I'm just TOO CUTE!!!!

3 months, 17 days

When Bibi's away...

Jeremy goes out to play...

When Bibi went to Argentina, Jeremy had a chance meeting with Clayton Green, a reptile collector in the Seattle area. This is his albino python. She weighs in at 175 lbs and in 13 ft. long.

Brianna's Dedication

We had the pleasure of arranging a dedication for Brianna the first Sabbath in Argentina. Pastor Gerardo Ganeau, who was also Jeremy's Men's Dean when he started dating Bibi back in 1995, gave the blessing. It was just a very special day.



Everyone was looking their best...

There was a special catered lunch after church for 30 of our closest freinds and family.

When Bibi and Brianna got to La Villa, Jenni had decorated their spare room for Brianna. So special...



Brianna got some special time with Grandma Ivon.



Bibi and Brianna had the privilage of being in Arg. for Ivon's birthday on May 25. The cake was awesome and they had a great day at Iguazu Falls.



Here's a good-looking Mommy, 3 1/2 months after giving birth... Oh, Iguazu Falls are also really nice.



Uncle Rony carried little Bri all through the jungle around the falls.



What a beautiful view of Iguazu Falls.



One of Bibi's childhood friends, Cintia, visited from Paraguay to meet Brianna and for Bibi to meet her little daughter, Camila.



This is Lautaro, a little boy that attends Alta Gracia SDA School, the school that Daniel works at. It costs just $150 per year to send him to school, so we are sponsoring him to study. If anyone is interested in joining us to help worthy students get a good Christian education, please contact us.



Here is Grandpa Daniel showing Brianna what it will be like to fly with G'pa Ken in his plane.



And Mommy took Bri on her first carrousel ride in Buenos Aires.



Brianna got to fly home in style with her own airplane crib on American Airlines from Bs. As. to Dallas, TX. It was time to get some rest after a great 3 weeks meeting family and friends.

Perky Bri at 4 1/2 months of age! So cute!

 

Jeremy's first Father's Day

On Jeremy's first Father's Day Brianna put on a show standing up by holding Daddy's hand. We've been practicing standing up and she gets so proud of herself when we stands up.

We spent the afternoon at the Yucaipa Regional Park relaxing and playing in the water.

You can't get any better than Daddy's two angels together on Father's Day...

A spectacular Thai dinner just made the day all that much more special. And Brianna sat up in a high chair for the first time.

There couldn't be a better way to celebrate a first Daddy's Day.

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 & Ivón (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...

It's a small world

When we were taking our birthing classes there was this couple that looked familiar, but we didn't think anything of it. Then after the last class, we find out that Diana is from Argentina and went to medical school at the same university as Bibi attended. We have tons of mutual friends and their son, Zane, was born 3 days after Brianna.

We are so excited about our new friendship with HP & Diana (check out their blog to the left). Brianna is also glad to have another friend.
