Marshallese people are quite musically inclined. When Makana awakens in the morning, she sings in her crib. :) (At least, that is what it seems like she does.) She has been doing that from when I first met her. If I don't tend to her within 5 minutes or so of singing, the tunes start turning a little more demanding.
She loves music and is fascinated by the CD player, for she looks around, as if to ask, "Where are the people whose voices I hear?"

hey Monica! I stumbled across your blog, and I'm so glad I did. Makana is soooo cute. Sounds like your little family is doing great in Arizona, praise the Lord. I'm sure I'll be visiting here regularly for updates on the Merrifields.
Hi, Jennifer! It's great to hear from you! Please stop by as often as you can; I hope to update a little more frequently after I get a routine (?) going in my life. :)
She is so cute, Monica! I'm so happy for you guys! I'm glad I found your blog (from a link on your brother's blog). It's neat to see what God is doing in people's lives post-seminary. :)
P.S. Did you know Maki has a blog? There's pics of her baby on there. makiboo.blogspot.com
Thanks, Dana! :) Hey, I saw that Maki visits my blog! :) Thanks, Maki!
Did you know that Eve and Brian Priest also adopted a girl this year? Her name is Cana, and she is from Guatemala. :) I don't know if they have a blog, though.
It is great to hear from you. What are you doing back in the Show-Me state?
I spent a little over a year in CO as a Sunday School curriculum editor, and now am a freelance editor and writer working on Christian Ed stuff. I moved back to MO because it's a lot cheaper to live here than in CO!
No, I hadn't heard about Eve and Brian's baby. That's great!
