Micah is here!

Well, our sweet baby boy, Micah Carlton Barrett, has arrived!! He was 7lbs 6oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He is just perfect and we are all in love with him! The boys are doing so great with him--always wanting to hold him or help me with him. It has been so much fun to see them with their new baby brother! I am feeling well--still pretty sore but this is to be expected with a c-section. We arrived back in Jaco last night and are trying to get back in to aroutine. Thanks so much for all of your prayers for us--we felt so covered the morning of and it was so evident that we had many praying. Here are a few pictures of our sweet boy...

Thursday is the day!!!

So we have now arrived at the week of Micah's birth!!! We are so excited as we prepare for Thursday. I have a scheduled c-section for Thursday at 9:30AM our time (11:30 EST) and we would really appreciate all of your prayers. Daniel's parents are flying in the night before the birth to help us with the boys during our stay in San Jose. We will be having baby in San Jose at a private hospital (about 1 1/2 hours from where we currently live). We will stay in San Jose by the hospital until Monday. PLEASE pray for us--for the c-section, for Micah's health, for the doctors and nurses, for Daniel's parents safe arrival, and that we would be a witness to all we meet in the hospital this week. We love you and thank you for all of your support!! Here are a few pictures of the boys with the big belly....

Happy Boy

There is a family in INVU that we work with and the mom, Carmen, has helped us with kids club for a couple of years. They are very special friends to us and we love them dearly. While the mission team was here, we were identifying needs in the community to help with and one was a new bed for her son, Segundo. The four of them live in a cabina (one room), which is pretty common, but they all sleep together because they don't have another bed nor the space for one. The team didn't have time to build a bed for them so Daniel decided to build him a trundle bed last week. It was such a fun project and God provided materials/money to purchase a mattress at a VERY discounted price all in one day. It was amazing to see His provision and even more special to see the excitement on Segundo and his family's faces when Daniel was putting it in place. Carmen, his mom, said he didn't want to get up the next morning because he loved his little bed so much! Such a little thing that blessed in such a big way...here are pictures of the finished project...
