These two kiddos have gone from essentially being an only child to the youngest of six in just a couple months! Please pray for them and us as parents during this transition.

Our good friends from pre-married days Aaron and Michelle Stoller scheduled a couple days with us in June. We had a wonderful time with them and the kids enjoyed spending time with them as well! Thanks you two for making time for us!

Visiting KS post wedding

dcoughli@gmail.com (Daniel & Tamra Coughlin) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 03:20:45 GMT

After a week in MI and a night at Neal & Kim's, we headed back to Kansas for a couple days before flying back to Mexico. This was a restful couple days, which was much needed! Kaeb entertained himself quite well in the car seat with his book (thanks to his Kellenberger cousins for passing it on to him!), giraffes (one soft for cuddling and one for chewing), and a couple new toys from Grandma Coughlin!

We put our feet up and took some naps while we were in Kansas--much different than our first pass through! We also took a night and headed to Nebraska with Mathew & Kaitlyn and my parents to visit a vineyard and pizzeria. Mom & Dad treated us to some fun wine-tasting and delicious pizzas!

Desert Gardening

dcoughli@gmail.com (Daniel & Tamra Coughlin) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:09:49 GMT

We planted a garden again this year. It's our third new climate to work with and significantly different than Michigan, Kansas, or Kentucky! This year we built watering trenches and planted along the edges of the trench. It was quite a bit of work, but thankfully we had special guests to help with the labor, Jason & Maggi :) Thanks to them and my wonderful husband (as I was often tending Kaeb and not much help!) we got tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, beans, corn, and cucumbers planted. We have cabbage and more spinach ready for a fall crop. Lord willing, we hope to can and freeze our own veggies again this year and I cannot wait! Now if only we stay faithful to all the watering that will be necessary, our first desert garden will hopefully grow and produce!! I'm sure we have much to learn--such as how best to get a straight trench :)

Changes to Family & Home

dcoughli@gmail.com (Daniel & Tamra Coughlin) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:08:36 GMT

God continues to lead us and provide us with the needed strength and grace to embrace each change in our life. Our most current change, and a very exciting one, is formally inviting the 5 Arcoverde siblings into our family to live with us on CVE campus in the new house once construction is done. We already love these kids and look forward to our future with them!

Alexia is the oldest at 12, followed by her brother Ramses who is 10, followed by a sister Nereida who is 8, followed by Jose at 6 and Gloria at 2 is the youngest, though Kaeb will be taking her place at the tail end now :)

We are very thankful for their excited reciprocation of being part of our family and continue to pray that God will help us all in the adjustments that will take place this summer for us and Kaeb, the 5 kids, their current caretakers, and the other children they currently live with.

This album introduced you to our new kids and the construction that is taking place on our new home--very quickly I might add thanks to our kind, hard-working, team from Washington, IL. May God be glorified through it all because it is all His doing.

Neal & Kim time!

On our drive to and from Michigan, we got to pop in on Neal & Kim, Cailer, Brock & Jaci. The 2nd trip our departure got delayed a bit so we decided to go to VBS with them at their church and spend the night. It was a wonderful few "stolen" hours!! Thanks Neal & Kim for taking us in last minute. We love you guys and cherish all our moments with your family!
