Mommy tells me that people are supposed to sleep in on Saturday, I don’t believe her! Usually I’m up early on Saturdays, making sure that if it is a day when Daddy and Mommy were intending to sleep until 7, I keep them from giving in to laziness. Good Morning! (I should add that I usually wake up crying and then smile when I’m rescued from my bed.)

Saturday afternoons Daddy has to do Jarai research, so Mommy and I always find interesting things to keep us entertained. We made a really neat tunnel from the bedroom to our living room. We went swimming in the apartment pool. It was a little chilly, but I enjoyed climbing in and out of the pool. We also read, and as you can see in the picture I sometimes read to Flopsie (which Daddy and Mommy say is really cute).

As you can see on the left, I tend to make a mess on the floor. Mommy let me play with the bread bag. It only had an end in it, but I successfully got it open. So, Mommy let me help her wash the floor last Saturday. It was a blast. I was really surprised when I hugged my rag and got soaking wet. But what was really fun was dumping the bucket of water all over me. Mommy and I laughed a lot and I thought it was fantastic! So, now you have a little idea of what goes on in our home on Saturdays.

A big congratulations to my Uncle Joey. He’s graduating from BJU this May with a degree in accounting and just got a job with “one of the Big Four” – I’m not sure what that means. He’s going to be consulting in Washington, D.C., and I think he’s going to be helping our government. I hope they don’t ask him about the best way to get hazelnuts from a bowl, because he wasn’t very helpful to me in that area. In fact, I think he’s the one who made it hard for me!

Last Thursday afternoon, we got together with Yani and Amaris. We had a fun time together. Mommy and Daddy say I need to learn to share. They tell me that I’m a sinner and need Jesus to rescue me. For now I’m content to go my own way. Please pray that I will learn to love and obey Jesus.
