When Jordan and I were playing with her dollhouse this afternoon, she made the Mom ask the Daughter if she wanted a snack. “Sure,” I made the little girl reply, “What kind of snack do we have?” Jordan answered for the Mom, “Pizza – chicken pizza – with cotton candy and macaroni and cheese. How would you like that?” When I said that it sounded like kind of weird food, she quickly responded, “It’s ancient China food.”

We returned to Costa Rica on Thursday of last week and were welcomed by the customary, though heavier than normal, rains. The photos below were taken on the way home from church within an hour of the start of the rains. Notice that the moto's front tire (21" diameter!) is completely submerged as he tried to walk/ride it through the impromptu lake.
The month of August had us in the States for the last three weeks. We were there to visit with 4 churches (see photo below) and various supporters as well as to welcome Meghan home from her summer in South Africa. We had a whole 48 hours with her before taking her back to Chicago and helping her to get settled into her dorm room. (Speaking of which, Henry got to carry a love seat up three flights of narrow stairs all by himself! )
The time was also spent "power wedding shopping" as we helped Meghan to find and book the venue for the wedding and reception, find a caterer, AND find "the dress" and all of the assorted goodies that go along with it! We had to go back to Costa Rica to rest!!
Here's a clip of Jordan "swimming" around the house with her new snorkle gear.
Sent to me by a friend. Funny!
Five things you don't want to hear from Tech Support:
1. "Duuuuuude! Bummer!"
2. "In layman's terms, we call that the Hindenburg Effect."
3. "Your problem can be fixed, but you're going to need a butter knife, a roll of duct tape and a car battery."
4. "Press 1 for Support.
Press 2 if you're with ‘60 minutes.'
Press 3 if you're with the FTC."
5. "Hold on a second, please ... Mom! Timmy's hitting me!"
When Grandma treated us to gelato during her visit in March, Jordan chose mint. Can you tell?
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Eight percent of Russians believe their national team will win the World Cup, despite the fact that it never qualified for the tournament, an independent poll has showed.
A few minutes ago, a ruckus was heard outside the office. When we checked it out, we found a bus on fire almost right outside! Nothing major and no injuries.
Too long ago, I apologized for not updating the site with some recent photos. Below is a slide show of a smattering of photos since the beginning of the year.
Although I've been meaning to upload some more photos from Christmas and our little bit of vacation time, I haven't. Sorry about that. And... I also realized a few minutes ago (how?, why?) that I hadn't uploaded the last few versions of our newsletter. While I've corrected the latter issue (see the box on the right), I still haven't gotten you any fresh pictures. I'll try to get that corrected.
