Colors

Sophia has recently learned eight colors from a puzzle Grandma and Grandpa gave her. But she hasn't quite figured out that those words can also be used to describe objects in addition to these particular puzzle pieces. We'll keep working on it.

Carols in the Courtyard

Here are students from the CU at Guy's singing "Carols in the Courtyard" on their campus. The service was held outside to attract passers-by to join in the singing and to hear about the true meaning of Christmas through the words of traditional Christmas carols.

Thanksgiving

Here's a short video clip of the fellow Americans with whom we celebrated Thanksgiving. We managed to find a turkey at our local grocery store, and all of the food we made (Wes cooked most of it, but I pitched in, too) turned out well, but making it was a lot of work. Our hats are off to all you moms, grandmas, and aunts who've been doing this effortlessly for years!

Hi Grandma

Sophia started saying Grandpa ("Beepa") a couple of months ago but wouldn't say Grandma for some reason. Maybe she couldn't hear enough of a difference between the words to tell there are two of them. But now she's finally saying Grandma ("Ma-ma") with some regularity, and I actually caught it on video!
