Abundancy of Life!

That title about sums up our experience these past few months and weeks! :)

Yesterday we went out for supper to celebrate our six-month anniversary (thanks "Uncle Seth!") and it is just incredible to me that that amount of time has passed since we were married... and yet.

And yet, paradoxically, it seems to be so normal!

God is so faithful and we are both thankful that He continues to teach us... we pray we can always remain teachable!!!


These were just a few pics from the past couple months... enjoy!

Our kids received some gifts from a sweet friend of theirs and have been constantly playing with their Legos... thanks Gabri!!!
Candi lost her first tooth! And... ahem... the tooth rat (yes, Mexico is slightly different) threw her tooth away and STILL hasn't given her her pesos! She frequently reminds me of that... ;)

My companions on the nightstand at 25 weeks of pregnancy... :)

I love this creativity! Thank You, Lord, for dirt!!! :)

We took care of Jodi's girls back in October when she went home for Ross & Leah's wedding... we thoroughly enjoyed them! This was a dress-up day at school (for Todd's birthday) and so the kids were all decked out!


We are living in a new location now (Limon & Kristi's old house, which used to be the old girls' dorm), so I will try to post a few pics of our new home! Things here are always changing... ;)


Thanks for your continued prayers for our family and for CVE -- please pray that we (specifically) would have patience to understand and desire God's timing for the adoption, not our own, and that He would move the process forward at the best time possible. Please pray for the spiritual battles here at CVE as well... praising God for His provision and protection and asking Him to continue to reveal, in His time, the paths He desires for each child here!

Steph,
I love seeing the pictures! I noticed there were no pictures of you and your baby... : )
So the girls tell me it's a boy! How fun!
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Hope Candi got her gift from Kaleigh!

Me gusta tu fotos. :) Thanks for the update. I'm glad my niece and nephews like to play in the dirt. I hope they make plenty of mud pies and eat them. You should help them do a science experiment with making a huge mud volcano and the peroxide/baking soda mixture. :) I would be so proud. In fact, maybe over Christmas I can do that with them!!! ;)

So this is definitely showing my lack of knowledge about anything pregnant...but why prune's? and...is the vaseline for stretching skin in your abdomin area?

Ahem... for delicacy, I'll respond through e-mail, dear sister! :)
