Hey Everyone!! I hope you are all having a Blessed Day and being a blessing to all those around you!! Here are a few pics. I am so behind on pictures... I think I even have to add Christmas pics now. Enjoy!!!
This was Christmas with the Mejia's... My other family. My father-in-law is the one farthest right. He is so much fun. My mother-in-law is standing to the right of my tall brother-in-law. We had a lot of fun although it just isn't like being in the States. ( although I WAS home for Christmas!!! ) Yup, this is home now!!
Excuse my fat cheeks. I was eating and they gave me no warning.lol. That's my sister-in-law,Magdali, with Briana. They thought Briana would get sick because she ate so much that night. She is such a good eater!!!
This is my other sister-in-law Margaret. They are both like sisters to me. I love them so much!
Magdali and I trying to pose for a pic. with Briana kissing me. She just melts my heart!!!
and of course I have to show Briana opening some gifts. This is from grandma Myer. It is a Zoo Train. Briana loves taking it apart!
Grandma Mejia gave a beautiful pair of white sandals that Briana is trying desperately to grow into. I figure that is why she eats so much. lol : )
It was so much fun to have my aunt Miriam Hade and my mom here in Jan.!!! I loved every minute of there visit. It was great to get to know my aunt more personally. I should have taken more pics!!! Briana has been walking for 3 weeks now without any help and she is also learning to use here training seat that sits on the toilet. I AM SO PROUD OF HER!!!
We also enjoyed a visit from Sheldon and Krista Huber in the end of Jan. We had so much fun taking them all over the place. It was almost like I was sight seeing too. I told Krista that it felt like vacation to me. It was too bad that it rained at the beach.
The last time Loren went to the river to wash the truck, Lenny, the neighbor girl, and I took Briana to play. She sat there and banged to rocks together the whole time. She wasn't really into swimming!
This was an unpleasant surprise. I was working outside and since Briana walks alone, I let her play outside while I work. Look where I found her. lol. I let her play and have fun but I did have some cleaning up to do with her when she was done. It was an early bath that day.
Well, that all the pics. I had time to upload. I hope you enjoyed them. In other news....
I am still taking pills for my heart and waiting to see if they take care of the problem. In the meantime they sure make me more comfortable.
Loren built a fence around my house so no the cows won't be eating my flowers. I am very excited about making it pretty now. I have already done some planting. Down here we have flowers all year around. Aren't you jealous? lol
There is now a Dominician guy from our church dating/courting and American girl who was a missionary down here. I am very excited about that. It will be fun to have another cross cultural marriage down here.
Thanks for your prayers for our church and keep praying. I feel that God is moving!!! Please pray for the marriages when you pray. ( God will understand why)
Wow, I am sure there is much more that could be said but I am having a brain freeze and want to go hang out on facebook! God Bless and be sure to Bless God!!! Alicia Mejia
