Bibbins Family in Ecuador!

We were so delighted to host ALL of the Bibbins family members - Oma, Opa, Auntie Krissy, Uncle Gboyega, Cousin Stephen, Uncle George, and Auntie Alisa. What fun it was to have them all here, even if just for a short time. We look forward to seeing them all back some time in the future.

Here's a picture of the clan in gorgeous Mojanda...

Toured the Historic Center of Quito:

Went on lots of hikes







And just hung out.

What fun!! We are so happy to have had this time together!

Tio y Tia!

We were so delighted to have Andy and Rebekah (Santiago's brother and sister-in-law) visiting last week. It was great to have them here, catch up, show "our" country, and just spend some time with dear people. The boys were delighted to spend more time with them (OK - Jacob was, and Timmy was just happy to have another couple sets of arms). Jacob continues to go to the guest bedroom and say "Aaaandeeee. Beca."

After a couple days in Quito, we had a great time hiking along Laguna Mojanda, a couple hours north of the city. It was beautiful, secluded, and remote.



Most importantly, we hope to Andy and Rebekah back again soon!!
