Bring a beautiful little blue-eyed blonde to church with you in El Salvador and you definitely get noticed. Maleia was quite the cutie in her Hawaiian dress and, of course, we were happy to tell everyone that she was our granddaughter. She did really well, but the two-hour service does get long! We made it home and fixed a quick lunch before her nap time.
Last night was "Homemade Ice Cream and Cake II." It featured some returning guests--William, Gilma, Jerry and Amy; Luis, Ana, Daniela and Louisa; as well as some first time guests--Loy and Miriam; Koky, Ena and Rafe. Most of the 18 helped cranked (at least a little bit) and everyone seemed to enjoy the ice cream and cake. The three little girls followed Maleia around most of the time. The evening ended with a short violin concert by Rafe!
The whole family was together for a few minutes last night when we were Skyping with Jon. He was really sorry not to be here for the ice cream.
This morning we had grandpa's favorite breakfast--biscuits and gravy. Maleia helped make the biscuits, cut them and put them on the cookie sheet. I think her favorite part may have been eating them with strawberry jelly.
It sure is fun to have them here with us. She and Grandpa have been going for walks, swinging in the park, reading books and he lets her stand in the back of his pickup truck. Today we all walked over to Santa Tecla park so she could play for a bit. It's nap time again for her and Shannon. Stephen and Daniel are shooting baskets in the park. I just took an apple pie out of the oven!
