Homeward
Hello everyone!
We find ourselves packing today, the 13th of May. Hard to believe how fast the time has gone. It has been one fun adventure after another, but now it is time to move forward, and come home.
We started this blog, more than anything, in order that people at home might be able to follow along, get to know Clara as she grew, and in some ways help us stay connected. Now we find ourselves telling people here in San Lucas that we have a blog for all of the same reasons. The friends and family we have developed here will be dearly missed, but we hope in many ways will be able to connect in the same way that our friends and family from the USA have stayed connected while we´ve been in Guatemala. Clara will keep growing, of course, and we will keep having adventures, God willing, so I imagine that, at least for now, we´ll keep this business going. Thanks again everyone for following along; your love and support have often been what kept us going when the going got tough. We can´t wait to see you.
Hasta pronto!
Dan, Lois, and la Clarita

Earthquake!
We were sitting in the living room today when the house started to shake for about 5-10 seconds. Turns out there was a somewhat major earthquake in Guatemala today. No worries, we´re fine.
In other news, Clara is pulling from sitting to standing and is quite certain that she is the center of the Universe.

Making Lists
As our time in San Lucas comes to a close, we find ourselves identifying parts of our ordinary daily life here that we will miss when we return to Minnesota. And a few parts we won't miss, too.
We will miss....
Walking Everywhere
The pila
(don't mind the little girl in front)
Tuc Tucs
(Most drivers are too young to be driving motorized vehicles.)

Eternal Spring
Godparents
The Church
Fresh Local Produce
