Summer time joys - July times El Verano
July started off with family reunions on the Wenger side in VA. What fun to reconnect after 4 years apart.
Betsie with Isaiah in front and Faith in back, Angela, Gordon's sister with Yoshiki in front and Mirai in back.
Aqui estamos con la familia de Gordon - su Hermana y dos se sus tres subrinos.
More fun with cousins - Timmy and Tiara play with Samuel, Isaiah, and Gordon
Gordon jugando con mas sobrinos, Timoteo y Tiara.
Susanna, Elisabeth, and Rebecca had special times together, too.
Elisabet y Susanna con la unica sobrina que tenemos en la familia de Gordon, Rebecca.
Virginia has some great swimming holes - we enjoyed them!
Banandonos en agua caliente era bueno - como en la selva.
Visiting friends with a mini-horse was a treat for the children.
Un caballito tan chiquito de amigos.
. . . And finding a Peruvian restaurant was a memorable day!
Hemos encontrado un restaurant Peruana en Virginia.
We all enjoyed Pollo A la Brasa. Look at those smiles!
Y hemos comido Pollo a la Brasa - mira las sonrisas.
We arrived home in NC to find our garden brimming with produce. It was a great year for cucumbers - look at those 2 laundry baskets full! Thank you Lord!
Gracias a Dios, nuestros hortalizas han dado mucho comida ha nosotros este ano.
We enjoyed a visit from Betsie's family in mid-July. . . they arrived just in time to do up our sweet corn, a treat we haven't grown for years since it doesn't grow in Velille. Moses and Helena are helping Gordon and Elisabeth here.
Choclo tambien hemos cosechado. Helena estaba visitando y ayudando.

Our Treasure - Nuestra Tesorita
Our sweet baby will be 6 months old on the 13th. Since Gordon took the older four to an auction today, we are enjoying some Mama-daughter time :) When Grandma said it had been a while since she had seen any pictures of her great-grandaughter, I went out and took these! Nuestra tesorita ya esta por cumplir 6 meses. Fe Cristiana ya esta grande, y puede sentarse solita. Casi no puedo esperar traerla a Velille para que ella puede conocer su pueblo.

Everything's Growing!
We praise God for all the growing things around us that show His care and blessing. . . our garden, and even more special, our children. In this post, we have pictures of our precious Faith and each of her siblings interacting with her as she grows. . . we thought of you that are far away and wanted to share a bit of our joy with you. Aqui tenemos fotos de nuestras hortalizas y de nuestros hijitos preciosos para que ustedes amigos lejos de nosotros pueden disfrutar ellos con nosotros. Extranamos a ustedes mucho - MUCHO!!! 
Here is our garden with our house in the background. Nuestras hortalizas.
We are so very grateful to the Lord for His bountiful blessings in our garden. We eat from it every day and are so thankful for all the help weeding we had while we were gone last month! Gracias a Dios por mucha comida de nuestras hortalizas ahora!
At four months old, Faith has begun to like to look around. . . she stays content with all the activity around her! Fe ya tiene 4 meses, y le gusta mucho estar en el piso, mirando sus hermanitos.
Papa time! Tiempo con Papa!
What an active girly :) Gordon used to call Susanna "Butterfly" because she waved her arms so much. I think Faith is just as active! Fecita tiene mucha energia como Susanna tenia cuando era bebita.
Samuel loves his sister and daily asks to hold her. Samuel siempre esta pidiendo cargar a Susanna.
Faith's newest feat is trying to sit up in her baby seat. Fe siempre quiere sentarse ahora.
Her sisters think each new accomplishment is just the greatest thing and are always giggling and cheering her on! Is it any wonder she is in such a hurry to grow up? Elisabet y Susanna estan ayudando Fe a aprender cosas nuevas cada dia.
Well, it's like this, we've been trying and trying to encourage Faith to take a pacifier. Even Isaiah gets in on the act. We've been working on this for 2 months now. . . Fe no quiere su chuparon.
. . . But her fingers have been satisfying her more and more lately, try as we might to switch her to a pacifier every time we see her sucking fingers. Pero ella si quiere a sus dedos - aunque siempre estamos tratando de darle su chuparon en vec de dedos.
This week she has settled into sucking them just like Samuel used to. . . and she is so content. Ahora quiere chupar como Samuelito siempre chupaba.
So we've . . . finally . . . given up on the pacifier. . . and are just enjoying how sweet she looks and how easy it is to have a baby in the home that will put herself to sleep whenever you lay her down when she's tired! Awwwww. . . . Entonces, ya sabemos que nunca va a usar su chuparon, pero no importa mucho. . . ella es tan linda y preciosa. . .
