Finally!

The weather has finally turned spring like - ok, I think I can make it now - the days of cold temps and blah cloudy days were getting pretty old, pretty fast (I won't mention that by Monday they are predicting we will be back into the 30s for a high - what do "they" know anyway, right?). But with the warm temperatures comes the opportunity to finally enjoy them. Here are some pics of the boys playing outside....I did this photo shoot in black and white - the ground was brown and muddy anyway and the lighting at that time of day made for some fun photography experiments.


































Also, our family friend from Costa Rica was finally able to come for his anticipated visit. He comes about once a year for different reasons. The purpose of this trip was to buy a new vehicle (guess the taxes and cost of vehicles in Costa Rica are so outrageous that it is actually more cost effective to come to the states to buy one and drive it down). He will be driving his new truck and a trailer full of housing supplies and goodies back home next week. He will actually be stopping to meet my brother-in-law in Honduras to relay some supplies for his housing project as well. We got to know Arturo through my brother-in-law, Daniel - they worked together in Costa Rica when Daniel was doing missions work there. Arturo will be officiating Daniel's upcoming wedding to his sweet Carol later this month (in Honduras). We spent the evening with Arturo at the in-laws house this evening...

Planning and educating us on his route home...
