Ezri’s latest excerpt

Hello all!

Just wanted to post those pics I promised a couple weeks back…you will note the following photo ops: 1) Me, livin’ large in mommy’s t-shirt; if clothes are lying around the house…it won’t be long before I get my mitts on ‘em!……………. 2) Some pics of me and mommy watching a video–my favorite time of day (oftentimes I begin asking for video as soon as I awaken around 7:30am, but unfortunately–unless I’m sick–video is reserved for around 4:30pm….still gotta try, eh?!!…………….3) Daddy got some shots of the view out of our living room window…around sunset…………….4) Some photos of me eating two messy treats: spaghetti, and my first try on cream cheese spread on a cracker–let’s just say the cheese was good and the cracker was left standing alone!………………. 5)Finally, you’ll note a couple shots of me wearing Daddy’s sock; they may be ‘ankle socks’ to Daddy, but they are more like boots on me….knee-high boots!!!

OK then…hope this finds you all well and enjoying summer wherever in the world you may be!!!

Corn, squealing and Elmo’s rapping genius—by ezri

Well, it’s been a while since you had an “Ezri Excerpt”, so here goes:

May I call your attention to the video clips shown below… We have me, Ezri, enjoying my very first corn on the cob. You see, mom and grammy got a family meal from KFC and I normally prefer the ‘ chicken and rice ‘a la king”…that’s right…in Hong Kong, the have rice dishes at KFC–a shocker for some of you, I know. Anyway, the rice is fabulous….rice, gravy, peas, carrots and chicken! But, mom handed me this yellow mystery on a stick…and i went wild! I’ve liked whole kernel corn for some time, but this puts a whole new spin on things!

The next video, you will notice I am running. “Running from what?”, you may ask. Well, the time is about 8:00pm, and my usual bedtime is around 7:30pm…..we are out at a friend’s house, and am roaming about, being chased by grammy…just a fun time to squeal, I suppose! it is a bit of ‘toddler tazmania’ when I’m out and up too late! I am becoming quite the little walker/runner; sometimes mommy and daddy let me walk beside them now, holding their hand, of course.

And, the last shot you have here is of me getting my jam on to the best new song around: Elmo’s Alphabet Rap!!! What a great song!! I mean, my friend, Elmo, can really rap! He goes from the A to the B….then the C, D, E…you get the picture—he’s tremendous! I like bopping my head and occasionally swaying my hips a bit to the beat!

Well, that’s all for me for now. I’ll be in touch. I actually have some other photos and footage around somewhere, that I should share as well…so, we’ll keep you posted. ————– Oh, and just to give you an update on my brother, Javi: he’s still doing swell, it seems. We are currently waiting on this one office to sign our papers before processing can proceed. This office has 44 cases from Javi’s orphanage in their hands right now, and all they need to do is sign already!!! There is some fishy business going on and it seems they are asking for bribes, etc.! Please pray that these officials will do their jobs and sign off on all 44 cases, so that the babies can be united with their forever families a.s.a.p.! We’ll sure be glad to have the Javster on board with us here in HK!!!

Okay, then…check out the video footage!
