~Some pics from a weekend ago.~

Thank you for all your kind comments on the pictures that Jesus and I took of Elijah. Like someone mentioned...I had an cute "subject" to work with. =)
~The other day...our kids and I were happy to find these hand blown glass pumpkins at our mall and just had to buy them to use with our fall decorations. Most of the people here have never even seen an orange pumpkin (unless it was painted or a picture of one that has been carved for halloween) so I'm glad to have these to show them the kind of pumpkins that we are used to having in the USA. We're happy with our 2 orange glass pumpkins that won't rot! =)~

~On Friday evenings our girls' teacher Adriana comes to our house and teaches them violin and piano. Last Friday evening their friend Paula was also at our house. So, I decided to make up some choc. cupcakes to let the kids decorate them. Adriana even helped put the icing on top, and was LOVING watching the kids. She told me that she is 37 and has NEVER been around someone who has baked or decorated cakes like that. She said that the Colombian ladies do not know how to bake. (They are very good cooks though.)~~Adriana's face seems to say..."Good to the last drop." =)~

~Sunday November 9th, We took cakes and pop to both of our churches so that the people could help me celebrate my birthday. (I was going to bake the cakes...but I made the first one and put it in my 2 piece angel food cake pan...which must have gotten bent for I watched through the oven window in HORROR as NEARLY ALL OF MY CAKE DOUGH dripped out into the bottom of my oven. SOB!!! ={ SO, I just ran to the bakery on Saturday night and bought cakes to take to our churches the next day.) Our church people were happy that I had had a birthday. =) The baby in the picture with me was turning 8 months that day, and the other lady had a birthday that very day. We had a good service and a good time of fellowship afterwards too.
~Cleaning up after the yummy snack.~
~I snapped this picture of this cute little girl. Her jean skirt was so cute and not bigger than a minute. =)~
~Our family before our Sunday night service started.~

This past Sunday Elijah and I stayed home for we are both fighting a cold and I didn't think that going up into the mountains where it is even colder and being out in the rain in the RAINY season would help our colds any. My family said that God gave good services both services yesterday. Juan Martin and his family joined my family at church and then came to our house for Sunday dinner and for a snack after church. I was a very blessed lady yesterday...for the MEN did the dishes after both meals. WOW! I hardly knew what to do with myself...having my kitchen cleaned without me in there. HA! It was nice. I took a picture of "The men at work" so that I would have proof, and wouldn't think I was just dreaming. HA!~
This past Friday night our kids and Paula were out in front of our house playing...when 3 men went RUNNING by them at a very fast speed. Then...came a police man running after them yelling..."Catch them". A few minutes later the police man came back with one of the men, the others had escaped. We aren't sure what they had done, but it was sort of unnerving since they ran down our street. =(
I hope that y'all had a wonderful Lord's day.
