Big Eyes

This is one of Megann's most famous expressions - we call it "big eyes". She's been doing this since she was teeny-tiny, mostly whenever Addie is around.

This is why I'm so glad Megann is a girl...

... because when you're a boy, and your sisters dress you up in sunglasses and a Hannah Montana wig, it can really mess you up. But when you're a girl, it's just a lot of fun!

Oopsies

Hmm... my last post was over a month ago. That means the grandparents haven't seen any recent pictures of Megann... not good. So, here are a few pics and a video - Enjoy!

Preschool Assembly

One of the highlights of this past week was Preschool Assembly on Wednesday morning. Addie had been looking forward to it for quite awhile, and had been giving us pre-show demonstrations of their program. Here are a few little videos of her and her friends.

**the first quesion in this video was, "What is the national flower of India?" At home, Addie told us that the answer was "lettuce"!

**evidently these preschoolers have seen some pretty fast peacocks!

Unfortunately, the video of Addie talking about America was too big to upload on the blog. Too bad, because it is really cute. It included fun facts such as the name of the US flag being the "Stars and Stripes", and that the man in the White House is the "Pres-ni-tet". It also had a great rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" - what could be more American than that!

Sisters

Umm... Dad?

On Saturday we took a walk across town to the Hebron girls' campus for a garage sale (because who appreciates a good garage sale more than Americans?). Since it was flower show weekend, the main entrance to school was closed so we had to go the back way. As we were headed down the hill, these buffalos were headed home to the Toda village up the hill. Lauren and Brenna were a bit nervous, but Addie didn't seem to care and Megann didn't even notice.

Okay, okay

So, I've gotten a few messages this week from friends and family wanting to know if there are any new pics of the girls or any updates on life in India. And, since Megann has officially grown out of the tiniest pajamas that she was wearing in the previous blog posts, I guess it is time to get back to it.

As for news, there isn't much. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us to raise money for a larger vehicle. We have enough, and now all we need is a vehicle! Right now is tourist season, and there are so many pedestrians and busses in town that we just keep our little car parked here at the school. Ryan will probably need to go into the larger city to go "car shopping", but that just isn't a possibility right now. Our next big trip will be to the US Consulate in Chennai to get Megann a passport, and I've already informed him that we will be flying. No long car rides or overnight trains for this momma and baby right now!

Here are the latest pics of Megann (Meggie Moo, as her sisters call her).

Just so you understand... this post took me over an hour to write. Most of it was done one-handed while trying to get Megann to stay asleep. It was interrupted by two "wake-ups" from her nap, a feeding, a diaper change, and then a full outfit change. I'm not looking for sympathy, just understanding... Okay, so maybe a little bit of sympathy - this fourth baby thing is hard work! :)
