I know it has been a while since I updated this. It seems like a million and one things have happened lately, so let me try to catch you up!
This was Hava today drinking some tea, trying to recuperate from a pretty bad cold. She had a low-grade fever for a couple of days straight, and congestion and runny nose for about a week now. PTL, she is doing pretty good and mostly back to her old, happy self!My parents came back from Brazil a few days before Thanksgiving and we all went down to my brother's house in Brownsville for the Thanksgiving weekend. We had a great time, and little Miss Thang celebrated her first Thanksgiving, as well as completing 10 months of age.

The day after Thanksgiving, we went bowling as a family. Papai is a pretty good bowler, considering this was probably the 3rd time he had ever bowled in his life. Hava also made her attempt at bowling...we should have taken a picture. She sat on the floor with the ball....that's about it, 'cause she didn't want to let the ball go!
Grandpa (and Grandma) have been having a blast with Hava - they already taught her to clap her hands! Now she does it all the time, especially when she hears music she likes.
Hava has also discovered her love for art...well, mostly for paper-tearing and eating crayons.
She is also an interior designer....
One day during nap time, I heard a funny noise on the monitor, so I went in to check on her...she was ever so carefully removing the border from the wall. So, now we have to pull her bed away from all walls when she is in it.

Who knows....maybe she'll go into construction like her daddy. She has a bucket full of building cups and she LOVES to wear the big one on her head around the house. She doesn't even try to take it off.
Here is our little British soldier! OK, maybe not a construction worker or British soldier, but very possibly an ultra-modern fashion designer. She is content with licking the handle as she "diva's" it up with a head toss.
Grandma Carmichiel is also back in town, so we have a very fun houseful of people now. We are so enjoying having everyone around and Hava doesn't have too much to complain about with all the attention. Thanks for remembering us, and for those who don't already get them, send us an email with your address if you would like to receive our monthly newsletters.
And during this festive season: "Be blessed - be very, very blessed!"
