Life Lately May 2025

 I am way behind on updating my blog!  I will try to get caught up over the next several days.

We began the month of May saying goodbye to Gary and Lily Stone.  They began their final furlough before officially retiring later this year.  They will be missed!

supper with the Stones 
 
I had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration! 
 
We wrapped up 7th and 9th grade and began our summer break.  
 
We took an AMAZING family vacation to Colorado.  While there we visited the four national parks. It was the best family trip we have ever made!  I wrote several posts about the trip that you can see further down on the blog. There are way too many to link!
 
 
  
Ben spent a Saturday morning playing tennis and swimming with his friend Josue. 
 
On another day they made a visit to the local arcade. 
 
We attended a play at the Christian Academy of Guatemala in San Cristobal. 
 
Ben's friend, Kingston, was in the play. 

We had a wonderful time catching up with an old friend over lunch one day.  Keturah and her family served many years in Guatemala, and we lived near them for a short season in Sayaxche.  It is in the Peten Department of northern Guatemala.  They were back with a team doing some ministry, and we got to see her while she was in Antigua.

I took my computer to a local coffee shop one afternoon to catch up on work reports and training courses. Sometimes a change of scenery helps make me more productive.  Iced coffee and dessert helps too. 
 
David and I enjoyed a Wednesday night date while the boys were at youth group.  In addition to eating, we made a stop by a local hardware store to pick out a new toilet.  I took this photo and sent it to a friend as a joke that this was a new first for us.  

On another day, I enjoyed a coffee and dessert date with Cruz. Getting to have those moments with him have been special.   
 
On one of my afternoon walks, I passed by a coffee farm and noticed the plants in full bloom.  
 
They produce the prettiest white flowers with an amazing sweet smell.
 
Next, I'll share photos from the month of June.  It was a busy one!
