Good afternoon.
It is about 80 degrees out and a storm is brewing.  The black clouds are rolling in the we can hear the thunder rumbling around us.  We are out on the porch with Little Luther (3 years) and Rolf.  Both of them are down for much needed naps.  Rolf is upset because Luther has one of his blankets.  Rolf keeps sneaking over to remove it and carry to where he is.  Koyo and Candy Girl just came home from school and Patience will not be far behind. 

Yesterday we called the shipping company about the 4 boxes that were to come in.  When we arrived, not only were there 4 boxes but all the other boxes that we have sent.  It took three trips in the car to get them all home.  Now it is a matter of sorting though them gleaning what we are able to use now and what we must save for later.

Rolf is really getting into this diet change.  Last night we had bitter ball soup with chicken legs and feet (ugh) and some fish.  He wolfed that down and this morning he was eating orange seeds.  Timothy is giving him a orange now to eat.  He has decided that is yummy as well.

Last night the children were sitting on the porch and when I went out they were climbing all over my lap.  I got my Kindle and read them a fairy tale.  By the time I was finished children and youth from the neighborhood were there listening.  They were so engrossed that I will now be reading a story each night to them.  Somewhere in my books is a children's bible story book.  That will be my next source of reading material for them.  Learning all their names is a tough one, but as they are around, it will be easier to remember them.

As for comments you might want to leave or questions you may want to ask.  At the end of each blog is a place that reads "Comments" and the number posted.  If you click on that, it will direct you to a page that reads at the bottom "Post Comment".  There you may do so and I will be able to read them.

The rain has begun, the babies are asleep, and all is well in Liberia.

Peace and joy,

Anne and Timothy
