Home Sweet Home

God provided us with the perfect house for our family and included a few of the modern conveniences that we thought we'd miss the most---a real stove/oven, hot water, and a yard.  He even threw in a few extras like nice beds, cool looking bamboo furniture in the living room, a large refrigerator with a small freezer, a garden, and a beautiful spot to drink coffee and have morning prayer!

Avinca Village:  Blue house on the corner
(That's what we say to the motorella driver to get home.)

Who wants to come over for coffee and morning prayer?

Beautiful garden of greens already planted for us!
(Too bad I only recognize the green onions!  But I'm learning!)

The boys' rooms are down in the basement.  Don't feel sorry for them...they are the coolest rooms in the house!

 
For two weeks the neighborhood kids have lined up like this along our fence. They were too shy to come into our yard to play. And ours were too shy to go out to play. 
 

Today, our kids finally made it out the gate to play in the street with the neighborhood kids (after I forbid them to play ball under our carport.  Moms have to get drastic sometimes!).  They had so much fun!
