If this doesn't tug at your heartstrings .......

One of my friends is a full time missionary in Zacapa, Guatemala and the areas around it. He posts pictures of his life there from time to time .So I made this montage of his pictures to share with you all :) Everytime I see a new picture something happens in my heart. It is a amazing thing .... it is like my heart skips a beat and I am filled with emotion. A part of me wants to run down there and never come back and the other part of me is scared to death to go because of the intense emotion I know I will feel. But I rest in the peace knowing that God will show me when it is the time to go.

My 2 sweeties

2 years 2 months and 2 days old

FFF

Us with Homer and Rosa from Santa Cruz del Quiche, Guatemala

This is my FFF because these are some amazing Guatemalans. They are here in the US trying to raise support for there "orphanage". Really so far all they have been able to do is take kids into there own house. They have 8 bio kids and have taken in 10 others plus they feed the widows. They have NOTHING ( no sponsors so far) and they just keep trusting God to provide them with enough food to feed all these people. There testimony is amazing and they are my heroes.

So mom , what makes you think we snuck our pudding in your room ??

Wordless Wednesday

Okay I have to say when I saw this I had a HEART ATTACK

I think 2 year olds have a attention span 0f 30 seconds. They go from one thing to the next in a flash . The twins are really learning how to outsmart me . For example whenever they are not listening I -do the thing your not supposed to do -tell them I am going to call Papa ...... today when they were getting into trouble Arianna brought me the phone and said " Call Papa? " Ugh ..... gotta keep one step ahead of them somehow :) !! Speaking of steps .... has anyone got there toes stepped on by dress up shoes ?? OUCH !!

NO I NOT

Taylors hamster has gone "missing" alot lately ....

Gee I wonder how that happens

Oh its the partners in crime A&B

Which partner looks more guilty (I think she is trying to climb in the cage)

I will just open it a little bit


Innocent or guilty !!??

Whenever I asked Arianna if she did it - she gives me this look and says "NO I NOT" :) How could you ever think such a thing !!??

FFF

My Mayan princess

My Mayan prince ( who will hate me for this pic when he is older)

Angelika had fun dressing the twins up.

Sleeping and Cereal

This is how Arianna was sleeping this morning ... Bray is trying to wake her up. He wakes up before her and has to run and wake her up.

Gosh , what time is it !!??

Do I have to get up !!??

I came in the kitchen and found this ........

The twins got there own bowl , spoon and and poured themselves some cereal

I am very excited that they are getting more independent
