Cradleboard

n

This is Mondo, Audreyana and little Shiwaylynn who was born about a month ago. We are teaching the family, Audreyana being the oldest child of a family of nine children.

The cradleboard is commonly used by the Navajo Moms. This cradleboard has been used for Audreyanas four younger sibblings and now for her little girl. The baby had only been tied into it for about ten minutes when she was fast asleep. They only put her in it at night.

A sign of spring when the flowers start to bloom. A pretty sight even if it is a weed.

When rottotilling the garden this little guy came crawling out. According to my field book he looks like a Regal Horned Lizard but anyone who has looked at him calls it a Horned Toad. From what they say here we will see a lot of creepy crawly things in the summer. Snakes are very common in fact Antonias' family had to move from their house a couple of years ago because it was so infested with snakes. YUK.

We are keeping busy with the garden projects plus our teaching appointments and visiting members. With so much sickness and spring the attendance at church has gone down but hopfully that will change. Elder Lybbert has finally got over a cold and cough he has had for two weeks so things are looking good.

We love you all,

Elder and Sister Lybbert
