13 meses (months)



A new suitor trying to move in on Kamryn with a flower and a kiss



Friends playing with pigeons and our experience in downtown San Jose








Kamryn and Taylor feeding themselves




Biker Chick with a goatee



new bathtub (They think it's a pool)



Can you believe the girls are over 13 months old now. They are all over the place and pulling up on everything. Taylor's two teeth are getting longer, while Kamryn still isn't showing signs of any. Speaking of teeth, I (Ted)got to experience a root canal in another country. I think it was all fine, except the dentist used too much of the numbing stuff, 'cause even my nostrils were so numb and relaxed, I couldn't breathe through them.
We got to take a trip downtown over the weekend with some friends. That was a new cultural experience, but was a little like New Orleans with street performers and venders and old architectural buildings. There was a big indoor market there where you can buy all kinds of things. We got some new coffee to try, which was pretty good, and the girls got some hand-made Costa Rican sandals. We also bought a painting from a street artist that we thought was pretty cool.
While I haven't really found my place in ministry here, Kerri has a neat opportunity that she is enjoying. She is working with some other ladies ministering to young girls, most of whom are pregnant, teaching them cooking skills and doing a Bible study. The good part is that I get to be the test dummy and get fat(ter) trying new recipes. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support.

Just great to see that everything is going wonderfully. I always like to keep up with your updates they are a blessing to know that they are doing so well. Margarito is getting more teeth so far he has 3 in the bottom an 2 on the top. He is developing his own personality so he is requiring more attention. but I only have 1 but I'm so bless. Take care and let your wife know that we still think about her often. los quiere mucho la mama de Margarito.

Good to see an update from you guys. I cannot believe the girls are 13 months when it seems like not too long ago that they were born!

Don't worry about the teeth- my youngest- Hailey- was almost two before she got teeth- dentist said it was fine! Prayers for you from Memphis!
