We have a lot to be Thankful for this year. God is so good to us! We finally have Naomi with us. We are amazed and overjoyed to watch Naomi discover a whole new world. We are seeing the world through her eyes. Everything is new and wonderful.
We started out the day in our own backyard, she was so happy to play on our little plastic swing and slide. Then we went over to our friends Pat and Carlos for our Thanksgiving meal. She had so many new foods and in abundance she was enjoying everything. After the meal we went to park and she was having fun, but the real fun came when the sprinklers came on, we now know she loves to play in the water. I guess we never really thought of all the things that would be new for her. Like swings, slides, sprinklers, ham, marshmallows, turkey, stuffing, gravy, rolls, salad and green bean casserole and then came the cakes and pies. In Africa she ate rice, beans and chicken livers and now all this and it was Thanksgiving so she ate a lot of it. Jenn and I were so happy to watch her and her big brothers have such a great day. Jacob is doing a great job as a big brother. Micah has really stepped up, he is so helpful and is thriving on a new role as a big brother to a brother and a sister. We are very proud of them. They take good care of Naomi and keep watchful eyes on her. I hope that is something that will continue.
Today Jenn's friend Nicole made it safely to Hawaii. We have big plans to show her a good time here. I am sure you will get to hear all about it. Today was the traditional stop at Pali Lookout. It seems that is one of the first things we do with all our guest. Then we had Big Kahunas for lunch and Zippy's for dinner. Both are very yummy.
