GUAPO

Hi Everyone,
Daddy is upstairs in our room trying to get Isaac to sleep. He is such a love bug but keeps going and going...lol. Daddy is in love and can't stop smiling....I think I will have to settle for two Momma's boys and one Daddy's boy....lol. I love watching Rick's face when he interacts with Isaac.

We have met some of the most wonderful people...aside from all of you of coarse...lol. Many families from all over, even England. It is very odd to see a 4 year old Guatemalan girl speak with an English accent. Isaac ate his first Gerber Puffs today and then we couldn't keep him out of them. He NEVER fusses....which is why I think Rick is sooooo in love.

We had to move, pack and unpack, today since they could never get our bathroom plumbing to work. Tomorrow morning we have to be up at 5 to be ready to leave by 6 for the Embassy. Pray everything goes smoothly for us. Most of the families here are taking their baby home, but there are a few that are just visiting....my heart goes out to them.

We have taken about 200 pictures so far....but here are a few. Thank you Lord for our precious Isaac!!!! We are thinking of a nickname to give him in Spanish....Ben wants Gordido (gor-dee-doe) which means just a little fat...lol.
Well, the office is closing here so we have to go, but will write more tomorrow.
Adïos
PS Sorry this video was not the one I wanted to post but will post that one tomorrow...it is so funny to hear him laugh

I DIDN'T DO IT

All parents go through it; it's not like I'm the first. But when a day like today happens, it gives me a sense of desire to suspend time. Just long enough to grasp everything God wants me to learn in the moments He has given me. And not that I ever could see or understand ALL that He has done or was trying to teach me, but I still sit in awe of Him tonight. Today He blessed me with unexpected eye opening experiences. Ben responded to my invitation for a bike ride early this morning, much to my suprise and delight, with a yes. We took a route we hadn't before, the roads were quiet, we stopped and talked to some horses (no response back : ) ) and had some really great conversation together. After breakfast we got ready and headed out to shop, but first stopped by Wawa's for a coffee. It only felt normal to ask him, although it was the first time I had, "would you like a coffee", and he replied, "sure". Hmmm, I thought....that seemed refreshin...

A BEST FRIEND

The house is quiet, the kids are sleeping in their beds and I sit here in the dark listening to the droning sound of the refrigerator motor humming. I found myself just sitting here unaware I was jumping in thought from my husbands expected arrival home any minute now, to "I wonder how many more weeks until the CCC college kids come home?". I thought about a friends recent surgery, Ben's guitar playing and how quickly he has picked it up, to Isaac's soon to be 2nd birthday. But I found myself resting....rather, visiting a friend in thought. We were sitting on our deck having a ice cold glass of tea. Her voice was as sincere and kind as it was sweet to listen to. It was fragile and shaky; letting me know there were years behind every word she spoke. Her laughter made known she was confident in who she was and that her life had been good. We stood many days on the boundary line where our yards touched just catching up with each other. She'd ask how "Ri...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK

Image
We celebrated Rick's 48th Birthday. The I and the boys got him a mug, a DVD (comedian), a shirt and framed pictures of themselves. We just can't say enough about Rick and how loved and important he is to me and the kids. I'm sure every woman feels their husband is the best, but I truly look up to Rick for a multitude of reasons. He is by far the smartest, most level headed, GIVING, man I know. I have never seen a man so patient and full of grace. His birthday is always a day I thank God for placing him in my life and his mom and dad for raising him to be the God honoring husband and father that he is. WE LOVE YOU RICK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....LOVE, ANNIE AND THE BOYS
