The new favorite toy--a latanga fruit
Some tiny seedling on our clothesline

Sorry about the formatting of this entry, we're a little rushed these days.
Quote of the day: "George, get back in that hammock, they'll be time to catch lizards after your quiet time!"

Great pic's!! I am now expecting to see REGULAR updates!! I get teary eyed seeing you guys, but love that you looks so happy to be there!! Love you all!
It's so cool to catch a glimpse of your new life in Brazil. I can't imagine all the changes and what the Lord has for you in this new place of ministry. "Sweat" for us here in the northwest...we can't seem to get going with spring. some snow again this morning...but now sun! love you guys!
Super pictures! Loved them all. Tell George not to eat the lizards, they don't taste good.
Nice crates! So sorry about your stone, though, bummer. You'll get creative and figure out something though.
Blessings! Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Great Pictures! Glad you guys are all save! Looks warm (nice), might have to visit. lol
we love all the pictures! glad that you didn't have too many casualties with your stuff making the long journey! can't wait to see more of what you guys are up to!
No way! You guys finally made it! Ahhh, I will be checking your blog frequently... I am so stoked for you guys! Ken & I were just out on a walk with the kids the other day and wondering if you'd gotten your visas yet. Now we know, not only did you get 'em, you're already moved! WOW. What a calling. What an experience of a lifetime too. Now that you're a week into things so far and possibly having unpacked the last tote, what do you think about your new life in the jungle? :) Our prayers and thoughts are with you guys.... ~Ken, Katie, Jack & Maggie
Great update....Thanks for the news
You guys look cute with short hair too!!
Thanks for the update. You know....you may be in a completely different country but your boys and their antics remind me of the great times we
had with ours a few years back. It is a wonderful time of life. Enjoy it... and I know you are... it will go so fast. Fortunately, the later years are great, too.

Jill and Tim,
One more thing. Looks like it might be a good time to get started on the proverbial "bug collection".
