A Miracle Visit!

Lots of people ask us if we've seen any miracles happen while living here. The answer to that is YES!!!! Recently, L's mom came to visit and see us (and her grand babies of course!) If you know L's mom and her thoughts about this place and HEAT, you'd know that her coming is nothing short of a miracle! We were beyond blessed to have her here and we are looking forward to her next visit... ;)

{E was excited to explore with Mimi!}

{Mimi is LOTS of fun!}

{JH gives Mimi the MOST sweet smiles!}

 {Mimi decided to let E help her water the grass, and the plants, and the bucket, and himself...}

 {JH loves his Mimi SO much that his little toes curl under!}

{She hated wearing the clothes, esp in the heat, but she sure looked GOOD in them!}

{Visiting one my best friends & her family}

{Taking on the heat like a CHAMP! We had no power, no backup, and it was HOT!}

Sweet Family Moments!

G0d blessed L's labor & delivery SO much that we were checked into the hospital around 8am and were back home by 8pm the same night. Here are a few pics of little and "big" brother's first meeting and a couple others from life back in our city!!  :)  The boys are precious together and we can already see their love for each other. They are growing SO fast and we are adjusting to our new "normal". Definitely not easy, but it is WONDERFUL!!

Welcome Little Guy!

Here's a few pics of our newest blessing. He is SO sweet and SO different than our first. We love him too much! Enjoy!

Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said: “I am

‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Make straight the way of the Lord,”’

as the prophet Isaiah said.” 24 Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”.......... 

Mark 1: 7 & 8- "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

More Fun Firsts!! :)

Our world has been changing drastically and quickly lately. Since we're in the Capital waiting for baby #2, we've had time to go on our first date since being back and have had the opportunity to let E enjoy some "typical" toddler fun things.... like playgrounds and parks. Hope you enjoy the pics below and they give you a glimpse of our life here!
