This is a really long post...lots of pictures and adventures, so here we go.
First of all, this is the first "picture" she's ever drawn besides people. It is a picture of her and Malaika watching a rainbow. She is adding Grandmama and Papa.
It seemed like we were waiting forever for Grandmama and Papa to come. I was really hot when I woke up...guess why.
YAY! Grandmama and Papa finally arrived!
Then we had a picnic at Porter Park on a very windy and cold day...without napkins, plates or cups.
Then Zuki wanted to ride on the Carousel.
Papa joined...
And then convinced me to hop on one myself. FUN!
Papa and Grandmama playing on the swings...
Papa discovered Malaika's favorite way to be held! Arm killer.
Grandmama and I bought Zuki a surprise!
A Tinkerbell chair that she can sit on and read her books. (Instead of using the basket or the carseat).
She LOVES it!
Zuki took this picture of Grandmama and Papa.
We ate at Big Jud's, the home of the one pound hamburger.
See those photos on the wall? Those are the pictures of people who have conquered the one pounder, two pounder, or three pounder hamburger. Amazing.
After Big Juds, we needed some exercise, so we went back to the park for the water.
Grandmama is an awesome baby holder.
Then we were tired.
Malaika's Blessing
Again, here is that adorable headband...love it! Thank you Anna...it really completed the outfit.
Aunt Sally made these sockies...I thought it would be fun to have a "pop" of color.
My Happy One!
Papa holding Chi-Chi.
Julie Daka, Zuki, and Chimwewe Daka.

Grandmama and Papa!
Dwynnie in the Middle!
Then we got tired...and Grumpy.
Anna made these other headbands so that I would have a variety to choose from...Love them all! I promised her I would put pics up of these...so sorry she is so grumpy.
Love this one too!
Then we had a photoshoot with Mo outside. Here are my favs.
These are out of order, but this purple outfit is from Aunt Sally for which the purple sockies were originally intended. CUTE!
We had an awesome week, and the blessing day was perfect! Thanks to everyone who participated, and for those who thought of us from far away. We love our friends and family, thank you, thank you, for being such an important part of our lives. You are what it's all about.
