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.
