Sweet Faith - we think she looks a lot like Elisabeth did when she was little. Fe parece mucha a Elisabet cuando ella era bebita.
God loves to answer our prayers! I prayed that He would give our children a tree to climb at our new house - and right out front He gave us a great climbing tree. Thank you Lord! Susanna esta senalando a Samuel, quien esta arriba en el arbol.
Even Isaiah likes the tree - when we help him up! Isaias le gusta subir a este arbol tambien.
Here is a picture of our home from the front. The tree you can see in the top lefthand corner is the "climbing tree." We use the side door, which opens to the kitchen. Este casa es lo que estamos aquilando mientras estamos aqui en los Estados.
Samuel and Susanna each have their own little garden plot at the edge of our big garden. We pray all does well this year - fresh vegtables are so much more expensive than in Peru. Aqui Susanna y Samuel estan mostrando nuestras hortalizas. Veduras son tan caros aqui, esperamos y oramos que produce bien nuestras hortalizas, para que comamos muchas verduras este ano.
Samuel enjoys puffing a dandylion. . . Samuel con una flor blanca.
Isaiah smelling the violets right outside our house. Isaias disfrutando las violetas.
Susanna is Mama's big helper when it comes to dish washing - and we are all enjoying the luxury of an inside sink! Susanna ayuda con lavar los platos.
"The Helpful Girls" is what my girls call themselves when they pretend to come over to help me for the day. Here is a dessert from New Zealand that they learned to make. Aqui mis hijitas han aprendido a cocinar una postre rica.
Elisabeth is in the middle front, wearing a lavander dress. She went with her music class to sing at a nursing home. Elisabet esta cantando con sus amigas para los ancianos en un hogar para los ancianos. Ella esta en el medio con un vestido morado.
Samuel and Isaiah "help" me clean up after a batch of brownies. Samuel y Isaias "aydandome" limpiar los platos . . . que rica masa de torta!
Thanks so much Uncle Zane, Aunt Denise, and family for this sweet little outfit! I really like it! Fe ya tiene 2 meses y es mi florcita bonita!
Elsisabeth took this picture of Faith and I after her bath. Elisabet tomo este foto de Fe Cristiana y yo.
Faith after her bath - so fresh and clean! Her hair is curly when it is wet. Fe, despues que la he banado. !Que preciosa!
When Faith was 5 weeks old, Elisabeth's good friend Keturah was blessed with her first younger sister, Joyce. Here are the happy big sisters with their precious bundles. Faith is 5 weeks old, Joyce is 1 day old. . . amazing how quickly newborns change into alert little things! Una amiguita buena de Elisabet tiene una hermanita tambien. (La nina y bebita son hermanitas de la familia de Maria.)
