Everyday Mercy: August 2007 - Summer updates, photos and videos

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few thousand words' worth :)! Sorry I didn't manage to update the blog sooner, it's been three tornado months, we are deeply grateful to family and friends who helped us out especially kae's parents who stayed the whole three months brave grandparents they are! We are getting over the sleepless nights now as Elise settles into a more manageable rhythm, although the day still flies by :)! Etienne starts school in September, it will be his first year in kindergarten, and he already asks tough questions:

"Where is God?" (after mama's reading of Genesis in his Lion's first bible);

"Where is Elise before?" (when shown photos of him as a baby);

"What is electricity?" (when told to turn off the bedside lamp to save electricity...I told him that's a good question to ask his teacher when he goes to school! Alternatively, go ask papa the engineer heh heh).

Elise is growing fast and is very smiley and chatty (see videos), though I'm sure she cries and fusses as much as other babies especially from 6 weeks on to 3 months and a half with "evening colic" (which means no one knows why they cry but 'colic' sounds interesting.) At 3 months old she weighs 5.5 kg and measures 56 cm (for you baby growth statistics aficionados out there!)
