Growing up fast
It is hard to believe our sweet little Abigail is 5 months old today! As I set up my "studio" to take pictures of Abi, I decided to take pictures of all the kids. It is incredible how fast the kids are growing, I always heard that when I was young but you never really know how fast kiddos grow until they are almost grown. Titus is 13, Isaac is 11, Chloe Ann is 9 and Naomi is 4.
Abi has been rolling over for a couple weeks now, she loves to smile and laugh and especially catch your attention. She has just started to cough or squeal to get our attention. She continues to be a good baby and is very happy all the time.

Happy Birthday Isaac
Wednesday, June 16, 2010
The boys new hobby...
Titus & Isaac have learned to dive down and catch the fresh water crabs that we have here in the lake. They have to swim along side the shore until they see one then dive down and catch it with their hands. Sometimes...well, a lot of times they come home with crab claw bites all on their hands...Titus says "thats just part of catching crabs!!"
Once they catch them they tie them up with the reeds that grow in the edge of the lake. This is how you buy them in the Market, tied up like this.
This is Alejandro, he (his brothers and cousins and friends) and my boys go out everyday around 1:30. Sometimes there are 8 boys swimming around looking for crabs. They take turns taking the crabs home to eat or to Market to sell.
They have some pretty big ones, they try not to catch the little ones, they are saving them for later!!
When it was Titus turn to take the crabs he decided he wanted to cook them for dinner. He cooked them all by himself, Now doesn't this look good? It was delicious...

On Isaac's Birthday we decided to spend the day in Panajachel, It was a great day for a boat ride. Here we are in our front yard waiting for the boat to pick us up.
Here we are eating Lunch at Isaac's favorite place...Guajimbos!
We were being serenaded by some street singers.

Happy Birthday Isaac!!!
We let Isaac choose where he wanted to eat lunch, he chose Tacos!!! They were yummy!! I was too busy eating to take a picture. 
Isaac has been eyeing a new knife for some time now. So we said we would let him pick it out. He had fun trying to find just the right one, decisions.. decisions.
Then we went out for ICE CREAM!!!! Isaac has really enjoyed the ice cream here in Guatemala. He has always been allergic to dairy, but here they have ice cream that is water based. And it is delicious. I told him that ice cream was as big as he was!! (he just grinned)
It was a good day for ALL of us.
Isaac said he did not want a Birthday cake he wanted a "cinnamon flat" (not to be mistaken for a cinnamon roll because it's FLAT!!)
Well here we are singing to Isaac in the dark because we had no power last night, but it was a fun time...
What I like to do for each child that has a birthday is explain what was going on the day of their birth and how all the family came to see them. I told Isaac, "the day he was born was the scariest day of my life". Titus said that sounds mean if you don't know what happened..LOL
Isaac is our little laughter, when he was born we did not know how long the Lord would let us have him. I Praise God for His faithfulness, and giving us Isaac. Our little Isaac is such a joy, and we savor every minute with him. He keeps us laughing all the time. I don't know how he lives up to his name soo well.
I love you buddy and thank God for you.

My Kiddos...
So many times I step back and look at my kids in amazement. I know every parent does but we have really pulled our kids out of their comfort zone and they have done extremely well. I praise God for his faithfulness to our family, when we are so far away from everything we know.
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.
