At dinner the other night, Chris and I were discussing what the doctor said at Jonathan's 2 year well visit. By the way, he is doing well. He is average weight and average height but he head is slightly big, but nowhere near the size of Andrew's noggin. I told Chris that he is officially no longer considered speech delayed. He is just fine and talks none stop. This is the rest of the conversation:
Me: He also said that we shouldn't be feeding him peanut butter and choking foods.
Chris: Really, no peanut butter? Why?
Me: I guess it has something to do with getting or developing peanut allergies.
Chris: Peanut allergies?
Andrew: Yeah, and then we would have to give him a Zyrtec everyday.
I think we might reconsider the amount of time our child is watching TV.

What Did We Do....
We just got back from Nicaragua on Saturday. It was an amazing trip and what everyone asks me is, "What did you do down there?"
We went down to Nicaragua with a ministry called, Because We Care Ministries, led by Donald and Pam Gillette. They have been doing this for 9 years and are loved in their town of Somotillo, and the surrounding villages. Their main goal is to met their physical needs and share the gospel and disciple the pastors of the villages. On this trip, Chris and Rob Stephens, taught at a pastor's conference and I did a make shift VBS. I didn't know until I was sitting in the chairs at the conference that I was going to be doing a VBS. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of the things we did as well:
Shared the gospel in the villages.
Make shift VBS during the pastor's conference.
Played with the kids in the villages.
Handed out medicine to the babies and the mommies.
Handed out rice and beans to the families.

Faces from Nicaragua
Here are some of the beautiful faces from Nicaragua. Donald G., the man in charge of Because We Care Ministries, tells us that that we help them take off their "Nica" look for just a moment. It is true. I loved to just takes pictures of their faces, besides being gorgeous, their eyes told so many stories. Plus, they loved to see their pictures on the digital camera.
Enjoying some sandia. The juice is running down his tummy.
I think she likes it.
This is Henry. His home life is a sad story so he likes to hang out at the Casa as much as possible. He understands lots of English but doesn't say much in English. He is super smart.
This was the last village we went to and by far the saddest. I truly can't explain why because my words fail me. I just knew that this village needed God and all His wisdom.
Her face was just so sweet I had to take a picture.
She and her sister (not pictured) had such a unique look. Simply gorgeous.
