Is It Just Me?

Just wondering...do things like this happen to other people? Dave says that he only has two truly embarassing stories in his life. I seem to have several a month. So, here is my embarassing story of the week. First of all though, look at this gorgeous little face...could he ever do anything naughty? Mmmmm, read on!

I had taken Ayana and Moses into Starbucks to get a treat and a drink because they had been very well behaved in a couple of stores.

They had sticky sugar all over them so we went into the bathroom to wash our hands. Of course, when in the bathroom, I took the opportunity of asking Ayana if she needed to go...yep...so she goes. Then I quickly jump onto the toilet myself before we head out and Moses decides to UNLOCK the door and RUN OUT!

NOOOOOO, COME BACK!

I jumped off the toilet, grabbing my pants with one hand and tried to chase Moses while Ayana, my three year old, is laughing at me. Quickly grabbed Moses, pull him back in and lock the door.

"Never open the door when we are in the bathroom Moses, never" I said.

Ayana tried to look very serious,

"Oh my goodness" she chimed in (mmm I guess I say that a lot)

I just had to laugh.

So, back to my original question...

"Is it just me?"

Family Days On The Beach.

Recently we went on a trip to the beach after church. These pictures were the same time as our family picture of a few posts ago. As I explained then, Joshua, Ayana and Moses had been carrying the Ethiopian flag in a flag parade. (Explains why they are in Ethiopian dress)

Here they are, I was so proud of them!

(Isn't this cool? Ayana looks so serious and as if she is hugging her flag, I love it)

It was February time actually, a lovely day after being cooped up inside through the winter months. We just loved walking through the dunes, looking for crabs and we even saw several eagles. What a relaxing and dreamy family day.
