The Lord has blessed us with another family trip to Argentina this year, and for a total of three weeks. Adriel worked two of those weeks, but took a vacation the third week. My work stayed the same. I went from being a mother of two in the states to being a mother of two [...]

I’m embarrassed to even write this blog because of how late it is…how long ago was Easter? But, the pictures are too precious for me not to post. This year we got to enjoy telling Eliana about Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection three days later through the resurrection eggs. It was so great [...]

We have been enjoying lots of visitors this past month. Brian and Kristen and their family,  John and Jen, Nick and Jill, the Wolheters, and my mom and niece, Lydia all have stayed with us in about a 3 week time span. It helped our month fly by, even while Noelia screamed, and served as [...]

Oliver is our sweet new nephew. We took a weekend to go visit our family and meet Oliver in Indiana, but as so often happens in our family, our kids could not mingle due unwelcomed germs. All three of Maria’s kids were or had been sick, so we had to keep our distance to avoid our [...]

When Noelia turned 3 months, we promptly looked into getting her ears pierced. And we’ll let the pictures tell the story… En cuanto Noelia cumplió 3 meses, nos pusimos en campaña para ponerle los aritos. Así que vamos a dejar que las fotos cuenten la historia… But, despite how sorry you may feel for her, [...]
