Update and pictures of a really cute baby

















...and she´s had enough!




All is well here. I once again was sick for the past few days from something I ate. That’s the third time since I’ve been home from visiting my family in May. It’s really starting to get old. Anyway, I’m feeling better now and finally back to eating again. I’ve been tutoring a brother and sister in English 3 days a week for 2 hours a day which has been keeping me a little busy. The kids are finishing up classes this week here so they will be out of school soon for the summer.

Fiona is doing really well. She is 6 months old today. I can’t believe she’s already half a year old! She is getting the hang of sitting up and although she still falls over a lot she insists on sitting most of the time. We have also started letting her try a few foods. So far she has tasted banana, chayote (it’s like squash) and broccoli. She loved the banana, liked the broccoli and spit out the chayote. She only eats a few bites of each food and I’m only giving her one new food a week. Although, she hasn’t had anything this week because of her mom being sick. Her hair is really starting to grow fast. The top, sides and back have really thickened and are starting to get a tiny bit longer. Just this week several people have mentioned to me how fast her hair is growing all of a sudden. I think Fiona has noticed too. Just yesterday and today she has started running her hands through it while she nurses.

Elias is also doing well. He finished his second job on the 5th of July so things should be slowing down a little bit for him. Fiona and I will appreciate getting to spend more time with him. One month now until his appointment. We are continuing to pray that it will go well.

As always thank you for your prayers and support. Miss you all and are anxiously waiting to hear if we will get to see you soon!

Katie, Elias and Fiona
