TITUS-11
A couple of weeks ago Titus had a major project due in school, he had to research 32 inventions, find the inventor and the date it was invented, write a description about them, & draw a picture of each one. (IN SPANISH DON'T FORGET!!) We were proud of his work... then he came home and he had the second best grade in the whole class. Yeah we were thrilled. Titus likes school and enjoys the friends he has there.
Isaac-8
Isaac likes school, and he does well. He came home the other day and told us that he won the prize for finishing all his work the fastest. He loves a challenge. Both Titus & Isaac are learning to use a Cayuco(wooden canoe). They borrow our gardeners as much as they can. Titus stands in the back and rows while Isaac sits in the front and rows. They have been into town and back a couple of times but usually I just like them to stay close.
Chloe Ann-6
Chloe Ann is our social butterfly and really enjoys her friends at school. She is learning to read and wrtie. Her favorite thing to do is write words down as I say them to her, she usually has a Spanish list and an English list so I can call out both and she will spell it and put it in the right list.
She reminds me of 'me' always ready to have a good time :)
Naomi-2
Naomi is our little laugher. She loves to laugh and has this deep belly laugh that is very contageous. Last week she woke up and said "no please diaper' I said OK but you cannot go on my floor...well she didn't!!!! And up until yesterday had not had an accident. She was running for the bathroom and just didn't make it. Happens to the best of us :) She loves to wear her corte(the typical dress here), When we go to Market the ladies all ask me if I will give her to them.. Naomis says 'no Gracias' and frowns at them.

What a great post Daph! I love hearing all about the kids. Please tell Chloe Ann that we haven't forgotten about her photo key chain! It took me forever to send and when I did, it came back to me because I had addressed it incorrectly! Please tell her I'm so sorry! I'll get it back in the mail asap. Oh, and where are those boys' life jackets??? It's against the law here, so let's not forget your roots!! I would hate for them to fall in and fight to stay afloat all the while fighting off one of those giant scorpians I hear about over there. Or whatever MUST be lurking in that water! lol. I'm kidding.
I loved seeing this update. Your kids are beautiful! I don't think we give kids enough credit for the part they play in ministry. Take care.
Daphne, that was such a sweet post! I loved hearing about all their personalities :)
and GO NAOMI!!! That is awesome!
Too cute!!! I can just see Naomi in the market saying "no, gracias" and those little ladies just giggling. :)
Wow , the kids have grown so much. I have been thinking of ya'll this week and how you can tell ya'll are God ordained missionaries just by the way living there seems so natural for ya'll and even though I know you have tough times it is just so awesome to watch ya'll there. Just like throwing the kids right in a spanish school like yall did. Its so funny but so awesome how natural ya'll are at that. that takes something special.
Love ya'll.
