Chiara & Co...

I just realized that we have been going to the beach almost every day. It's become our favorite get-out. And I haven't mentioned it on the blog. So here it is! The water is beautiful and the girls are really learning to swim. I'm so thankful that the Lord has given us this wonderful way to channel their energies, not to mention how healthy it is.

Ok,I have to start by saying that I know I look terrible and believe me I hate taking pics of myself and much more, posting them!But there is a specific reason I'm doing it.This is a gift to Jesus! He has done so many miracles in my life lately. Dreams, that I thought were in my drawer forever, have been coming true before my very eyes. Without me even asking. So It's only fair that I let everyone know how happy He's made me. At first I thought I would just be writing about it but then someone wanted to catch the moment and took this picture of me.I would have usually said,no,that's what I always do! But it was someone I was witnessing to so didn't want to make a huge deal about it,how smart the Lord is.And when the pic came out I even saw that the sun was shining behind me. So He's even given me the proof to show you all how wonderful He is. Just when you think it's over He whists you away to a new dimension and there arriving you are sure of bliss!!I know there will be many more moments of distress in my life but I hope this lesson will help me not to despair again! And besides,we often go on and on about our difficulties but then when a ray of light shines through the clouds we overlook it thinking of all the clouds that are yet to come!I want to testify of this ray of light and wish it many times over to you all!!

This one is just for fun!On one of our trips Natalia was looking so adorable we had to immortalize it!!Enjoy!!

Here are the girls again!It's been a month now that they go visit this lady. Her name is Lidia and she has an art association for children with beautiful workshops! She is an AM of the home here!The girls love her because she's always so sweet,encouraging and patient. Besides, they love the kind of art she teaches them. They work with clay, paper,paint and all kinds of materials. They've made beautiful things which I'm going to photograph and then post for all to see! Grandma and Aunties, should be proud!!!

I've been trying so hard to update my blog but just haven't had the time!We went for a week on the road to a beautiful island called Rab!The witnessing was very inspiring. The girls had so much fun. We camped out in this campground that was right on the beach!We're all super tanned now!ha! I think it's the first time ever we get so tanned!Then we took this nice little ride on a boat that took us to the famous prison island "Goli Otok". It was a communist gulag for political prisoners that Tito built after the 2nd WW. The island is beautiful but of course the atmosphere is very sad. Overall it was an interesting experience the terrible thing is that the batteries of the camera ran out right at the beginning of the trip and believe it or not there was nowhere to buy them so if you want to see pics of the place you can go on the website called "Goli Otok" and there you can also find all the info about the place.So these are our recent news. Sorry,that I don't have anything to show for all of these nice places but will be trying to make up for it soon. At least I managed to keep you informed on a few things and I guess its better than nothing!!
