Our daughter Genna has returned to us!
Although she is thrilled to be back with us, the past few weeks have been hard as she adjusts to Mexico again.
In her words, "I enjoyed my time stateside greatly! Being with my American friends and family was just fantastic. Coming back to Mexico...that was a bit rough. God has given me a peace in both places though. So i fully intend to enjoy my time here, soaking up the Son, and learning to serve(although giggling with my sisters all night isn't half bad either!)."

In case you haven't heard, we now have two little boys in the Home with us. Julio is seven and Dañel is ten months. This means that the "five Rameys" no longer exist. It's seven! Learning to fit two more into our life has been strange, difficult and and plain delightful. The girls love their new brothers(most of the time) and Tod is a great example to these little men. Being a mom to a baby is a little crazy(sleep deprivation ring a bell with anyone???) and boys have LOTS of energy. We don't know how long we will have them, but we hope God's love for them is evident each day with us.

What a great young man we've had staying with us for the past few weeks. Tom Grabaskas(sixteen year old from Virginia) is on his second trip here with us. Along with having a servants heart and being super helpful, he fits right in this wacky family. We love ya Tom!

Prayer Requests:
-That Julio(seven year old) will continue growing and learning in this safe, mostly stable environment.
-That Tod and I can be godly, consistent parents to all the "gifts" in our busy home.
-For God to speak to the hearts of these little ones.
-For the girls and I to get some sleep! Each of the girls takes turns helping me with the baby during the night. This counts towards home ec, right? :)
