Getting back into it

Like most reluctant blog owners out there, I have been letting Facebook function as a way to keep people updated on my growing girls.  But, as some people leave Facebook for either security concerns or the time-suck that Facebook can be, I have been asked to get back into the blog world.

So, here's the status of my little -- or should I say not-so-little -- ones.

Little Leena is 3 years old now and hilarious.  She is supremely confident.  She walks into a room and says, "Hey everybody, I'm HERE!  It's LEENA!"  and thinks everyone should applaud.  Her favorite things are: Diego, chocolate, comfortable leggings, and playing with boys.

Annice is 6 now and started primary school.  She gets up every morning and puts on her uniform and trots off to her class at Braeburn Primary.  She loves school and I love that her name seems extremely boring compared to many of her classmates (Shlok, Ngonie, Yuli, Tirok, King, Milka, Shami to name a few).  Annice is our resident artist and our walls are covered with her creative creations.  Who needs to buy art when you can just have a rotating installation that is continually improving?

Ben and I are just doing our thing and not particularly interesting, but there are potentially interesting elements for the blog in the future - an upcoming Christmas vacation in Egypt and then a hopeful plunge into the Kenyan adoption process.
