New Beginnings

Shelbyanne has had a great start here in Missouri. She loves being outside, playing on the playground or in the nearest patch of dirt she can find. She is the youngest in her preschool class. She loves being in class and has made some new friends.

Here are a few pictures of what she has been up to lately. Enjoy!
HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY SHELBYANNE
On her 3rd birthday we let her pick out her clothes for the day. She chose the pink princess dress she got from her cousins. She wore it all day...even for her birthday dinner. It was fun!
She opened her presents first thing in the morning. Then we had a fun day out and about.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR HER GIFTS. SORRY FOR NOT GETTING PROPER THANK YOU NOTES OUT HIS YEAR. SHE LOVES EVERYTHING SHE GOT.

Playing with the water table we bought for her with her birthday money.
Cutting with her scissors. I love watching her stick out her tongue while cutting.
She and Mommy were able to ride on a new NTM plane called the Kodiak a few weeks ago. Here we are getting instructions for the 30 minute flight. We had a blast.
Shelbyanne is fixing the hair of Valdecio, one of our e-linc (discipleship) advisors.
She loves playing on the swingset next to our house. The weather has beenreally nice lately.
Here shelbyanne is getting the exprience of meeting a tribal man at NTM's Kodiak event. It was actually one of the missionaries who had planted a church in a tribe. He had dressed as a tribal man would and gave people in the community the chance to experience being in a tribe. Shelbyanne had a cold, so Emily was taking care of her while she talked on the phone to Nana.
Cool hats!
Shelbyanne is getting into dressing up and playing. She especially loves to wear the "pink princess" dress, as she calls it, that her cousins gave to her for her birthday.
