Our Cute Little Men

Flooding, Landslides, and Death in Costa Rica

Costa Rica has been receiving heavy rainfall over the past several days. Thankfully the area where we are living hasn't been effected negatively by it, but the news is reporting that "there are 700,000 people across the country lacking potable water, 20 dead, and many homes and cars swept away by landslides from massive flooding and rainfall." Please pray for those who are suffering tonight. I would also strongly encourage you to read this amazing story. Jed and Jaime are friends of ours from our days at language school and we are so glad that God protected them.

One Month Old

It's hard to believe that God blessed us with this little bundle of joy one month ago today. Has it really been that long already?

Jared's First Doctor's Visit

Dr. Salazar brought me into this world. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor!

Mommy and Daddy felt sorry for poor Dr. Molina, my pediatrician. I "watered" him, his wall, and his floor! He took it very well though.

I didn't like it too much when he checked my spine.

The Park

The weather here today was beautiful, so we decided to spend a little time at the park next door. This was Jared's first adventure into the great outdoors, but I doubt that he got much out of it since he slept through the whole thing. The rest of us had fun though!

He's all ready to go.

Devin has been having a ball playing with Uncle Jeffrey (no pun intended)!

Today is Independence Day in Costa Rica. Many children dress up in typical outfits and march in parades. This cute little girl was pretty interested in Jared.

Who has the bigger mouth? Devin...

...or Momall?

He's Here!

WARNING

Not Responsible for Heart Attacks Caused by Post

Yes, it's been a little while since I posted (thus the warning above). Life is moving along as it has a tendency to do, and little Willy (NO, that is NOT his real name) will be here before we know it. We are all getting excited to say the least. Devin even seems to comprehend that he will soon be getting a little brother. He was super excited to go to Missy's last check-up to be able to see the baby. Lord willing our new little one will be arriving in about five weeks. We would appreciate your prayers that everything would go smoothly.

Devin loves to kiss his baby brother.

Devin's First Sleep-over

We enjoyed a very special time with our national church president's family this past weekend. Two weeks ago we moved from the small apartment where we had lived for the past year and a half into a much more adequate house. We thought that it would be nice to invite the Meneses family to spend a night with us in our new place. It is quite common for us to visit with them at their home in Paraiso, but rarely has it worked out for them to visit us. So this past Friday I picked up their family after the boys got out of school and they spent Friday night and Saturday morning with us. Everyone had a great time, especially the boys! It was the first time that Devin had friends come and spend the night with him.
