3 months plus 3 days and lots of smiles

No, that's not how long till we come back to the United States. Makena Elizabeth and Naomi Rebecca are 3 months plus 3 days old today. They now weigh 11 pounds 14 ounces and 11 pounds 5 ounces, respectively. Makena continues to be a bit bigger.

As of Wednesday, our girls are proud recipients of US passports! That means that we get to bring them home. (As if we would leave them behind).

Isaiah sports his graduation outfit. Graduation was last Friday and it was a good time. The previous President of Kenya, Moi, was the guest speaker and arrived by helicopter.














Isaiah specifically asked if I would show you this butterfly from our backyard.












The girls LOVE to smile these days. This is Naomi. Five seconds before I took this picture, she was crying. Thankfully, they are never sad for long.













Todd with his girls. Makena on left and Naomi on the right. We are currently of the opinion that the girls are probably identical. We won't know for sure unless they start to look really different or if we have a DNA test done.













Jenny holds the girls out on the back patio. They decided that they had had enough of watching their brothers in the pool. Naomi is in my arms and Makena is lounging.















Nathanael takes a quick break from swimming. That's a water tank in the background that collects all the rainwater from the roof.















Isaiah loves "swimming!" The chair is NOT a diving board, it only holds up the side of the pool.













Nate and Isaiah hanging out in the pool.

















Naomi lounging in backyard during boys swim-time.


















Makena lounging also.



















Todd, Isaiah, and Nate showing off crowns.




















Naomi grins for a 3 month old picture.




















The girls pose together. Makena on left, Naomi on right.

  3. Hi from Ms.Lori-- these pics are great! I think in one pic Makena is starting to look like Todd :)
    It is great to see the girls with such darling smiles and I miss "my boys"...I bet they are really liking the pool! I sure hope that you will be in MN when I am here this summer. Planning a trip to Philly and 1-2 to CO to get Jon settled. Jess is in Peru on a mission trip till May 28th and Jon graduates from Calvin on 5/22. Please keep them in prayer. Happy Mothers day Jenny! Much love and hugs to you all...Lori. (PS- got new glasses today and a short hair bob...no other news today. XX OOO
