Check out the Links on the right

We want to make sure you check out the links over on the right of the page and give you a little idea about what they are. Plus, we've added some new ones.

Kenny & Crystal Pierson are Jeremy's brother and his wife. They recently moved to Saipan to be missionary dentists for 6 years. They are loving it over there so far... and we can't wait to go and visit them.

Connan & Amanda Jerrard are friends of ours that live in Australia. Connan and Jeremy grew up together in Malawi, Africa. Connan & Amanda are pregnant with their first and just a couple months behind us. We are so excited for them and can't wait till we can also visit them in Cairns.

Jeremy & Wendy McGill are friends that live in San Diego, CA. Both Bibi and I went to Pacific Union College with Jeremy McGill. Jeremy & Wendy are also expecting, but this will be their second. Their first little girl, Kiley, is the most precious cutie imaginable.

Chad Ordelhiede grew up with Jeremy over in Malawi too. He and his awesome wife, Shoshanna, are missionaries to Guam where Chad works as a dentist and Shoshanna a dental hygienist. Chad has gotten into taking underwater photography and he is AWESOME!!! Check out some of these pictures... it will blow your mind.

Many of you know that Bibi and I run a private franchise from home. The name of our business is the Adoria Group (adoria means "Triumph" in old Greek). You can follow this link using the Access Code to check out the various products available from our site. We get paid to move product and are also always keeping our feelers out for anyone that is looking for a side income. We are able to sub-franchise and help others get going in their own business.

The contracting corporation for our private franchise is the Quixtar Corporation. This is an info site about the opportunity. We can also answer any questions anyone might have about what we do and how things work.

Enjoy checking out these links and check back often as we keep adding new links to the list.

24 weeks done... 16 more to go...

We have officially completed 24 weeks of pregnancy today!! Tomorrow (Monday), starts week 25, which means we have 16 weeks left. I know, I too get confused with the 9 month pregnancy, but the acutual pregnancy is 40 weeks... What?? Anyway, we have 4 months to go till the official due date which is February 6, 2006.

I (Daddy-to-be) think she will come out early... :-)

Bibi's belly is growing and little Baby Pierson is more active than ever! She loves to move back and forth in Mommy's tummy... I'm sure she's practicing for play time with Daddy in a few months.

As you can see, Bibi is looking more radiant than ever.



We went down to Saddleback Church yesterday for their Saturday-evening service and took these pictures while we waited for the service to start. We got some great pictures and we recieve a huge blessing from Rick Warren's sermon on "Caring for the sick".





Today is also Mother's Day in Argentina! So we talked to many friends and relatives today. It was great to catch up with some friends we haven't talked to in a while.

Anyway, here are two last pictures of the three of us :-)

Resumen en Castellano

Como ven aqui abajo, estos son nuestros hijos gatunos, Tsavi (gris, 4 anios) y Lexi (anaranjadita, 1 anio) ... son preciosos, no? Pero no se comparan con cuan preciosa va a ser nuestra nena. En una de las ultimas entradas pueden apreciar la ultima ecografia, donde ya se pueden ver algunos rasgos mas claramente. Gracias a Dios y segun el medico, la beba esta creciendo sin ningun problema. Por suerte todos los examenes estan apuntando a que todo esta en orden. Les cuento que la gorda patea todo el santo dia y tambien a la noche. Jer ya sintio varias pataditas y nos llena de emocion el pensar en el milagro de la vida que Dios nos ha regalado y que esta creciendo todos los dias. En este momento he empezado la semana 23 y en mas o menos cinco semanas vamos a hacernos una ecografia de 3D para poder ver al bebe en toda su gloria .... ya que para ese entonces se podra ver "a quien va a salir" y otros lindos detalles.
De paso, Ile, Lalo & Camila Burgos se mudaron a Redlands ayer, asi que estamos super contentos de tenerlos tan cerca! Jer los estuvo ayudando con la mudanza y yo con la comida y la verdad que va a ser muy lindo que nuestras nenas (Ile esta de 8 meses) jueguen juntas. Bueno gente, los queremos mucho, escribannos mas seguido! Un abrazo grande,

Our other "children"

I just realized that we have not posted pictures of our current "children". Tsavi started following us on a walk one day back in 2002. He has brought many good times to the family.

He usually has a very busy schedule each day. Here is a picture of Tsavi hard at work.



Then in 2004 Jeremy found little Lexi wedged up into the wheelwell of his car. She was a scared little cat, but has grown into a very talkative little member of our family.






As you can see, they get along very well. They are a little nervouse about the new member of the family that will be arriving soon... They are hoping the attention does not completely get taken away from them... We'll see about that.

Baby Pierson doing GREAT!!

We went to the Dr. on our regular monthly check up today and all is good with the little one. The heart beat was just pumping away at about 160 beats per minute. She also seems to have gotten the Ukranian blood from my side of the family... she seems to be doing Russian dances almost all day long... :-)

The Ultrasound are starting to show her little face. To help you see her in the picture below, she is looking straight ahead. You can see her little ear, forhead, nose and upper lip. The whispy thing in the middle is the umbilical cord. Her right arm is down along the bottom of the picture.



Here she is laying on her back, looking straight up. On the far left is her forhead, then her little nose, then lips and then the chin. The little object above her nose is her left hand.



Bibi is able to sleep a lot better these days and is feeling much better than she has so far in the pregnancy.

We are so blessed by all of you who are encouraging us a long this awesome journey. Keep checking back to see what we learn next!!

Strutting for the camera

After the party for Grandma, we went out to take some pictures of the most beautiful pregnant lady you will ever see...

At 21 weeks, Bibi is just drop-dead gorgeous



Since we were dressed up for the party, we both decided to strut our stuff for the camera. Look at the proud Daddy-to-be...



Mommy-to-be had her attitude turned all the way up too...



We can't wait to see little Baby Pierson strutting her stuff for the camera soon...

Grandma: As elegant as ever at 90

Today we celebrated Grandma Lucille Bieber's 90th birthday!!

Her actual birthday is tomorrow, Sept. 26, but we had a big bash for her with over 100 people showing up to celebrate such an awesome lady!!

Even Grandpa Beiber was looking his best!!



It was nice to see many relatives at the party. We caught up a little with cousin Allie Hanson.

Daddy felt the Baby move for the FIRST time!!!

Little Baby has been very active lately, choosing the night-time hours to get in her gymnastic workouts.

So just as we were drifting off to sleep last night, I had my hand on Bibi's tummy and little Baby started her workout. She was kicking and moving around and I could feel her with my hand!! What an amazing experience to feel my little baby living and moving around inside my beautiful wife's belly... God is truely an amazing creator to entrust us with such a HUGE responsability.

This is SOOO much fun!!
