Costa Rica!

Well, as most of you know we made it here to Costa Rica on Saturday night around 8pm.  We were thankful for safe flights and that all of our bags made it.  We had people waiting at the airport right outside of customs to help us grab our bags and helped us out to the van and brought us to our new home for the next year.  We certainly give God the glory for everything going so smoothly.

 

We unpacked yesterday and walked to the local grocery and ate Chinese for lunch.  We even took a trip to Walmart in the late afternoon, which is a little further away.  We went with our "big sister", Denyse in a van that they had hired to take us.  There are drivers that help families as ours coming to the language school.  It is more reliable than a taxi with much more room.  

 

Tomorrow we start orientation for language school, so continued prayer is appreciated as we adjust to a new culture and learn a new language. 

 

 

 The girls love the swing set in our backyard.  I love that the area is enclosed so that they can play more freely :)  Thanking God for taking care of the little details.

 Siesta time for Danica and Katie Sunday afternoon.  I learned a little trick at WMI this summer about putting two twin beds together to make a king size bed.  This seems a little better for Danica since this is her transition from a crib. 

 Above is the little reminder note Chris posted per my request in the bathroom.  Hannah had a little melt-down the first night we were here because she accidentally flushed her toilet paper.  So, we posted this little reminder for everyone!!!

 Here are the girls today posing in our backyard by the palm trees Katie was counting yesterday morning when she woke up.

Let me introduce you to a little friend we found on the paper towels this morning.  The girls would love to keep it, but we decided it might be best to let the little critter go free so it could eat some bugs.

The teeter-totter is also a big hit.  Pretty sure Danica has a new friend, the neighbors have twin girls who are about the same age.

 

We are excited to see what God has for us here as a family and as his children.  Our prayer is that we would be faithful in all things for his glory.
