I'm going this Saturday to the PMA(Professional Missionary Academy) graduation(in Italy)!!Yay! I'm real glad and excited that I get to go, as last year I did the course but couldn't attend the graduation!
It's so sweet how the Lord does these things for us and rewards us all in due time. :D
So we are guna be gone for a week ...we is Adrian, Andre, Mitch JM and I.
I hope we also get to see some of the sites in Rome, like the Colosseum. We are also going to stay right next to the beach for a few days....:D
Sniffle...Chockie isn't coming with us as he didn't do the course. It will definitely be the longest time we'll be apart since...since the fundrasing trip in Norway. sniff...it's going to be so weird...waking up and Chockie not being there. going to sleep and not cuddling him or being cuddled by him. Adrian is going to have to learn to be mighty cuddly.:P I know i sound all mushy and clingy, but i guess when you learn to share your life with another you share everything. Then when you are just you ...you feel...strange..naked... weird..etc! that's the best way i can describe it. yes, my describing skills could stand some improvement..lol , but I suppose you know what i mean. i'll miss you incredibly...my wuv!
Our sweet baby is teething!! well, its actually already been since the day we came here. It started on our trip. When he teethes he bites everything he can touch. He doesn't like biting his own fingers though, cuz it's too painful. Lol. He started drinking water from a glass cup recently...he loves it!
His new thing is squealing really loudly to get attention. He does it in the middle of a meeting or devotions...any time he knows he can get a smile or two.
When he lays on his stomach he lifts himself on his arms as high as he can and looks around at everything. He is such a curious baby. He looks people straight in the eyes and really tries to reply with whatever baby babble he can come up with.
He already started provisioning. We went to pick up the bread and one of the counter ladies walked by. He gave his winning smile and the lady returned with a big, fat, juicy nut cookie only to hand it over to me, to Adrian's dismay. We had a bit of an argument which was resolved quickly when he realized he didn't have any teeth yet. Anyhow, he received some in the milky so he realized that truly Romans 8:28 does apply, even for babies.
This morning in devotions he was looking at the pic of Jesus and staring. Then he began smiling and being super noisy, getting every conceivable sound out of his throat, disrupting the whole devotions and making everyone laugh. He went on for about 5 minutes with his animated conversation with Jesus till I had to take him out of the room.
He actually started laughing. last night I was being foolish with him and made a silly laugh and he started cracking up. Every time I laughed, he laughed. So adorable! He is growing up so fast!!
Reading his baby quotes
having fun in the jolly-jumper
yep! this is what toys are for!

outside our window on a rainy day (like my photography skills..??:D:D)
this pic is from last weekend that we spent in Zofingen. We made a fire and danced around it, went swimming, played basketball, and soccer, etc. Adrian and I were the cheerleaders.
*no, I have no idea who those goofy guys in the back are
Joy, my violin teacher...yes!! I'm learning violin! I've always wanted to learn and now I finally have the opportunity...yayyy!!!
this is of Adrian completely chewing up his jolly-jumper thingy*nevermind the vacuum cleaner in the back
We are now in the sky home! It's a nice home close to Zurich (in a lil village called Saland) in the hills, neighbors to the sheep and cows and a few llamas. Today Adrian saw a cow real close for the first time and he couldn't stop staring and started fussing when we left. He loves the color black as well as red. Those two colors always catch his attention.
this is the nice route we take for walks and hikes in the hill/mountains
the beautiful river we have a few steps from our house
the water is freezing...but I love it. in that way Chockie and I are total opposites. lol.

On the 15th of August our family reunion in Serbia ended and we drove by bus to Switzerland. We did so many fun things with you guys there and we miss you guys and think of you a lot! Adrian especially misses all his fun and entertaining aunties and uncles.
Thank you so much, mom and dad and all for letting us stay at your place and for making it so fun and enjoyable.
