Some BIG News and some little News

WE ARE PREGNANT!! Baby Roberts #2 is due sometime in early March. We are thrilled!! Zane says he wants a sister. We are just eager for a healthy "little one". Beth is extremely nauseous and tired. Please pray for her to continue to learn Spanish well and to be able to do the simple things throughout her day. Beth is also having some complications with her thyroid. She is seeing a specialist this Wed. the 28th. Please pray for wisdom for the doctor and peace for Beth.
We have a new apartment. We are on the top left. It is completely new and actually still needs some paint on the outside. There are 2 bedrooms and a small office space. The neighborhood is very quiet with a great park only 4 blocks away. We feel very blessed to have our own space. We thank God for the wonderful experiences that we had meeting people and staying in homes the past year. We truly were never 'without'. God met all of our needs.
Lucia has been a great friend to our family helping us with visa stuff, knowing where to buy things, and helping Beth learn to cook some traditional Argentine food. Here Lucia is helping Beth cook humita! Totally yummy!!!
Zane is in his 'boat' on his way to Colorado to visit his cousins. He is looking at their superhero book and all of their pictures. Too cute!

David has gone on a few hikes up the foothills with some other guys who like to hike. It is peaceful for David and a great way to have 7+ hours of language practice!! What a beautiful view.
Zane loves having adventures in the garden. We go through at least 3 outfits a day:) Things grow like crazy here. I heard you can put a broom handle in the ground and it will sprout. We'll have to try that in the spring.

Zane had a fun play date with Contanza (age 3). This is just a little bit of their silliness!!
