quick pictures!

Hey - I haven't kept up with my end of the bargain in updating the blog, I know. I have a ton of pictures to upload, and about 5 minutes to do it in. Some of the pictures are from Scott's birthday last week. We celebrated with homemade apple pie (I did pretty good, if I say so myself) and we bought him a new Guatemala soccer jersey, and tickets to the Guatemala/USA soccer game on Aug. 20. Elijah went with him to the game, and is sporting his new jersey as well.


Green faces - Sydney and Elijah "painted" their faces with green marker the day of the soccer game. It was a dry erase marker, so we scrubbed as much as we could, and then had to wait about 24 hours for the rest to wear off. Sydney looked like a little martian. It was a parenting moment when you know you shouldn't laugh, but you just can't help yourself. Since we laughed (after being upset for about 10 minutes) I expect to see marker on both of their faces in the near future.


What i want to be when I grow up - Sydney and Elijah went to school last friday dressed as what they want to be. sydney wants to be a painter (for now) and elijah a police officer. The funny part for Elijah - he was all dressed, and as he was coming down the stairs he said "Mom, if I'm a police man, where is my mustache?" - I laughed and told him we could make a mustache - so check out his upper lip. Apparently all police officers in his life have a mustache. (I just realized I haven't transferred these pictures to my computer. they will come shortly.)

Lastly - please pray for us. We have 4 weeks left in Guate. Emotions are starting to run high as goodbye are being said and stuff is being sold. We also have TONS of work starting us in the face everyday. I'll have to send you a picture of what our house looks like soon - we've sold almost everywhere that we have to sit. We are down to the Chiefs chair & 2 foldable garden chairs. It's kinda sad, but at least we've recouped some of our money on the stuff before we leave... :)
