Leister's Kenyan Life

Habari! This is Pheobi she's my little ducky. I call her ducky because she has the mouth of ducky in the "land befor time". When she first came to us she made a little ducky sound. Is'nt she adorable? And little Joyce in her B-DAY hat I made for her. It's the best hat I'v made so far, it has violet on top and voilet and purple mix on the sides with purple on the bottom. Pritty cool, I know! HOLY HUVERING HUMING BIRDS! I forgot to tell you about this bug on the last blog. This unplesent bug is a kind of cocroch! Oh and FYI, it was'nt in our house. It was night time when it hit the window and we thought it was a bird becuse the noise was so loud. Pritty disturbing, I know. This adorable creater is Eliza. Is'nt she delightful? She looks a lot like her brother, I think she also has some looks like her Grandma Jessy. She also has a very expressive face. This is Sylvia and guess what she's an OPRA singer. Sylvia is so very funny,nice & pritty she ha...

Our Month started out with a Birthday Celebration for Nancy & Maggie! They are doing well, their mother's sidewalk business is doing well and she is mostly healthy!
