Hanging out with Naomi.

Adeline and Bethany took Naomi on a tour of our neighborhood. The kids call this the marshmallow house.

Naomi with Silas and behind them is the old entrance to the city of Colonia del Sacramento, complete with a drawbridge and dry moat.

At church, this is Melissa, one of Kaitlin's friends, with Naomi.

These guys are waiting for their birthday presents from Naomi. They got all kinds of goodies. As I write Adeline is enjoying her learn to draw DVD and she's quite the artist.

Silas loved Naomi! Inevitably he ended up like this - zonked out on her shoulder. He misses you, Naomi, we can't get him to sleep like you did.

Adeline enjoys reading to Silas. She takes him to her room, lays him on her bed and reads to him. He loves his story time with her.

Me and Naomi on the lighthouse.

Ready to do some sliding. The last time we toured the old city, with Pastor Wagner, the kids discovered that this hill is great fun to slide on. So when we went through with Naomi they could hardly contain themselves and wait for this picture session to be over with. As for me I can't look while they slide. What you can't see it the nearly verticle angle on the hill. No thanks!

Naomi is HERE!!!

WooHoo!!! I guess you can figure out how excited we are about our friend Naomi coming to Uruguay for a visit. She'll be here for 10 days, and we're praying time c...r...a...w...l...s!

She brought lots of goodies with her. I have corn flour to make corn tortillas and our favorite mexican hotsauce - Chalula. We all enjoyed pop tarts this morning and microwave popcorn last night.

The kids now have a real rope swing, which I'm glad for because it worried me when they put the rope over their heads to be able to sit in the rope to swing.

I should have thought to take a picture of everything Naomi brought down with her. But it might just make your mouths water. We would like to give a special thanks to the anonymous individual who bought and sent the HUGE care package with Naomi.

A super BIG thanks goes to Emmanuel Baptist's Sigma team - Nu Delta for the BIG ball they sent to us for use in the ministry here. We can hardly wait to play BIG ball bowling and BIG ball volleyball...and we'll definitely get some pictures. Oh yeah, Nu Delta, you can count your project now. :-)

Well, I'd love to blog some more but I have to find tests to score, and make some pizza dough for lunch and teach Nehemiah school. I'll update you on our immigration status later.
