While there, we celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary! Wow, seems like just yesterday we both had totally different hair styles and we were planning our big day! The Lord has been too good to us, and we thank Him for sustaining us. 
George, the butterfly whisperer. He had them fluttering all over him!
Riding around on public transit in the south of Brazil. Always a fun time, huh George?
Finn enjoying one of the various views of the Falls. It was breathtaking to see the creativity and mighty power of the Lord up close.
It matched my outfit, so I had to put it on.
July brought some special visitors our way. Tim's folks came down and spent some good, quality time seeing our home, ministry and the city. Oh yeah, and they enjoyed their grandsons too!
Finn turned four, and it was great to have family to celebrate with!
Enjoying a genuine Brazilian BBQ---more chicken hearts anyone?
July is the hottest part of the year. We tried to beat the heat with fresh coconut water.
We found out that we are having a GIRL!!!! We hear big changes are in store for us. 
Our friend Nick came down for a visit too. He brought our baby car seat down, and spent some time exploring the area. It was great to catch up with him as he begins his year-long world journey.
Some students bring their teachers apples, pictures or cute cards. Tim's students bring him bird-eating tarantulas, boa constrictors and mighty cockroaches. 
Here I am at six months along. All is well with the baby and I. Only fifteen weeks left.
School started back up in early August. Tim began his third year of teaching, George is in 2nd grade and Finn started his school career in the Kindergarten 4 class. All is going smoothly thus far! 
We got to know the new 9/10th grade class over ice cream sundaes. Yes, that is Tabasco as one of the toppings.
Here's to a new school year! We know we will see the Lord at work in the lives of our family, students and staff here at Amazon Valley Academy.

Great pictures and memories...not so sure about the boa there, Jill...wow! You are so perfect for Timothy!!! Who could have planned that but God??? Love you all!!!
Awesome, awesome! Wow, and congrats (and what fun news to hear!!!) that you are having a girl!! :) Yeah! It is incredible to parent both - and at least in our case, it has been amazing how different raising boys are from raising a daughter. I can only imagine that girl of yours is going to be incredibly confident & adventurous! :) LOVE all the updates & pics you shared.. wow, and those falls look unreal! Glad you are doing well & feeling well --- in our thoughts & prayers! :)
We love hearing and seeing the experiences you are having. The Lord bless you and your growing family! You all are a KICK! Sorry we weren't able to get to see you in Brasil. Totally understand! Have a good school year, Tim! Wow, has it already been 3 years! Hope things are getting easier! I start back this next week with a few meetings. Congratulations on your GIRL! Fun! Keeping you in our prayers for all the Lord has in store!
You are one chica loco. And thats why we love you! ;) The boys are growing up so much, and we are so excited about the girl you've got cookin'! You look great, Jill. Keep the blog posts coming, it's so neat to see what you're all up to down there. ♥
Hey, I think I was at your wedding. Was it really nine years ago? You haven't changed a bit! LOL!
