I wanted to just keep my post light and full of happy stuff and not have to write anything upsetting. But today was a very sad day. The twin(Simon) that was doing well at the start, took a turn for the worst this past week or so and hadn’t been doing very well ever since. Melinda put him on an IV and did all that she could for him. And today on his 4 week birthday around noonish, he passed away. We had a small funeral for him in HCH’S private cemetery, and can home with sad hearts. He is now in heaven with his mommy, but has left behind his brother and a house full of people who will miss him. Please continue to pray for the other little baby Samuel who looks to be doing great and is growing strong. Physically and vocally!

Now for the lighter part. I’m getting my hair braided sometime this week! I’m excited because i definitely wont miss the permanent ponytail i wear everyday. Plus all the fly-away hairs and bobby pins aren’t fun either!

Man has it been raining today. But its the nice kind of rain where the sun still shines and there is enough wind to cool you off. Lori, Shannon and I have been trying to get the kids out for a treat for the past 5 days but have had to cut our trip short because of the rain every afternoon. Today was a success! We made it up the road to the “little boutique” or little bucket as it translates to what the kids call it, before the rain! It just started to rain as we were coming into the yard.
Minnie-June left on Wednesday to the states for her brothers wedding and wont be back until Tuesday. I cant wait. It means the kids will be back into their routine and things will settle down. Please pray for teething babies, Bedza and Samuel’s paperwork to get to Canada soon and a little less rain so i can get some laundry done!

Thanks for reading and being patient with the internet down! Until next time! Muah!
