A Few Updates

Things have been busier than normal these last few days, so here are a few quick updates:

1. Charis turned 8 months old yesterday! She celebrated by going to a baby playgroup in the morning in our neighborhood and by eating bananas for the first time (which she loved!) This month she perfected sitting up, realized she loves to stand up while holding onto things, started eating applesauce, and grins at anyone and everyone who smiles at her.

A little playtime before going to sleep

Fittingly playing with Pooh :)

Our beautiful 8 month old

Almost a smile?

2. Zach had his first huge Islamic Thought quiz last week (actually the only one of the whole semester), and he studied diligently for it over the weekend.  He got it back yesterday:

See that? Yep.  100%.  Who gets a 100% on their first huge test of graduate school? My husband does. :)

3. We asked you to pray that we wouldn't have trouble getting our visas.  Our appointment was this weekend, and although it wasn't without drama, we did (finally!) get our student visas.  So praise the Lord for that!
