Our Weekend

We were very excited about getting to see our good friends, the Stoudenmire's, over the weekend.  They have been in Guatemala for two weeks hosting volunteer teams and were getting ready to fly back to the States when we visited with them in Guatemala City.  We always enjoy getting to see them even if it's for a short time.  In addition to a few teething toys, Laurelle made Cruz this beautiful quilt.

 He loves the bright colors 

In addition to liking the colors of the blanket, he thought it tasted pretty good too, ha.  Everything goes in his mouth these days! 

We also got to visit with Mrs. Louise and Mr. Douglas again.  We first met them when they came down with the Stoudenmire's back in August.  Click HERE to read about that weekend visit.

They brought Cruz (and me) this Babycook machine.  I can't wait to use it!  I'll be making all of Cruz's babyfood from scratch so this is going to be a big help to me.  It was very sweet of them!

Jeffrey, Allen, Jimmy, and Laurelle

Allen and Laurelle were very happy to have their two sons on the team with them.  We met Jeffery when we visited them at their home back in February.  It was the first time to meet Jimmy.

We love them and have since the first day we met.  We can't wait for them to come back down soon to visit again!

After joining them all for breakfast on Saturday morning we traveled back to Coban.  We spent the afternoon washing and packing.  We drove on to Sayaxche' earlier today to begin moving in and fixing up our new home.  We'll have several loads to move from Coban, but will do them a little at a time.  We start painting tomorrow.  We'll post photos and updates of our progress soon.
