home again, home again jiggedy jig

I had a great trip to La Paz, El Alto, and Oruro. There were a number of great stories from playing freeze tag at 11,000 feet (adds a new meaning to being “out of breath”), eating choripan for the first time (sure beat hamburgers), preaching at the second oldest church in Bolivia, and meeting...

balloon volleyball

So what do you do when your kids are restless? Play balloon volleyball of course. Last night after dinner I blew up balloons for the kids, moved the coffee table, turned up some music, and we danced while hitting balloons into the air. For a half an hour I made the kids dance, jump, [...]

coffee & books

Yesterday I had a wonderful time with my friend Ximena. We went out for coffee and talked straight for two hours. My Spanish was a little rusty, but she helped me through expressing my thoughts in another language, we were able to relate about more personal issues than just our likes and dislikes, we...

playing risk

We played Risk as a family the other day. How? you may ask with our kids being so young…it would take a lot to explain, but I simplified it and we had a blast. As I sat at the table and watched Ben and Dan go head to head over a country, Rachel cheer for the [...]

Lord, here i come

I love to decorate. And those who have known me for a while know that my house has a tendency to change décor quite frequently. Now here in Bolivia, I find a way I like an arrangement and leave it that way. Probably because we have moved so much I’m beginning to [...]

prayer

Last night Naomi prayed a beautiful prayer that I would like to share with you. I realize that not only am I on a spiritual journey, but my children are as well. “Dear Heavenly Father, I mean, dear Lord, I mean, dear God… Thank you for today and that we had a good day. I pray [...]

back to normal

Our life is getting back to normal. The other day I smelled something burning as I walked down the stairs. Looking in the kitchen I saw that the water in the sink had been turned on full blast, Dan was running his arm under the water, and Ben was saying there was a fire. “What happened?”...

Footzall

The dust was flying, guys sliding on the dusty concrete “cancha” court, all yelling and laughing and smack talking simultaneously. I just tried to listen and not look too out of place, then jumped, skidded, remembering again not to touch the ball with my hands (darn basketball reflexes),...

riding bikes

Yes we know, we’ve been absent from the blogosphere world for now, what is it 2 months? well ok, I just posted some sections of our newsletter. but that doesn’t really count does it. So, um… we just took some time off I guess, not enough time to get it all done, and so the [...]

Leaving soon Yep it’s true! We’re heading back to Bolivia on June 9th. Returning is a little different knowing we’re going back to our home in Bolivia with our car in the driveway, Lucy (our dog) waiting for us in the backyard, and our friends all waiting for a phone call saying, “we’re finally [....
