New Sayings

I know this picture is blurry but it was the cutest one. You can find me talking on the phone often now. I usually say, "Hi Jojo, what are you doing?" and respond, "Playing? Oh, okay, Bye." Mommy and Daddy love watching me play.
Now, I am into riding in people's cars and saying, "I want to go bye-bye in Jeff's car...please, can we go bye-bye Jeff's car?"

Understanding Disciple

Tonight mommy is telling the story.
Levi and I were playing hide and seek after his bath. He was running in and out of the bath room and I was jumping out at him and he would close the door on me. Well, time was up to put his pajamas on and I ask him to come to me so that we could do this and he looked at me and said, "NO!" and put his tough out spit at me! (he knows I dispise this) Ooooooo, I gave him the look of death and commanded him to come to me immediately! (Your bark always has to be greater than you bite in hopes of one day only needing to bark or speak like you mean business in order to get the results you want.) Anyway, so knowing that he was cold busted he came to me and he asked, "Spankin', Mama?" I said, "You know what Levi? I am going to give you a grace card this time.(I knew he regretted what he did and he didn't do it that maliciously) I know what you did was a result of ugliness in your heart and I want to give you grace like Jesus gave me grace." He said, "Okay, Levi spank." He then let himself have in on the leg. Then, I asked him, "Did you spank Levi because you were ugly to Mommy?" and he said, "yeah." (in a sad pitiful voice). I squeezed him and told him how much I love him and my heart just melted.

New Backpack

Check out my new backpack! Am I cool or what? I love to hide things in all of the pockets and pull it around when we go for walks. It has a big Spiderman on the front and a spider on the zipper! It is perfect for me!

Same Stroller


Just don't make fun of my ears, okay?

Train Set

Cheese! My Papa bought me a present! He even had it gift wrapped so I could enjoy the fun of opening it.

It was a train set and I was so overwhelmed wih the joy of knowing that I have my very own! They told me it was a reward for being such a good boy on our big trip and for doing so well with my potty training.
It came with a bridge, two ramps, and an elevated track. It also had cars and people with it! We have made several different combinations of tracks.

This was a small track that Papa put together. We spent about an hour putting it togther like the picture and then Mommy put numbers on each piece just in case we ever want the full version. I like stacking the pieces and ramming the trains together.

Family Photo

Here is a better family picture! We love you all and are so thankful for ALL of your prayers and support of us. We miss you but are sustained by His greatness and mercy.

Ferry Time


What do you think? Is it me?

After our long train ride we got to get on the ferry from Spain to Morocco! It was beautiful. We spent most of the time on the deck enjoying the wind and the sun.


Levi loved the wind on his face.

Tim talked to this Moroccan from Belgium. He said that there are about 250,000 Moroccans that live there. Tim was thankful to have the time to chat with him. He was a very friendly man and was kind enough to offer to take our family picture above.

Night Train

Here I am just thrilled to death to be on a train that we can sleep on. I loved to top bunk! Can you tell?
We had quite the adventure on the way back from Spain. We got on the train at 23:00 in order to have 10 hours to sleep and be rested for the next day of travel but that didn't happen. We were woken up at 02:30 and told that we had to get off of the train and ride a coach bus for an hour and then get on another train in Cordova that would take us the rest of the way to Algiceras (the southern part of Spain). Why, you ask? Because the rain had washed out some of the track! So, it was a long night. Then, we missed the early ferry and arrived just in time to miss the early train leaving from Tanger. So, we sat in the train station for 4 hours and got home at 10:30 that night! I was still a good boy dispite all of that.

Ky and Naomi


Here are my friends that I played with in Spain. I am sad to say that they are moving to London and I will not get to play with them once we move back. So, we made it a point to get lots of playtime in.

I really can breathe in this picture.

I sang "Ring Around the Rosies" on this ride

Faces

My "please can I have it" face
My "I'm not going to look at you" face
"Yea, I'm cool"

Malaga

We got to go to the beach in Malaga while we waited for the next train. We learned that in August you have to buy your train tickets in advance because they stayed booked. We had 5 hours to kill so we ventured to the beach!

This was my reaction to the Mediterranean Sea. I wasn't sure what to think of it. Once I got in I ran out because it was freezing!

So, I just sat on the beach and played in the sand.
