Today I am writing from Nashville, Tennessee. Yep, that's quite a ways from Cuenca! We arrived in the States on June 30 and will travel back to Ecuador on September 2. We have been in Atlanta with Duane and Liliana and the little boys, as well as Bethany and Saulo. Then all of us gathered at Cade and Marcia's place in Nashville for two days together. Today we will head back north for the Mennonite annual conference meetings in Berlin, OH and other events in the next weeks.
The last blog I wrote was about Jonathan's birth and now he is four months old. Holding him, coaxing smiles from him, realizing again and again that he has certain features that clearly look like his Grandpa Castro and many other connecting experiences have been a special blessing these last two weeks.
Big brother Adrian took to Grandpa and Grandma right away. His second birthday came while we were in Atlanta and we got to help celebrate that special event. What fun! Getting those two candles blown out was serious business!
And of course, being with our own children, now adults, rounded out the experiences as a family. I will not go into all the details, but we are thankful for the blessings of family... God is good.
Hope this finds you enjoying a wonderful summer.
