One of the great lacks of Puebla is green space–parks. There are some decent ones, and we love them, but coming from very green areas (WA & PA) we sometimes miss wide swathes of green grass and lots of trees rustling in the wind. Yesterday we found a neat little park by the river. It’s […]

Well, we’ve had other things on our plate, but better late than never. Or early! Way early for 2012! Courtesy of Relient K, “I ain’t gettin nuttin for Christmas” which surely must be the best rendition of the song ever, even though I haven’t gone and listened to every version out there. Update: here’s a […]

Last week on Children’s Day, April 30th, here in Mexico, Gavin and Fiona prayed to accept Jesus as their Savior. It was a really special moment, and the culmination of a process which has lasted a month or so (or years, depending on your view of educating your children in the ways of the Lord; […]

Drew was assigned the topic of “Volcanoes” in his geography class, which, when you think about it, is a pretty exciting topic. So he conspired with Barbara-Lee to make a volcano and set it off as part of the presentation. It’s semi-difficult to dig information out of Drew about “how did your day go”, so […]

Here’s the complete set of photos from the EBM Retreat in Veracruz: EBM Retreat 2011. If you already looked at the first bunch, advance through the small slides at the bottom to #64.

So, it’s not every day you get a phone call from Paris, but today we did. It was my (Tim’s) cousin, Rachel, calling to say that she got engaged yesterday in Pareee (Paris, but make sure you read it with a nasal tone). So congratulations to Rachel and Christian (especially if you didn’t actually get […]

I write this in hopes of starting something regular, looking back at our week, touching on highlights, showing what our week is typically like, and, hopefully being interesting. I’m pretty wiped, since I took Drew to a football camp in the morning (a missionary friend is running it in the community behind Pueblo Nuevo) and […]

Well, after three months of looking, we found a house in Pueblo Nuevo. I suppose I’m not as excited as I ought to be (I think I’m as thankful as I ought to be), because it’s more of temporary housing, and we’ll be sharing space in front with cars (a two car front-to-back garage), a […]

Have you seen the cartoon of Santa and four reindeer singing the Drifters’ version of White Christmas? Well, we have been inspired by it for a few years now (both the cartoon and the song), and were finally inspired enough to do our own, uh, version.
