Here is one of our last posts for 2018!
Check out what we were up to in November! Our life in photos....ENJOY!
 |
| Leyton had a "Halloween" party at Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practice! (he went as a jiu-jitsu fighter!) |
At the beginning of November, Bruce was invited to be a part of a relay run team from San Jose to Puntarenas (over 100 miles total)
 |
| Bruce was the 7th leg and ran through the night |
 |
| Crossing finish line as a team! |
 |
| Normal....lazy dogs |
Bruce and Leyton have been working on a father-son project of building a drift trike. This is what they have so far--they are missing a few parts, especially the rear axle!
 |
| A boy can dream! |
Since August, the kids have been working on earning their own money for when we go to Universal Studios in December. They did odd jobs and helped around the house to earn $1 for $1 up to $100! They completed it and now have the right to buy whatever they want with their $100!
 |
| Both of them with their completed Universal Bucks! |
 |
| Our friends' got a kitten....and Emme was in love! |
|
Emme started playing volleyball on a league with Hope Ministries. She has only been to a couple of practices, but she is smitten!

She also graduated from Infantil swimming team to Juvenil (juniors to teens). Which also means that she will move from indoor competitions to "open swim" competitions.

Emme also celebrated her birthday with her fellow students for their semi-annual birthday celebration

One night we got to enjoy dinner and a show. The kids were continuing their game of chess while finishing dinner! It was fun to watch them strategize!

The end of November also marked the 6th grade graduation trip for Emme. Her and I went to the Punta Leona for 3 days and 2 nights. We had a good time and got to do a lot of fun stuff with her class mates!

Leyton went to a birthday party to play "fut-pool" soccer-pool with your feet. It was pretty cool!

We always do Thanksgiving here at the AP and we always do it good! We had 2 deep fried turkeys and lots of fixin's!
 |
| So much yummy food! |
Also on Thanksgiving Day, we said good bye to one of our kids/friends in the Children's homes. Yamil left with his family after spending Thanksgiving lunch with us! Bittersweet!

At the end of November, the church, La Comunidad Cristiana El Faro celebrated it's anniversary with a special church service!
 |
| Awesome at night! |
And we finished out the month with yet another birthday party for one of Leyton's friends. It was a pool party!

November was a busy month for our family--and we are so thankful for you to share it with us!
