I'm not quite sure where the past three weeks went but I'll tell you they disappeared in record time.
We have so very much enjoyed having Joy's father, Edward, here with us for the past three weeks. We really haven't done much... Time just seems to have disappeared.
Our first weekend we went to the Auto Safari Chapin. We really enjoyed this. We stopped for ice cream at the Sarita. We had two trips to the dentist (no emergencies but regular cleanings.) We capitalized on our "snow day" and went up to Panajachel and stayed at Las Buenas Nuevas. This was very relaxing (sleeping in) and fun. We took the boat over to Santiago Atitlán - got thoroughly scorched.
Then there was Abigail's birthday. That night we had dinner at the Kim's, the home of the girls' piano teacher. It was truly amazing. We had great Korean food and then a small piano concert where Yo Han (their son), Ha Yeong (their eldest daughter), Abigail, Emma, Joy and Linda (their teacher) all played different pieces. We also sang hymns in English and Korean.
Saturday we had Abigail's real party... and wow - it was wild. Abigail, Emma and seven of Abigail's friends had a party at the mall then they came to our home where we had dinner and a movie. Whilst all this madness was happening Ed, Sara and I went to see, "The Adventures of Mr. Peabody and Sherman" - totally in Spanish. It was, actually, a pretty good movie.
We have had a game of Rummy Cube on the go for the past week. We're letting Ed win. :9)
A good time. We'll miss him. Thanks to the Northeast for having scheduled a new snow storm for his return. That will be a quite a shock for his system.

Two Week Recap - Where does time go?
I sat down this morning to read the last post and realized it was two weeks ago. Oops. As I recall last week was just tiring.
The week before last we were blessed to have had the Missions Team from Portsmouth Christian Academy in town. They were working with some of our AMG friends, the Wilsons', not with us but we were privileged to get to visit with them numerous times throughout the week and that was truly wonderful. Our niece, Emily, was on that team and it was really great to see her. The kids too enjoyed some extra time with their cousin. We said goodbye to them on Saturday, March 1st. Even though their return trip was more complicated than originally planned we understand the trip was amazing and very positive.
Saying goodbye to Emily and the PCA team gave way to some last minute preparations for the arrival of Joy's father, Edward. He arrived late in the evening this past Wednesday night. This is Ed's third visit to Guatemala and first since Christmas 2010.
Ed will be doing some work on enhancing the inventory system and protocols at C.A.G. during the week days and relaxing and enjoying the grandkids in the evening/ weekends. This past weekend we took him to see the Auto Safari Chapin... if he shows off his pictures we encourage you to have a look - there's something about driving through a safari and taking seriously cool up-close pictures of the animals. This coming weekend we are planning on visiting the Lake at Panajachel.
For those who are following Meghan - she was at school for chapel and discipleship this past week - she is doing remarkably well considering. The doctors have said she is ahead of where they anticipated she would be, with regards to her recovery, and everyone is prayerful that the worst is behind her.
Not much else to say and with that I'll bid you all a happy Monday!
