March is here!

March is here!  We’re in the hottest time of the year in Peru...it has been almost unbearably warm these past few weeks and we are definitely not minding the cold showers these days!

Life has been busy, our days have been full and I’m having a hard to time believing it’s already been 5 months since we made the big move down here!  Hoping the next 5 months go by just as quick as we look forward to our visit back to Canada in August.

We've been taking the kids swimming a lot this summer to keep them cool, and busy, but Summer holidays are almost over now and next week the kids will be going back to school and getting back into routine.  Karlita and Mateo will both be starting kindergarden this year.  They’re excited, especially Mateo since this will be his first time going to school.

Tomorrow Jake and the guys are taking the 2 hour trip out to Chiclayo (which is 2 hours the opposite direction of Trujillo) to find some car parts. It will probably be an all day trip, so let’s pray baby doesn't decide to come tomorrow.  With only about 2 weeks to go till our little one is due, everyone’s getting excited for the baby.  I was so blessed yesterday at the women’s ministry, as we were closing in prayer all the women surrounded me laying their hands on my belly as they prayed for me and the baby.  It was a beautiful moment.  My growing belly has definitely gotten lots of attention from all the kids here too.  The older ones are all counting down the days with me, giving name ideas, and having fun trying to guess the gender, and the younger ones love hugging and patting my belly and it’s so cute how some of them even press their ears up against it thinking they might hear something.  This baby will be blessed with many loving brothers and sisters!
