VIDEO: Wii Boxing

We had a yard sale yesterday at the home of one of the other missionaries. She has a Nintendo Wii, and in order to keep Nathan occupied, we had to let him play it. He’s good at boxing.

Want to help us get our own Nintendo Wii for free? You could get a free one, too. Click here for more details.

Weather in Mexico City

Lately, it’s been pretty hot in Mexico City. The weather has reached over 30 degrees Centigrade (86 F) a lot lately. March is the hottest month, and it’s been hotter than usual this year. The federal government has issued warnings, reminding people to take precaution when going out for long periods of time.

We have a great way to beat the heat. We play in the sprinkler.

A Quick Easter Update

We went to church at Capital City Baptist Church, and English speaking church in Mexico City, since Easter isn’t celebrated that much in Mexican churches. It seems like Good Friday is celebrated more here than Easter Sunday.

We invited two students from the Seminary over for Easter dinner, and we tried to explain to them how we celebrate Easter in the USA. We had great food, great company, and lots of fun playing with Nathan’s Easter present.

Here are some home video clips from Easter.

One Year’s Difference

Today I took this picture of Nathan, and I remembered one that I had taken last year about this same time. He’s growing up a lot.

We bought a…

Bubble machine! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. Finally, we bought a pretty cool little bubble blower for about $10 today at Walmart. It blows a ton of bubbles in a short amount of time. It was windy this afternoon when we tried it out, but we had fun.

Check out the pictures of us playing with the bubbles:

VIDEO: New Baby

This video says it all. We’re having another baby! It’s a boy.

Big News

In case you haven’t already heard, we’re having another baby! Nathan is going to be a brother. We went to the doctor yesterday to have a 4D ultrasound, and they told us that it’s a boy. So, we’re thinking of names and getting ready for his arrival. The due date is August 1.

Janell is feeling fine. She has been tired, but not really been very sick. Nathan is excited that there’s a baby in mommy’s belly, and he’s going to be an excellent big brother. I’m excited, too, thinking about what a privilege it is to have another child.

Here’s a video of the 4D ultrasound.
