Visitors!

Yes! we had visitors,John and Kate Lapp family came on June 4th for a week! So here are a few pictures of what went on that week!

They kept fussing over how they felt like they barely brought anything along for us!!but just look at the table! there was like a whole suitcase full of stuff for us!!They didn't have anything to worry about! 

It's always fun to recognize your sisters handwriting on an envelope for you!:) 

The boys started trying to climb the coco trees as soon as they got here!

A lot of visiting was done between the parents especially!

The boys were fascinated with Jumbi and Jumbi just as much with them!

Jeremiah so badly wanted to touch him,but Jumbi doesn't trust new people easily so the first days he'd feed him pieces of tortilla from a stick! And dear Jumbi(for those of you who know him) would sit there and laugh!

Kendrick enjoyed playing football with boys that actually knew how to play and he dint have to teach!

 That weekend,we went to Suchitoto a touristic old town where my dad used to work as a police, guarding and protecting it from the guerillas in surrounding areas! 

On the way we picked up Samuel Stoltzfus at CICS,since he also knows the Lapp's, and ate at the restaurant: El Tejado, our family's personal favorite!:)

they have a very nice view of the lake

Sadly I don't have the group picture we took with our food.

Only of Jeremiah. this little kid was so funny! They gave him a glass to pour his soda into, but since it didn't all fit he decided that what was in the glass was to drink with his meal and what was in the can was to drink while we waited on the meal!! lol ;)

 

Trying to get a family picture of them!

We had a lot of fun with them even though the same week they were here Susanna was getting ready to leave to the USA for two months to help my second to oldest sister,Sandra and her husband, as they are expecting their first baby next month!! (yay!!)  Susanna left the day before they left! Here My brother and I quickly snapped a couple pics before she left! it was her first time flying alone,so she was nervous,but with that big smile of hers I knew shed be fine!;)

blurry,because we were laughing so hard at the man behind us who was just standing there watching us try to take a selfie and we were waiting till he kept walking so he wouldn't be in the pic!lol

I miss her a lot!!! But am so glad she had this opportunity,since last year I had mine with my other Sister,Vanessa!

Alright,I should go! have a great week everybody!

3 weeks at CICS

I'm back!

I know you're all like, finally!  Sorry.

My Family was asked to go to Aguilares to take the place of the administrator of the deaf school for 3 weeks! While there, we didn't have good internet. Therefore,it's been a while since I updated here! But here are several pics,for those interested, of our time at CICS.

Our family was staying on the second story of the main building,and I really liked it! We could see strait out to the school.

We were able to watch men out in this field planting and then watch the "milpa"(corn) grow.

Then also the great Guazapa Maountain!

Other than just enjoying the scenery, 

Kendrick had so much fun having other boys his age to play with! Him and Carlos always hit it off really well,and both are such little monkeys! The day we got there they started making this zip-line!

It's crazy how well they understood each other and communicated,even though the one is deaf the other hearing!

Once they had it all tied up,they had to try it out! It worked,

and the next day after lunch some of the other deaf girls wanted to try it out! So Carlitos would help them get on and as they screamed and kicked Carlitos would just laugh!

Kendrick would always go down and play with the kids at break time! I did every once in a while too.

Kendrick got this notion to bake one afternoon so he went down and started getting Veronica,the cook, to help him find the necessary ingredients to make cupcakes!

As you can tell he was the one with less shame and got along pretty well around there, Susanna and I would mostly stay upstairs, one of the reasons why he learned more sign language than us!

But every once in a while we'd get the courage to go downstairs and try to communicate with the deaf kids that stay there during the week! We did go down during school time and hangout with Elmer and Veronica! Sometimes if Veronica was cooking we'd help her in the kitchen,if not we'd just laugh at Elmer being Elmer! 

After supper one night Susanna and I were helping Elmer and Carlos with the dishes,and Elmer didn't want to make Susanna feel bad for being short and having to go on her tiptoes every once in a while so he did this... lol! 

such a clown,plus didn't help that Susanna and I would laugh at every little thing he did!

           

We also would play games with dear Miguelito! This little boy is so cute,but can also be very naughty. I still fell in love with him though!

One night we had Hot dogs roast for supper! they were really good!

 Soon it was the last day there,and we had to say goodbye to the kids! We were excited to get back to our own house,but I was surprised how sad I felt about leaving! we had a fun 3 weeks!

Ana and Teresa. I wanted to get a picture of them two,Susanna,and I, but I ended up taking more than just one. They would tickle us and and we'd scream,and then they would be kissing us!

A bit blurry,but..

 

Our time there was a great experience, I think we all enjoyed it a bit more than we thought we would! Good memories. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Gotta go
