After our 5 weeks in the States, we returned refreshed and ready to start the year. This year we have a longer break before teams started and we were soaking that in with the kids before they started back to school.

We love flying through the Atlanta airport. This was a really cool Coca-Cola race car. Leyton loved it! |
After we got back, it was time to give some of the gifts we brought our friends.

Sofia and Sebastian got a 5 pound Hershey bar! They were speechless, but I think his face says it all! |

Our Costa Rican daughter, Nelly, also received a gift from a supporting church. It was such a blessing for her. |
Coming back after being in the cold, dreary, overcast weather in the States, it was not hard to adjust back to the beauty that is Costa Rica.

The views of mountains and the Central Valley |
When we returned, the front wall to Phase 2 was finished and the sidewalk out front! It was such a blessing to see it finally finished!

11 bottles of reusable Coca-Cola bottles that we have collected throughout the team season--who knew we even had space for all of them! |
Upon our returns, it is always fun to go shopping and see what new imported items they have at PriceSmart (like a Costco)

I'm sure he thought Bruce made the heart for him...but no, it was for me! |
2020 is a time to start new things.
