Slagles

So, brother Joel left last weekend for a year in Russia teaching at an international school. Before he left we wanted to get a family pic with the newest addition since we're not sure when we all be together again. Here's the results. The last picture is the Slagles at their best!

So, I love that my niece is doing her silly face. She's too cute!

Bits & Pieces

Just thought I'd share a few pictures to show what's been up with us the past few weeks.

With all the fires in the area, the sun has been red because of the smoke. This was the best picture we took of it, but it still doesn't show how thick the smoke has been, but it seems to be clearing a bit recently.

Uche looking good. This was our anniversary June 30th, right before we went out to dinner.

Our self-portrait. Ndiajero turns 5. I'm a little behind posting the pictures I know!

This was the piece of cake we ate to celebrate the anniversary. Uche let me choose it. It's chocolate with a fudge frosting. Delicious.

Here's the reason why I didn't bother planting a garden this year. A family seems to call ours and our neighbors backyard home.

They are running right where my garden has been. Last year they feasted on fresh vegetables, this year dry weeds.

Taken from our dining room window. Can't you hear it saying, what are you looking at??

And last, but definitely not least. This is our new nephew. He was born on July 26th. He's only a few hours old in this picture. He's a tiny sweet little man.
