Independence Day... a tad late!

On September 15th the boys had a program at school to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day... thankfully a toned-down version from what we used to see in the public schools! ;)

Above, the three caballeros in their gentleman cowboy get-up...
The Kinder class didn't perform, but were present for the activities! They stayed on our porch until the presentation was ready and played Dora Memory... what else??? :)
The crowd anxiously waiting for the show to begin...
Marcos dancing (middle)...

Aron dancing...

And Diego dancing... :)

Let me take this opportunity to say that NOT ONE of the boys was really that excited about dancing. Marcos started off being excited, then lost interest... Diego was so-so about it all... and Aron HATED it.


Still... they sucked it up and were pretty cute!


After the show we ate a sumptious lunch of chilaquiles and then enjoyed a day off from school!

And to change the subject... this was our latest sonogram: Peanut sucking his/her thumb! :)

Please continue your prayers for this place... we are so thankful for them! God is working in mighty and unexpected ways right now and we are so blessed to see His hand... even when it looks dark all around. It is the time of the October festivals here in Magdalena and with those come a lot of spiritual darkness... please pray that the people of this town would truly see with new eyes and hear with open ears the saving words of our God!

I don't know what you guys are talking about...

BUT... I do know that I am so proud of my niece! Criss-cross-applesauce. The other kids are sitting in the "w" sit, and it's so bad for their young knees. GO CANDI!! ;) lol

Looked sorta like square-dancing to me. Funny, Peanut looks a lot like our grandchildren. :) At least, until they were born!!
