Thanksgiving!

Leah transformed our garage into a beautiful banquet hall for our American thanksgiving celebration. We had REAL, ACTUAL, MOIST turkey (haven't had that in a year!) 

The view looking out at the volcano (from the Starbucks porch) 

Retreat Center

Pine Trees!!!! Yes, even in this tropical country we could drive an hour and get to a cute little retreat center with cool breezes and pine trees. Not only was the teaching and worship great...it was so nice to have a quiet place to rest and pray. (That's real grass too) Ahhhh....We also had lukewarm showers!!! (Just a step above the cold at my appartment) 

Starbucks

This amazing view was from the Starbucks overlooking the volcano...a great little resting spot while we were on our retreat this week. We justified one trip by walking there from the retreat center (about 45 minutes) 

babies babies everywhere!

Brit and I checking a newborn (I'm looking at a clock...thus the lovely look on my face) Asian babies are so cute and hairy. 

Let's party! It's the clinic anniversary party!

A street shot walking to the market...look at that great gray smog! 

On a home visit with some friends. I attended the births of both of their children. 

Our apartment now (what a transformation!!) It's quite posh, eh? Just check out a few photos down for a picture of the outside for a little reality check.  

One of our new birthrooms (still stocking it)
