Bibi & Bri's Argentina Trip

Bibi and Brianna took a 3 week trip down to Argentina so Bibi's family could meet little Bri. Needless to say, Daniel & Ivรณn (Bibi's parents) were extatic to meet their first grandchild. (Remember you can click on the pictures to see them bigger.)



They had a great time shopping in Buenos Aires, Brianna never far from Grampa's arms.



Grandma loved holding her little "Poupet" (French for "Doll") at the National Book Fair in Buenos Aires.



Brianna had a great time playing with her Uncle Rony. Not only is he a recent grad from medical school, he's also a huge soccer fan and taught her several chants for the World Cup in June.



Of course, it's always special to go to Great Grandma's house, and Brianna just had the best time with her and was very spoiled being the first Great Granddaughter.



There were so many people to meet. Here is a picture with Sandra, Uncle Rony's girlfriends.



Bibi stayed at her best friend Jenni's house. Jenni's husband, Christian, really had a special bond with Brianna. They got along so well. It was really hard for him to see Brianna leave.





Bibi & Brianna had some nice time with Marcelo & Adriana Simi and their two daughters Agustina & Martina. Marcelo was Jeremy's roommate and is the one who introduced him to Bibi. After graduating from medical school he did his masters in teaching and is almost done with his PhD in research. He is is teaching at the School of Medicine at River Plate University and is Adriana is a nurse at Del Plata Adventist Hospital.



Here is their first daughter Agustina.



It was great for Brianna to meet the Piro Family. Elbio Piro (on the left) grew up as a missionary kid with Daniel in Peru. They've been best friends since. Their oldest son, Martin (below on the right) has a daughter now. Her name is Paulina and she just turned 1.



Everyone just fell in love with Brianna. She's being held by Martin and Marcos and they are totally enamored by her too.



The whole family was there to meet Brianna. Here is Nidia, but we don't have pictures of the two boy's wives.



We'll post more pictures when we get more organized...

Brianna loves to read

Here's a quick video of Brianna reading with Grampa on Saturday, April 29, at almost 3 months old. She loves to read and enjoys reading time with Mommy every day. Turning the pages is a new step for her. The music in the background is one of Selah's african songs. They are a great group that we've seen in concert several times.

Have fun watching...

Hanging out... Quality time

We had a great day with the Kangs on Sunday, April 30. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, P.F. Changs , and then just spent some time hanging out.



Little Zane is just as cute as ever!



Of course, Brianna was just as intrigued as ever with all the stuff going on around her. She is such a sponge taking in everything. If she ever gets too board, her bib says what she wants...





Here's a quick picture we took on Sunday, May 7, 2006. Our little angel...
