Aidan's 7th Birthday




Hard to believe our 'little' boy has turned 7 this month! We had a great party with friends from Aidan's first grade class as well as some missionary 'cousins' as we say on the field. Aidan decided on a Chicken Little theme - thanks to a friend, Alicia, he had an adorable cake! Favorite presents included a ninja wrist beetle that shoots discs and the game Colocho (Twister). We played games in the garage and after the actual party was over, several ninjas, power rangers, and other super heroes enjoyed our backyard!

Abby decides to do her own hair!

The weather here during the dry season is very beautiful. Every day is sunny, sometimes with a nice breeze, usually somewhere in the low 80's. Since we couldn't find a sprinkler, we made due with a hose. Below, Aidan and Abby have their 'force fields' on (arms crossed) so that Daddy could not spray them. Then Aidan decided to take a turn, until he squirted Mom and Olivia and subsequently lost his privileges with the hose! It was great exercise and everyone slept good that night, including Olivia!

Hi David!! I don't know if you remember me.... Brian's sister, Cynthia. I just happened to find your blog. Your kids are adorable. I have 2 girls now, ages 8 and 10, named Hannah and Natalie. I am finally finishing my nursing degree! Clinicals have been interesting. It has been very busy. Jon had to take a job out of state for financial reasons until I am done with my degree. It is quite an adjustment. I read your whole blog. Sounds like you and your wife keep very busy. How long have you been in Costa Rica? I will keep up on your family and your ministry now. It was quite a suprise to find you. I would love to hear from you if you ever have time. I must go now though....2 girlies are not listening and Med-Surg books are calling my name!

Hey, thanks for the update. Just keep those pictures coming. Abuelos (don't know if it's spelled right) really love seeing them. We're looking forward to our trip down there in a few weeks so we can not only see, but hug and kiss them, too.

Love you,
Grandma
