Jet Lag
Sigh of relief, we are in Africa again. I can now actually breath a sigh of relief after not being for 4 hours in the middle of the night with little girls with jetlag. Our first two nights here were not so pleasant for any of us, but after a long and tiring day at the beach in the fabulous hot sun, we all slept all night! Hurray hurray!!

Remember my confession that I am a blog junkie? Well, I have found a new fave blog and online magazine!
Rhythm of the Home
They just published a new fall edition, which I already love. So many super ideas!

Jub Jubs
The journey for Jubilee has been what I imagine taking a child on an all day hike up a very high mountain- both tiring and exciting, full of wonderful discoveries and challenges.
Poor Jubilee has had a 10 day cold once a month since we arrived in North America. The changes and transitions take there toll on her little body. It is also hard on her emotionally. She doesn't quite understand why we are never "home", and feels awfully unsettled. So, we have more tears than usual. These challenges have taught me a few things- Change is hard no matter how well you prepare and no matter how wonderful the place you are going to is. I can only do my best to help her transition easily, and comfort when it is not so easy.
On the other side are all the positives! These are to numerous to fit in one post, so for now, here are just a few big ones. Jubilee celebrated her third birthday!
Her world of imagination expands more everyday:

Hope's North American journey thus far
When we arrived in the States back in May, Hope was only two months old- oh how much has changed for her since then!!
At the time she was pretty colicky, and very sensitive to noises and other stimulation. I cut dairy out of my diet and within 2 weeks she was SO much happier! With the aid of our handy dandy sleep sheep or a fan, we whited out noise for her. She seems to be getting past the easily over stimulated stage- which is great!
In the abilities department, she went from laying there to rolling, to now- getting up on hands and knees and rocking. If we put her into a sitting position, she is quite stable. She even sat up from on her hands and knees yesterday! I am so proud.
Her very favorite activity though, is chewing. She has been gnawing on things for a while now, but still has no teeth to show for it. (Which is okay with me!)
Her personality shines out more and more all the time. She is very giggly, especially if Jubilee is near.
She is easy going and content, but busy busy busy! When she starts to crawl she will be into everything I'm sure! She is also enjoying North American luxuries like carpet to roll and almost crawl on....
exersaucers...
and the jolly jumper!

Time flies
Here are a few snapshots to get you up to speed-
For 7 weeks starting May 10th, Stephen was in the island, and I was back in the States, unfortunately, during that time Stephen had our camera, but here are a few from other people’s cameras:
We had lots of fun at my mom and dad’s.
We also made it up to Missouri for my cousin’s wedding-which was gorgeous!
That is all the catch up time I have for today, hopefully I can post again in a few days!
