International Culture

Living in a college town affords us a lot of unique opportunities. Last Saturday we attended the International Fiesta on campus. Displays, food and activities representing dozens of different cultures were set up on the Drill Field at MSU. It was a beautiful day so we packed a lunch and went to check out the Fiesta. Lots of people and lots of terrific smelling food was topped only by the African student group's drum line leading the parade of flags. As you can imagine, Joshua danced to his heart's content to the drums. (We got a few video clips of him that I will try to load later.) We really had a great time and had one very tired baby when we left.

Joshua and this little boy probably would have stared at each other for hours had we not been standing in the middle of the sidewalk holding up traffic.
Hooray for one of the local Methodist churches for passing out balloons!

Studying the people passing by.

Joshua threw and rolled the ball all over the place...usually right at the feet of an innocent passerby.
Monday morning Joshua was examined by a local ENT who determined that he is "a perfect candidate for tubes in his ears." This was exactly what we were hoping to hear as Joshua really needs a break from taking antibiotics for ear infections. So this coming Monday he will have tubes placed.

We will be praying that the tubes procedure goes smoothly. We've had several friends that have had this done and it has really seemed to help.
