Waterfall

Over the weekend we went to a Baptist camp here in Honduras on a teacher retreat. It was about a 4 hour drive to the retreat, but it was probably only 2 hours away. There are pictures below of Mike participating in some group bonding and we went to visit a waterfall. The waterfall is only 8 meters shorter than Niagra Falls and Mike went in behind it. There is also a picture of the group that he was with that went behind the waterfall. He loved it! He also went to the top of waterfall and looked over the edge! I didn't do either of those things...some things are better left to the imagination. The retreat was good. We actually got to hear our pastor preach for the first time in English and that was great!

Naked Baby

We had been wanting to make some naked pictures of Jack for his future girlfriend/wife and here they are! He was so hyper after we took the pictures he would hardly go to sleep!!!

Dogs, Woodpeckers and Garbage Trucks..

You know when the garbage man comes to get the trash there is always this loud beeping noise...well there is not that here, but there are other things that seem to have an alarm and go off just when you don't want to wake up. We just got a dog on February 3rd that we are taking care of for another couple that can't have a dog in the apartments. He is actually a puppy named Gideon and he is 8 weeks old tomorrow! I thought that babies were tiring, but this puppy has a thousand times more energy than Jack! He has been howling at all hours and the first night we had him really kept us up, but he has gotten better since. There are pictures of him and Jack below. Also, I thought that woodpeckers were called that because they peck on wood, not cement block houses!!! Anyway, at 6AM almost every morning we are greeted with a sound that is similar to a jackhammer on the outside of our bedroom wall! Does anyone know how to get rid of them besides shooting them??? Actually, they are very beautiful birds, apparently they are all good looks with no sense!

On the Playground...you know...Playground!

It is very important for Jack to get outside...2 reasons...he needs Vitamin D from the sun and our place is so small he needs to get out (and so does his mommy). It is nice being so close to school and a good place to walk. We also live close to some friends. I have a friend named Patti that has a 5 month old (Alejandro), a little boy that just turned 2 (Diego), and a daughter that is 9 (Marjorie). Diego loves to run and play and wear his sister out! The pictures below are from a visit to the playground. Jack mainly watched, but seemed to be content doing that! Marjorie did take him down the slide, which he seemed to like. Patti enjoyed her break and was very grateful!

Dancing for the Lord

When we came to Honduras we signed contracts that said that we would not smoke, drink or DANCE! I think that they did not want us to go clubbing and that was the main reason for the rule. I guess the rules do not apply to Jack. I don't know where he learned it, but he just suddenly started dancing. I tried to video it several times when I was alone with him, but he was too distracted by the camera. Saturday night we had friends over and I could catch Jack on video. Kyle Webb is holding Jack's toy computer, but Kyle is not dancing...he is only imitating the baby...really!!!

Christmas Visit

While we were in the states we visited a lot. We didn't get pictures with everyone this time, but you get the idea! We had a great time and Jack especially liked getting spoiled! I finally got some sleep and I am now a much nicer person to be around! We all discovered that we are used to the humidity in Honduras and dried out with all the heat. Jack's poor cheeks were so red, he really did look like Santa.
