Summer!

Hello! If you've been waiting the last 2 months to see pictures of our foster baby, you're in luck! If you're hoping for shots of the exciting island adventures we've had in that time, you won't find them :) The main excitement in our lives now is our little Chamorro Cherub.

There she is, a whopping 10 weeks and 13 pounds of cuteness.

Although... she does have an occasional bad mood.

A. listens avidly as Chris teaches her about the important things in life, like cheese and rock climbing.

Two separate takes on the Toby Keith concert we went to! 

Sometimes we wonder what schemes are going on in that little brain. Perhaps ridding the world of large floral headbands?

Fun with friends on Memorial Day. Chris plays to win, baby or no baby!

We are so thrilled to announce our first visitors on Guam...Chris' parents, MaryAnn (Neeñia) and Steve (JoePop). They were wonderful guests for a week long stay. What a blessing to share our foster daughter with some family!

Neeñia captivated A. from day one. And vice versa!

As for A. and JoePop -- best buds! 

Some real troopers finishing up an unexpectedly difficult hike.

Family shot from hike #2. (Check out my oh-so-feminine guns...thanks for that, baby girl.)

Chris recently discovered that A. is a huge fan of standing. A whole new perspective on the world!

For Chris' 26th birthday, I made him a chalkboard from scratch! We agree that I will probably enjoy using his gift more than he will.

One of Chris' gifts was this new dress for A. 

Thanks for viewing! Don't hesitate to leave comment...we would love to hear from you! Even though posts are few and far between these days, you can sign up for an email alert when we publish a new post. 

Sending lots of love from Guam!
