Our Costa Rican girl

Lucy has stayed very busy here in Costa Rica visiting many different stores around the city to try to get our home set up. Here we are strolling around the town. It is very hard for us to go on a stroll because of the sidewalks here (or should I say lack of sidewalks).

Our team mate, Erin, gave us this great idea from another missionary family here and that is to bath Lucy in a rubermaid container that we used to pack in. Lucy didn't seem to mind the cramped space and I think we are going to try to stick with this rather than the pool, since it is not inflatable.


This is Lucy's bedroom, and although it is not a great shot you can see the basic layout of the room. We use the twin bed in her room as a changing table for now but if anyone wants to come visit we have a bed for you to sleep on:)


Lucy loves her new crib and has slept amazingly well in it. The streets here are very noisy and so we are quite surprised at how well she can sleep through it all.


We were sad to find out that we can not get Sesame Street on our cable but today we found Barney in Spanish and she seemed to really enjoy it. Hopefully it will make her learn Spanish even more.


Lucy has found her new favorite treat here, and that is bread from a local bread shop right down the road. The only problem is that the bread is so soft and moist it gets stuck on the top of her roof- we think it is funny that Lucy only has a few words in her vocabulary and now one of them is "stuck".



We are trying to get Lucy to speak some words in Spanish. So far she has only said agua (water) but hopefully she will learn "hola" and "chao" soon because for right now she just looks confused when any of the locals try to talk to her.
