Abigail, Baby, and Mom
Abigail's favorite stuffed animal is named Baby. This weekend we did another Lice treatment on the girls hair just top make sure we'd gotten them all. Abigail decided that Baby needed to have her hair done too! Abigail was so cute about the whole thing we just had to get in front of the I-Camara and snap a picture!
At Ferry Boat Shopping Center
We have really enjoyed spending time with our friends Daiane and Alex. They have helped us so much! Here are some shots of us visiting the Ferry Boat Shopping Center. It has a wonderful view across to Santos from Guaruja. Alex and Daiane continue to be a tremendous blessing to our family!

LICE!!!!!!!!!!
YUCK YUCK YUCK is what I have to say about lice! What a headache! But I suppose we all have to "scratch" that "itch" when it arrives! Well, for us here at the Hoskins household - this lovely blessing has been bestowed upon us!
Look Mom...We're pretending the beans that Abby spilled are baby bugs! Just like the ones in my hair - aren't they cute?
OK - so Hope's reaction to us finding out that we all had lice was better than mine...
But, after realizing - it's just one of those thing...I had to get the camera and take a picture of the girls playing with the beans (I mean, "baby bugs") and putting guarding them by dropping them into the empty 20 liter water tank that we usually drink filtered water from!
Well - after reading up on the internet about the unsafety of chemical lice shampoo and small children - we decided to use the home remedy of mayonaise!!! The girls and I had lots of fun smothering the bugs with mayonaise! We're supposed to sleep in it and shower tomorrow and then use the lice comb to rid ourselves of these lovely little blood-sucking blessings!

Mom and Gracie have fun with the I-Camara
Gracie loves to see herself on the computer. (We often talk online to our family and friends) I seem to have captured many "Mom and Gracie" moments... take a look...
Baby Carrier
This is how Gracie often gets around. It is quite the conversation starter too! People ALWAYS stop us and ask us about it b/c it is so foreign here. This provided us a wonderful opportunity to share about "why" we're here in Brazil!!!

One of the discount drugstores Advertised by soccer legend PELE
The Lottery (Loteria) is very big here. The Loteria store is also the same place you pay some of your bills - lights, gas, water, etc.)
How many different cuts of meat do you recognize here?
A Railroad crossing sign. (We actually go excited recently when we saw a train. There are so few where we live. I think I've only seen 1 train since we've lived in Brazil!)

The graffiti here often appears to be quite the art form!

Party Day at School
The last day of every months the girls new school celebrates birthdays. On this day Abigail got fixed up like a kitty cat! She really enjoyed acting the part. Then of course, when Hope saw Abigail - she just had to get in on the fun too. So when we got home, I did my best to paint Hope with make-up. Obviously mom is not the professional, but the girls really enjoyed this day
Visit with Dr. Floyd & Mrs. Helen
Dr. John Floyd and his wife Helen came on a whirlwind trip of South America not too long ago. While they were in Brazil, they were able to come see us! We were so excited to see familiar faces from home in Memphis and from home at Mid-America (Baptist Theological Seminary). It was a wonderful blessing to be able to have lunch with them and share with them the joys and challenges of serving in this area.
Nolen Pridemore, Chuck, and Dr. Floyd
We all had lunch together, Nolen & Sheila Pridemore, Dr. & Mrs. Floyd and The Hoskins family!
Mrs. Helen fixed Hope's hair at lunch. Here's hope admiring Mrs. Helen's work!

The other day all three of our little girls were playing dolls. It was so cute to see all three of my little babies playing together! We are so blessed that God has given us 3 AWESOME little girls. Each one is so unique in beauty and personality! We serve an incredible GOD OF WONDERS! The God who created each one of these little miracles and has allowed Chuck and I to care for them and teach them His Word. What a blessing!
