We had the blessing of having our first visitor. My mom came for a visit for 2 weeks that turned into almost 3. She had plans of returning this past Sunday, but unfortunately she had problems with her back that would not allow for returning to the States. Praise the Lord we have a good Chiropractor that was able to help her, and my mom was able to return the following Wednesday.
Avigail has lately had a Spanish explosion. She has amazed us with her spanish lately. She was praying the other day and I was blown away by how well she was speaking. After she finished praying I was almost tempted to ask how she used some of words in her prayer. These are the same things I am trying to learn how to use in a sentence. Notice the key words, "trying". I haven't wrapped my brain around how to plug these things in yet. Notice also the key word "yet". I am confident it will come, but not quite yet. Kids obviously are sponges.
This is a sweet little friend of Ella. Her name is Audrey McClain. We blessed that the McClain family will actually stay in Costa Rica as missionaries. So we won't have to say good-bye just yet.
We pulled off a surprise Birthday party for the girls in February. They were truly surprised. We had a great time with friends. We had a princess piñata, of course! It always surprises me that little girls who play "princess" all the time, have no problem smacking the face of a beautiful image of a princess in hopes of the getting the candy. The girls really seemed to enjoy their party.
