Baby Update

Venuncio Enrique is still with us and doing great. We have been taking turns keeping him so that none of us gets overly tired. He is growing so much. The last time that we weighed him he was almost 10 pounds. We found out that he is only 3 months old so he is closer to the right size. He is very social and loves to be talked to and held. He is smiling and trying to laugh. The best news is that last night he slept 7 hours. We had decided to keep him until he sleeps through the night so that it will be easier for Oralia when he has to go back to the Home. Here are a couple pictures that we took of him.

He almost smiled for me in this one - I was trying really hard. This is the best I got.


Taking a little morning snooze!


We like to think that he is praying here - he very often has his hands together like this.


He is grabbing things and trying to get them into his mouth.


In other news, all four of our kids have ear infections and are on antibiotics. If you think of us, please pray for our health and for the antibiotics to start working. They have all had fevers and are just really worn out. We have not done school for over a week now.

The first night that we had a power outage (which we have not had any since we wrote about it in our blog!) we were outside when it went off and caught this picture of the sunset. The picture doesn't really do it justice but we thought we would share it anyway.
