Eli Day!!!!!!!

Today is Eli's day...the day we met our son for the first time in Colombia. It has been 3 years ago since then, my how time flies. Eli we LOVE you so much and are so thankful God had you to be our son.



Here is Eli now.........he is such an amazing little boy....

"Rob Bell"

What do you guys think about Rob Bell? There has been some controversy about him and the book Velvet Elvis...just curious what you all think? For those of you who do not know about Rob Bell you can check him out here. As for us....well we want to hear what you have to say first...just curious.

Amenities

Ok so we live in Mo- town now and since we are in the process of building our house we are living in this 900 sq ft or less duplex....very cozy....I am so thankful that it is Summer or we would be going totally crazy,not just crazy. We are very social people and LOVE having people over,but since our place is so small we are going in withdraw...again so thankful it is summer

One other thing the dishwasher dose not work so my Kitchen looks like this most of the time......

After being in places like Ethiopia and Colombia it really makes you realize how fortunate we are I mean 900 sq ft is HUGE and having running water is a luxury. Don't get me wrong I am still very excited to move into our house, but it totally makes me stop and think about the amenities that we get used to and feel that we can't do without.

"CHEESE"

Eva cheesin it up..........

Save Money, Buy Gobena

Here's a way to cut costs and still enjoy superb gourmet, fair trade coffee...

Brew your own cup of Gobena Coffee instead of picking up a latte at Starbucks: save $985 / yr.
A tall latte at the local Starbucks will run you about $3 a cup, or $1,095 a year, if you go there every day. If you brew your own at home for 30 cents or less per cup, you'll pay nearly $110.

(plus Gobena Coffee is 100% Organic)

Little House

As they say...love grows best in little houses with fewer walls to separate...

I thought our duplex we are renting was small, but this brings a fresh perspective, and makes me appreciate what we've got...

"Built in 1912, this recently renovated LITTLE HOUSE is a perfect example of how to make the most of small spaces.
This one bedroom, one bathroom home occupies what used to be a driveway and measures 2.2 metres wide, by 34 metres long with under 28 sq metres of living space. This cutie could be yours for only $180,000!"

Party gear

Pick your nose party cups......Clever Idea!!!

Dress for dinner napkins......pretty cool

Just a few pics to brighten your day!!!!!

Health Challenge Update

Danae:

Goal: 135 lbs
Today: 140 lbs

The weight isn't coming off too fast. I'm okay with that because I feel like I'm getting in better shape. Been working out 3+ days a week, putting on 20+ miles per week on the bike plus working out at Gold's gym.



Steve:
I have conflicting goals, so it's going to be a challenge.

Goal #1: Run 6.2 miles in 37.5 minutes. (So far my fastest run has been 39.5 minutes and it hurt bad. Gotta keep pushing toward my 6 minute per mile goal.)

Goal #2: Weigh 160 lbs or more. (weighed in this morning at 153 lbs) But I'm going to get a large peanut butter malt at Culver's today, so that alone should add a couple pounds.

I've been getting up at 5:30am M-F to work out.
Tues and Thur mornings I run 6.2 miles through Morton.
Mon, Wed, Fri, I lift weights at Gold's (Jeff Kaufman and I are keeping each other accountable).

Colombia Cuisine

Eli's gotcha day is coming up, so we took him to a Colombian restaurant in Chi town.

What you see here is chicken, plantain's and potato's..very good stuff....totally took me back those 3 1/2 years ago in Bogota....


Eva enjoying the Colombian cuisine......


I asked Eli where he was and he said with a grin.....I am in Colombia....to cute

The Bro's.....next time Isaac we will eat American food......

Isaac

I Love his expression.....

Think about it......

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.” Forest E. Witcraft

So TRUE so TRUE!!!!!!

Think about it........
