Because I can! :-)

I'm going to tell you about some of my kids today. Because I can! No really, I get to do this and by now I've already sucked you in so you're going to read the rest of this because you just HAVE to know what I'm going to say. I know. You're welcome.

Ana

I'll start with this little princess since I'm sure you have seen her pictures and all my facebook posts. What can I say? She is my baby girl! She is a princess, a diva, and she is so smart. She shares my number one love language, which means we get lots of cuddle time and she loves to give kisses! She is stubborn and independent but loves attention. She is a nurturer so you can find her feeding her baby, telling me when and what to eat and drink, and saving her friends lives. (Yes, there is a story behind that one. I'll find the video and write a blog about it soon!) Basically she's pretty awesome. 

Did I mention she's a princess?! And oh so cute. :-)

Chede

This picture pretty much sums it up. She is my little ham. She's funny and she knows it! Also bossy just like her Mzungu mama! Usually the first thing out of her mouth when she sees me is, "I want to to go to the swimming pool!" She has a huge heart and she mothers (or bosses!) everyone. She is so smart and she's very proud of her school work. I have loved seeing her grow up! Sometimes I look at pictures from when I first met her and I can't believe how much she has changed and grown! Love this girl. 

Solomon

Can you say precious?! Solomon is friendly. I don't know how else to describe this kid. He is pretty easy going, but he can still hold his own around his sisters. This kid has some lungs on him. He can scream for days, and he will if he isn't getting the attention he wants! I hear he has started standing on his own and should be walking soon! I get the feeling he is going to be a handful when he's fully mobile! Look out world. 

Alepele 

Beautiful girl. She is a joy to be around. She takes a while to warm up to people sometimes, but when she does she loves completely. She is such a faithful caretaker to her siblings. Alepele starts school in February and she is so excited. I am too! I can't wait to see what the future holds for this strong little girl. I also can't wait to be able to have longer conversations with her as her english improves! Once I asked her if she was my first born and she looked at me like I was stupid. Then she laughed and said yes to make me happy. :-) Sweet girl. Bless her. 

Teko Brian

Look out ladies! This guy is so handsome. And he has the brains too! He is number one in his class and he intends to stay there. He wants to be a pilot someday, and fly me around of course. (Ok, maybe he didn't say that exactly, but he meant to, I promise.) He is a little quiet at first but he is so much fun once he warms up to you. He loves playing soccer and hanging out with his friends in Namatala. This is one cool kid! Looking smart Teko!


Well this is enough for today. Stay tuned for more cool people and maybe a video about Ana saving her friend's life. Have a fabulous weekend y'all!
