Penny Park

While Nana was still here we enjoyed visiting Penny Park in Chehalis. Grace always asks to go to the 'slider place' and was so excited~ After visiting the 'slider', we headed over to the local farmer's market and purchased some delicious produce for dinner makings.

River Fun with Nana

Nana came for a visit and the children talked her into braving the rapids with them! They trekked down to the river for some fun and cooling off. Mama and Laura stayed at home, enjoying the a/c and the quiet house! :)

♥ Introducing Miss Laura Jean ♥

1 Day Old

She was born on July 10, 2010 at 5 pounds, 13 oz and 19 inches long with blue eyes and BLONDE hair! A first for the McDonald family~ :) Her Mama is still convinced she just came to us as a towhead since she will eventually be a Belize baby, Lord willing!

A Sad Week~

It has been months since I have blogged.. I wonder if I will even remember how to do it! :) This past week we have have found out that our business plans for Belize have all but fallen apart. We were waiting for our precious Laura to be born, receive her passport and then we were scheduled to be gone. Rental in Belize already in place, most of our belongings sold.. warm winter clothes donated to thrift stores.. Then comes the news that we are not moving. At least not yet. So much seems so up in the air. And yet there is peace.


The house which we have been renting in Belize.. our dearest friends, the Banmans and the Friesians have been caring for it for a few months now..



Now our family has to make some decisions.. can Grady support us down there without the income from the business? Does the Lord want us down there and if so, for what reason? We only want to be used of him. To be his servants in whatever capacity he has. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to pray and seek his will for our family. ♥


Our sweet friends~
