The summer activities have officially begun here in Chemntiz. Our LST Team arrived on Tuesday and on Wednesday we had an information meeting at a hotel down the street from our house to let people know about the Let's Start Talking Program. It is an English conversation program in which students read text one-on-one from the Bible with a student from the USA. Our team is from Oklahoma Christian University. We have 4 girls this year. They are: Mandy Holmes, Morgan Nash, Sarah Byrd and Sarah Gogarty. Once again I was reminded how small the world is when Mandy told me she used to live in Yukon but moved when she was 6. I remember her family, but I barely recognized her since it had been so long! Anyway, the girls have each about 6-7 students that they are reading with mostly on a weekly basis, although some students are reading more often than that. We are really excited about this program and hope that it goes well!
In Heidi news :) she went to the doctor again yesterday and got another immunization shot. She did well again although she did cry a little more than past times. But she is ok and hasn't had any side effects or anything. She now weighs 5490 g (12 lb 1 1/2 oz) and is still 61 cm (24 in). Exciting news: Heidi rolled from her back to her side on Tuesday! She has been doing it a lot lately now! Pretty soon she is going to be rolling all over the place! We definitely have to keep an eye on her now as she never ends up in the same spot we put her in when we pick her up. :) She also seems to really be enjoying finding her voice. She loves "singing" and "talking" in really high tones! Could we have another soprano on our hands??!! We took family photos and 3 mo. pictures of Heidi. I'm sure you have already noticed the new pic on our profile. Also, the doctor said yesterday that as soon as we run out of the formula that we have been feeding her (1st level) we will start feeding her the 2nd level and also begin feeding her some rice cereal! We will definitely have to get a video of that! I will leave you with some of our beautiful pictures that our friend Sophia did for us!
Here is a video that was taken on April 3rd. She was just beginning to really find her hands and play with them more by grabbing things pretty well.

Oh, how precious Heidi is! Your friend did a wonderful job on the photos and I really like the one you posted for the profile! We are praying for your summer work - enjoy your LST team!
She is SO precious!!!
Sophia rocks the photography world. And you can tell her I said so, if she doesn't read this. ;o)
Heidi rocks the cuteness world. And you can tell her I said so, since she won't be reading this anytime soon. ;o)
And thanks for the LST update! I wish Ed and I could be there...but I'm glad Morgan is there and that the Chemnitz work is carrying on (and not wayward, in case anyone makes a Kansas reference). ;o)
I love you guys!
