Things Joshua Wants for His Birthday

Joshua turns 2 in a week or so, and I KNOW all of you are dying to know what he wants for his birthday.

Punch Out for Wii
Mario Power Tennis for Wii
A Remote Controlled Airplane
Tickets to a White Sox Game
Universal Remote Control 1 2 3

I promise, he told me each one of these in plain English without hesitation, he just rattled them off after dinner right after saying "truck... juice... Dad I want Punch Out, Mario Power Tennis, and a Remote Controlled Airplane for my Birthday."

Tito - Thanks for 4 Great Years

Gerardo "Tito" Flores

A great friend and co-worker for four years is leaving Casa Viva on Friday. It is a sad day for me as he has been so integral to the growth and development of Casa Viva in Costa Rica. He has served as a LeaderTreks team coordinator and most recently as a church and family recruiter for Casa Viva Costa Rica.

I am excited for him as this next step for him will be a great adventure. He and his wife Joanna are going to open a high-end sports store in Heredia, where they live. We have great hopes for their store.

Kristin and I wish them well in their new phase of life, but we want them to know they will be dearly missed.

Joshua's First Amusement Park

Hi family and friends,

Joshua had a fun afternoon today with mommy and daddy at KiddieLand (it's been open since 1929!). . . .his first amusement park experience (thank you again, Jason and Andrea for the tickets and coupons!). The highlight of the afternoon for Joshua was the little steam-engine train that choo-chooed around the perimeter of the park. Joshua kept exclaiming, "Twain Twain!!! Wow!!!" We went at least 5 times.

He also enjoyed sitting with daddy on the carousel and in an elephant, and driving an old-fashioned car.

Thought you'd enjoy the pics!
