OUR SWEET LITTLE MAN

Isaac my boy. He is a sweetheart. He makes us laugh all the time and also gets in trouble all the time. He is the baby in the family but soon to be 3 years all. I am so excited that he is half potty trained. He wears his underwears most of the time. I just need to work on number 2, hopefully it won't take that long. Here are his best shots.

ALMOST 10 YEARS 2014

It has been almost 2 years that I have not written anything in the blog. We are just so busy; with 2 little girls in school, one in 1st grade and the other one in Kindergarten. In addition to that, we are busy at church too. I have started a Women Bible Study, eventhough we meet only once a month, I try to keep up with everyone. Frank does not have time to keep up with blog at all. The only left time he has is for little Isaac. He loves to play with his daddy. However, this year 2014 we have been blessed; my mother in law moved to live close to us. It has been wonderful so far. It is nice to have a break from the kids from time to time. This past weekend, Frank and I had a nice getaway to the beach.

CHRISTMAS 2012 IN OUR HOME - II

Sara G., is really good at drawing.

Ingrid has improved a lot too.

Opening their gifts from Papa and Nana.

This year Sara and Ingrid got the New Generation Doll (cheaper version of the American Girl doll by Target) from grandma Marie. I think they were ready for dolls, they are loving those dolls. They have been playing with them all day, they slept with their dolls on Christmas Eve, since we let them open theat special gift from grandma the night before Christmas. Isaac is loving his First Train Set we got him from Zulily.com. This website has really good toys for children.  Also, they are loving their mini gator, they ride it everyday. Thank you to the grandparents for the gifts, they made a good choice.

CHRISTMAS 2012 IN OUR HOME

First of all, Praise God for Jesus that we can celebrate another Christmas with our children.  Jesus is the reason of this celebration, otherwise there would not be Christmas in this world.  I Praise God and give thanks for my husband and for the new ministry where we are. He is a hard working man, husband, and dad and he try to give the best to his family. I pray the Lord to renew his strength and protect him everyday. We love you daddy.  Our children had a beautiful Christmas and today December 25th, our girls learned how to ride their  bikes with no training wheels, yay!!! Daddy decided that today was the day to teach them and they learned at the first try.  We are very proud of them!  These are memories we will never forget.

Este es uno de los puentes que tenemos que cruzar para ir a la playa, no me gusta para nada por que solo ves agua debajo. Cruzamos como 3 de estos puentes.

Sara, Ingrid & Isaac - June 2012

NEW FRIENDS

The people from Warwick B.C., are very friendly and loving. Some of our new friends are Joy and Dennis Chappel. Joy like her name, is a joyful person, very sweet. She loves my kids and everytime she has some free time love to babysit my girls, so that I can have a break, or have things done at home. I really thank the Lord for her friendship. In the other hand, Dennis, Joy's husband is a nice guy who loves to help Frank in any project that he is working on. We really value their sweet friendship.

EDENTON, NC

Living here in Hobbsville, we are very close to different small country towns and also very close to Virginia. Edenton, is a very old town, with a beautiful waterfront and old buildings. The first time we visit there was a family day in downtown and we had to ride the boat for free. We really love to ride in the van and visit new places we have never been. Giovanna

Life in Eastern North Carolina

We now live in Chowan County, about an hour and a half from Nags Head. We visited the beach there recently and had a wonderful time. It was nice to leave at 10am and be on the beach having a picnic at noon, then returning home a few hours later. Our new home is so nice and our new church family is so caring. I have been spending alot of time driving the roads with the church directory in my hand trying to locate people and learn about life here. I have gotten lost a few times, but it was fun asking directions and learning the country side. I can see how God has prepared me for this particular place: growing up in a rural area working on a farm, studying cross-culture relationship building in seminary, and learning how to relate to people and live in biblical community from various mentors. Giovanna and I are having to adjust to a slower pace of life and a longer distance to travel to get to stores. She misses her close friends at Open Door and the SEBTS community. The girls miss their friends in Wake Forest but they have been learning to play together more and are growing closer in the process. Isaac is loving having a big house to run through and play and they all love their new playground set. I am excited for what God is doing in our lives and His grace continues to amaze me. -frank
