New Company

We are super blessed to have Anders Mom here with us! 

The trip was long but she is here with us now,  and just in time to leave behind a snowstorm in Colorado and be present for a 5.9 aftershock her first night in Chile.  Praise the Lord she was so exhausted from her travels that she was able to sleep through the shaking... Anders and I woke up however, and were about to round up the troops and escape the building if necessary.  I suppose we are still a little jumpy from the whole ordeal.  We have been living in high stress for the past 2 months though, and having Sonja here is such a sweet blessing and breath of fresh air.  Thank you Lord!

We have been enjoying walks through our neighborhood and park, teaching mom how to play Canasta, taking her out for coffee at the mall, and driving through the beautiful Chilean countryside.  There are more adventures yet to be had, more games of Canasta to play, more cups of coffee to sip, and lovely strolls through the neighborhood in the crisp autumn air.  

Here are a few pictures and there will be more to come!

So glad for you company! Can NOT believe there was an aftershock her first night! But yes, praise the Lord she slept through it. Keep the pictures coming!
