Isaiah's first teeth and other Fall (March) snapshots

These 3 are photos of us on the road waiting/hoping for a vehicle to take us to Tacllapampa for a Sunday service.

Elisabeth loves picking flowers.

Samuel and Susanna playing on the path (steep mountain trail)

Here we are, waiting, with a nice view of town-Susanna's dog, Monkey, came along!

While Gordon was in Cusco, we had an Indian finger meal, with yellow rice and plain yogurt. Isaiah got really messy.

Sweet Isaiah David, 13 months old.

Here you can see his first teeth. Unlike the other children, his first tooth came in on top. Family puzzle time-Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Wenger!

Susanna and Samuel really liked having the 25 piece one they could do. Elisabeth really enjoys the 100 piece ones. Gordon loves to help.

Betsie really enjoys her litle herb/flower garden. We also get a good bit of lettuce out of it each year.

Thanks Sister Judy. The Cosmos and everything you sent are doing great.

Some glimpses of March

Elisabeth and Samuel enjoy the flowers in our window.

Isaiah likes to crawl out of our school room and play with the box of "outside toys" during school hours. School started for our children the first of March.

Friday is "Cook with Mama Day" and the children and I always enjoy making cookies, brownies, or some such treat together on Fridays.

Isaiah loves his blanket Aunt Lydia!

The children enjoy "playing Church" together.

Isaiah's First Birthday!

Hello from Sunny Arequipa - Praise the Lord we made it here safe and sound yesterday. Now that we have good internet here in the city, we hope to post some pictures that we have taken over the last 6 weeks for you dear Grandparents and family and friends! We will start with the ones from Feb. 12th - Isaiah's 1st birthday.

Elisabeth took this picture of all of us gathered for his birthday! (Poor Isaiah has a banged up nose in these pictures from falling off the bed. . . )

We decided to give Isaiah his cake and watch and see what he would do with it. His brother and sisters really had fun laughing at him as he dove into it ~ actually we all laughed and laughed!

And we all agreed that he really. . .

. . . really enjoyed his birthday cake!

We were so glad to have the bath hot to bathe him after his cake fun!

Isaiah's favorite birthday present was the blanket that Aunt Lydia made him! (Does Susanna remind you of 4 year old Lydia "panther" in this picture?)

Everyone enjoyed his birthday - especially since Aunt Helena sent everyone presents! Samuel is here enjoying his "Special Book."
