Playing, playing, playing with silly friends

The Girls hanging out with Levi the Bear

Gabi has been so lucky this week. With Mary-Kelsey (aka Our MK) and Amanda Z here, Gabi has gotten an obscene amount of attention and cuddles. It's a bit ridiculous. We tried to take a lot of pictures today because we've been so busy that we keep forgetting.

Also, yesterday we had the first meeting of our Guate playgroup. We were not aware of one in our area with other Guatemalan adoptive families, so we started one. We hosted the first one. We had burgers from the grill and were able to swim after the rain subsided. It was great to meet some people from the area and watch these adorable kids interact. It looks like the group might be a success. Unfortunately, I was so busy hosting, I didn't get any pictures. Next time...

Here are some photos from today. Please note Gabi's beloved Levi. This is the bear that Gabi's cousin, Emmie, very carefully and lovingly picked out for Gabi long before we even met her. Gabi loves this bear so much that there is rarely a moment when she doesn't have Levi. She kisses him, hugs him, says "bear" and loves on him all day long. He sleeps with her and we think we're going to have to find Levi Dos--just in case.

Gabi's newest spoken words are "book, bucket, GG, car, bear, go."
