Visiting Basches

It was so great to be with Amber and Joel Basch and their two little girls last week! I've known Amber (Sutliff) since she was as little as their oldest, Gabriella. We grew up in the same town, and her folks took Michelle and I to meetings quite a bit when we were little. Joel and Amber live in Glide now.

Gabriella, age 2 ½. Such a cutie. Full of energy and very loving.

Gabriella is learning sign language on the computer, so here we are doing Signing Time.

Gabriella, Amber and Meera, 11 months

Meera isn't walking yet, but she's getting around quite well. : )

Meera and Linda are buddies!

Poor Meera is cutting lots of teeth…chewing on anything in reach, this time her toes. : )

Singing " 'tory of Jesus" SO adorable!!

I couldn't decide between these two pictures of Gabriella at the piano, they're both so cute!

Gabriella is holding one of their seven baby chicks. When we first arrived, she met us at the car with one of these in her hand, and I thought it was a dead mouse or bird or something…but it was alive, and so far they've lived through all her loving. : )


The girls are in bed, now mom and dad enjoy some relaxation…nice to see. : )
