Lucy has loved being here and has enjoyed all the extra attention she gets from the interns- Jamie, Josh and Andy. It is amazing because she really does feel at home here even though we are still living out of suitcases. The other morning we were eating breakfast and our conversation went like this:
Lucy: Mommy where are we?
Me: We are in Honduras now.
Lucy: (with a very excited look on her face) Mommy this is home!
Relaxing on the hammock. We don't have much time to just sit and relax but when we do this is the first place I go. Both Lucy and Ellie love just to rest for a while in the cool shade.
We got to reunite with our friends, the Eubanks, the other day. We were in Costa Rica with them until they left back in May so it was so fun to see them once again. The dog in the picture is Max, he belongs to the Pettengills and is the sweetest rockwailer you will ever meet. Lucy is still getting used to him and kind of has a love/hate relationship with him.
Lucy showed Liam how to play the piano while cuddling up beside him.
Sweet Ellie has probably suffered the most from all the transition. She misses having grandparents and aunts to hold her (as do I!), she is battling a horrible cough that she got while in the States, and she isn't sleeping great due to the fact that I won't let her budge even the slightest bit out of the fear she will wake up Lu. But we bought her this chair and she loves it so when all else fails we just put her in it and she enjoys a couple of minutes of pure joy.

Isn't it neat how God knits our hearts for the place He has for us...this is home! We are so excited about what God is doing in your lives.
We are in this "final stage" in CR - the countdown...3 months and 1 day! Pray we don't focus so much on the end that we forget the right now...still have rules 8-15 to go!

hey mccanns! i enjoy reading about all of your adventures! how exciting that you have finally made it to honduras...i know it must feel good to finally feel like you can plant some roots. i know you are enjoying your two sweet girls, but are probably exhausted, too! i think you should give ellie a chance to wake up lucy...i am always worried about that when we're traveling and my kids are in the same room. i have been amazed that owen can be screaming at the top of his lungs and knox sleeps right through it. obviously you know lucy's sleeping habits better than i, but i thought i'd pass along that bit of encouragement, just in case. it's crazy how soundly kids sleep...i wish i did!!! good luck to you all as you get settled in. i look forward to reading more! :)
i'm thinking lucy looks like her daddy, and ellie's expression in that first one of her looks a little bit like her "aunt katy"! :)very sweet pictures. these ladies will grow up with some amazing life stories and with a very special bond with you and sean!
so cool!!! -lindsey
