons for her school bag with me. I gave her some options for the buttons and after she picked the ladybugs she added sweetly, and pointed, "and flowers, please?"

Baseball Game

Britt's company picnic was at a Gwinnett Braves game. I think Elisha liked best the mascots, who ran around on the field and crawling around in the stands.

Bowling

All the room mates went on a bowling adventure. Elisha took it very seriously, picking up and carrying her ball to the ramp she used. The bumbers helped her to knock down pins. She got a kick out of her shoes, too. Oh, and the popcorn and Sprite were yummy, too.

Summer Fun

Elisha really enjoys the playground. If she falls, she brushes herself off and tries again. She climbs and slides, always amazing me with how daring she is. Her hair gets curlier, as she gets hot and sweaty - so cute.



She found this newsletter from Pastor Daniel, who runs the Mercy Home ministry in India. She pointed him out and called him by name. Then continued to look carefully at the rest of the newsletter.
