What Ivy's been up to...

Since we moved to New Tribes Bible Institute a few weeks ago, Ivy has been doing lots of fun and new activities! (Besides taking an unexpected week-long "vacation" in Utah and besides meeting her little brother.)

She's been...

playing at the park


with her cousins,



learning to love the slide (not sliding down it, though...climbing up it!),




going to a new church (I don't think her expression has anything to do with the church...we really like it :)),


going on bike rides with our whole clan,



loving to stand up all the time,



going on walks around the school with her papa,


playing in our storage bins,



being entertained by her cousin Kaine (he is SUCH a big help to me! and it is so cute...when she hears Kaine running down the hall to our apartment, she gets so excited and starts crawling toward the door to meet him),


playing with her little brother's bottles,


trying to climb into anything her brother is in,



and watching as her papa hung a HUGE Israeli flag in the hall outside our apartment (any of you who know Aaron well...this shouldn't surprise you :)),




Overall, she has a pretty good life up here at NTBI :) We are all adjusting well and love having more time together as a family than we have ever had in the past!

Cute post. :) Glad everyone is adjusting well. Bike rides sound fun! I can't believe Kaine rides his own bike AND with no training wheels! Impressive!

I'm glad Kaine is helpful to you! I'm sure he will be willing to come over as much as you would want him to! Also, I do like the Israel flag--at least it's a lot better than a raccoon fur!

Rachel, I have to admit, I would definitely pick our Israel flag over your raccoon fur :) It's pretty funny, though :)
