I tried to capture on video the other day how much Lucy enjoys talking baths these days. So here is a random video of her in the bath tub talking about her friends at school (as you can tell Issac and Will are by far her favorite classmates), activities at school, saying her ABC's (A-G) and counting in Spanish and English. You might not be able to understand half the things she says and that is why I tried to interpret them for you by repeating after her.
Tico is a SHE!!
Well the wait is finally over, Tica is our second little girl.
This is Lindsey at 22 weeks pregnant. We are thrilled to welcome another little girl in our family and can't wait to meet this little one. Lucy has enjoyed saying the word "sister" and hopefully will understand the concept more and more as the time draws near.
(Amazingly, our blog has been around long enough for this to be our second announcement, here is the one of Cosmet (Lucy)

Preparing for Baby
While Gannie and Mac were here last week they bought Lucy this new baby changing table/bath tub/eating area to prepare for the arrival of Baby Tico. She loves it and it is very sweet to see her play with her babies and talk to them like we talk to her.
She enjoys preparing meals for the babies and feeding them. She even adds commentary when she feeds them saying "yum", "all done", "mas (more)"
The lower cabinet is one of Lucy's favorite features about this play area because she loves to open and close the doors.
Thank you again Gannie and Mac for my new toy, I love it and can't wait to be a helpful big sister!

Lucy was fast asleep for most of the jungle trail and waterfalls.
Here we are overlooking an old volcanic crater at Poas Volcano.

Gannie and Mac Come to Costa Rica
Gannie and Mac arrived last Thursday, June 5 and are staying until next Sunday, June 15th. We traveled this weekend north from San Jose about 2 hours to Volcano Poas. We got to see many beautiful sights of Costa Rica and we will post more pictures soon.
One very exciting thing about the arrival of Gannie and Mac was a great surplus of American goods we have missed, including Chick-fil-A biscuits which we enjoyed the next morning for breakfast.
This is a picture of Lucy showing Gannie how to race in our front porch. This is one of her favorite activities to do right now and she was thrilled to be able to share it with Gannie.
Gannie and Lucy have always enjoyed special bath times together so Lucy enjoyed showing how things work here in Costa Rica with her Rubermaid bathtub.

Dressed up in our Sunday best
We are slowly getting adjusted to church here, although it is still really hard for us to hear a sermon that is not in our "heart" language. At our church that we have been attending here we sing for an hour, have 30 minutes of prayer and announcements, and then have a hour sermon. It has been encouraging to see how we have grown in our Spanish by how much of the sermon we actually are able to understand. The hardest part about Sundays is that they are very draining, and not the typical day of rest we are used to. It is exhausting trying to pay attention for a hour of Spanish.
Here we are the past two Sunday's heading out to church. Check out Lucy's new bow, she actually wore it all the way through church, and if you know Lucy, that is quite an achievement! By the way we don't always coordinate our outfits with Lucys', it just so happened that way these past few weeks.

Our little hooded girl
The past couple of days it has been raining non-stop here. It has been very dreary but it has made us all slow down and enjoy some R&R.
Here is Lucy enjoying a snack one day after her nap. She loves hoods right now and will walk around with it on all day long. In this picture she is making a "bulldog face". Lucy has become very expressive lately and loves making new faces, most morning we spend half of breakfast just goofing off and making faces at one another. Another thing to note in this picture is the presence of Pato and Patito (duck and little duck). She has become very attached to this little stuff animals and patito has to go with her every day to school. We almost lost patito this morning on our walk to school but thanks to our awesome teammate who searched for him in the rain he is saved!
Lucy's new favorite activity is to pretend play with all of her kitchen toys. She loves putting cups into one another, putting tops on things, pretend pouring, and stirring. It is really neat to see her little mind put things together and she her beginning to use her imagination in fixing dinner and then serving it to us, her stuff animals, or her baby dolls.
Here she is once again playing kitchen. The bottom drawer in the kitchen is filled with all her things and she loves to empty it out and play. It provides a very good distraction when I am trying to fix dinner.

It's a.......
healthy, very active, yet a little modest and uncooperative baby! We had a ultrasound today and due to the position of the baby, legs crossed and hands on his knees, we were not able to determine the sex. I was disappointed but we will have another ultrasound in a month and then it should be determined. When the doctor first looked at our baby he said he was 95% it was a boy but then the baby moved and it looked like it could have just been the umbilical cord that we saw so there you have it- the guess is yours :) We praise the Lord for a healthy and active child.
Weekends
After a long week at school we typically crash on the weekends. It is a great time for all of us to catch up on our sleep, e-mails, and have some fun family time.
Friday night Lucy enjoyed playing with Maddy and watching a little Elmo. Notice how tired everyone looks in this picture :)
On Saturday mornings we typically go to the Feria (Farmer's Market). Today we went to the park afterwards to feed the ducks (or patos as Lucy now calls them).
This is not a very good picture but it shows the beauty of this park. There is a waterfall behind Lucy which she loved to watch.

Lucy in the Park
These pictures were taken about a month ago to try to capture Lucy at 18 months. It was fun taking pictures of Lucy just playing at the park and being her fun loving self.
