An Update

Well, a lot has been going on and I've been terrible about updating this...

First things first...Lucy is now 10.5 weeks old and she is absolutely adorable. Case in point:

She's growing slowly but surely and it's kind of embarrassing how small she is right now. But she will grow into a medium-sized dog.

Also, Laura (my sister) was here and that was super fun. We went to Arenal Volcano where there are natural hot springs. Here's a pic:

And to the rainforest where we did ziplines...another pic.

We also went to Playa Cocles on the Caribbean side which was lovely.

It's been raining like crazy since we got hit by Tropical Storm Alma last week...my poor sister probably think Costa Rica has the worst weather ever.

We are a bit spoiled after being in Malawi which really did have the BEST weather ever. It would rain for like two hours a day in the rainy season which lasted about four months. Here, it rains every day for lots of hours (four or more) and the rainy season is 8 MONTHS!!! I'm not complaining though...I could live in Chicago which would probably be worse weather - at least from November - March. And, it's predictable anyway...right?
