We leave for home tomorrow morning. Anxious to see how the builder is coming on our house(s). The one by the big palm tree is Gladys and mine. Derrick and Rosy's is the one further back in the picture. They were working on heating, plumbing, and electrical this week so not much change on the outside. We had a problem with the design of Derrick's porch. That held up the roofing. They have to get it inspected before they can put shingles on. Hopefully they can get it done; it's been raining so I hope it gets done soon.

Here's Grandma doing what she does best, working on crafts with the kids. Today it's coffee filter flowers. They color the coffee filters with markers, fold the filter into a small cone, then dip the tip in water. Comes out looking tie-dyed. The crafts never last long, but its the process that counts.

Think we're having fun? Can't believe how little babies are at 3 weeks. On the other hand, just as I was thinking about how little she is, I thought about the miracle of birth and how a mom can push a little one this size out of her body! And to think some moms have babies twice this size. And then I look at Macayla, 20 months, walking, starting to say a few words. They grow so fast. Probably doesn't seem like it to dad and mom in the middle of the night. We've been up here three times in 9 months, but it's been worth it.

Here's the other three. Getting a "horsey ride" is always a special part of having Grandpa come. Wait 'til Daniella grows up, I'll have a real back-full.

Here's the newest addition to the family: Daniella Jaqlyn White, three weeks old. She was born 3/9/06, 8:43 AM. She joins Hannah, Elijah, and Michaela. No more seats left in the van.

Spent Monday-Thursday of last week in Birmingham, AL at Weed and Seed Training. It was a good opportunity. Lots of good BBQ, too, at Jim and Nicks. Took the DART across town every night to eat. A quarter to ride. Price was right and hospitality of our driver was great. Enjoyed the time. Tired when I got back, especially having spent last week in Michigan then back to Pomona for three nights of training with World Vision.
