I'll try to put pictures on tonight--
Had a pancake breakfast this morning w/ new friends, Paula and Emma. Paula came almost 5 years ago on a mission trip and has stayed as she is in process of adopting Emma. She has a very difficult case (Emma has been classified as abandoned which is a whole different ballgame) and currently lives at childrens' home outside Antigua with several hundred other children and some staff. I met Paula through another friend, Paula Voss, from Lakeland Church in Lee's Summit. I am meeting them again this afternoon to play and learn more about their situation. With the recent surge of Guatemalan adoptions in our church and area, I think it could be great opportunity for us to do a mission trip here in the future.
On a very different note, the daily conversation change I've had has been interesting. A month ago it was eye fatigue/pain/blur... where we discuss frequency, onset, relief, duration, location, etc. Now, living w/ 3 moms and 5 kids it's poop frequency, onset, relief, duration, consistency, composition, etc!! What a change a month can make! :-)
March will be busy--yeah!!--as Todd and Nicole Harris are coming to visit their little Paolo, Emily Armstrong is moving down to foster Samuel and be our new housemate :-) Pat and friends are coming down and we're taking a roadtrip :-), and the Embrey's are coming the 1st of April to see their girls and celebrate a birthday!
Most importantly we get to be part of celebrating our Risen Christ! God is so good!

I'm so happy for you and Emily! How wonderful that you're going to have so many visitors! AND I envy you and your soon to be "Good Friday" experience in Guatemala! I'm sure it will be exceptional!

Sounds like a busy month, but one filled with excitement and seeing familiar faces! We really enjoy the updates and seeing the happy pictures of you and Erick. I like the pictures of Erick where he is obviously studying whatever is in his hands. You can see the wheels turning. Must be one smart kid!
Having lunch with the family tomorrow for March b-days. We will miss your presence, but will be thinking and talking about you.
Love, Stacy
We can't wait to see the both of you this coming Saturday. How cool will it be to get the boys together for the very first time. Todd & Nicole : )
Thinking of you!
