Is there a Doctor in the House? Part 2

Valmik likes to be helpful and shows compassion in different ways. He was given a doctor set and enjoys playing doctor with Dad and "baby". Another Indian doctor in the making?

Mom and Val: Reading Again

Hello, Everyone-

This morning we went to church. After lunch, Mom went to a shower in honor of Valmik! It was so nice for her to enjoy prayer and fellowship with the lovely ladies of The Geneva School. They shared many wonderful gifts with our family.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dad and Valmik fed the ducks, washed the car, vacuumed the car and garage, played games and rough- housed. All of this activity explains the picture where Mom and Val are asleep sitting up! At 7:00 p.m. they sat down to read a story before bath time and, at some point, both fell asleep.

We hope this finds you all well and happy as you celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We are certainly thankful for each of you and count your prayers and presence in our lives as one of God's greatest blessings!

Mom and Val: Reading and Singing by the Fire

Val was wearing Dad's fleece jacket when they went outside. Valmik liked it so much he hasn't taken it off yet. He's sleeping in it as we write this.

Why waste it?

Even the smallest pumpkin can provide all kinds of fun!

Crafts

Valmik likes to make gifts and cards to give to "teachers" at school.

The Rowes at Lowes

Valmik made his first visit to Lowe's. He has not visited many stores, so he enjoyed playing on the rider mowers. The weekends are generally falling into a routine that involves feeding the ducks, visits to parks, baking, cooking, and cleaning (usually with Mom), listening to books, and taking showers (he likes long showers). We all enjoy his afternoon nap!

Everyday Life

The upper picture was taken in Mom's classroom, where Val occasionally spends time after school . He enjoys playing piano spontaneously and we tell ourselves he has a good ear for music.

Val also likes to go to the park. Before church we went to a nearby park. In the lower photo, Valmik is hiding from Dad; Dad reached overhead and blindly shot the picture. We like the expression on his face.
