3 of Our Many Blessings.......

We are so blessed with 3 beautiful and healthy children!
We have had some many changes since August 2008. We started in Richmond, VA for mission training. It was the first time for our kids to be in any kind of daycare. Avery was only 4 months old. Believe me, that first day I was not the only mama crying having to leave their baby for the first time. I was able to walk back and forth to feed her though. Then in October of 08' we moved to Costa Rica to go to a language school. We were there until August of 09'. It seemed like forever at the time but now seems like it just flew by. We had all of Avery's 1st there. Her learning to crawl, walk, Thanksgiving, Christmas and even her birthday. We made so many friends there and so did Cooper. He hated having to tell all of his friends bye. We then came to Guadalajara, Mexico and this is where God has currently called us to be until August of 2011. We even were blessed of giving birth to little Aslyn here. Her mexican name is Ashlyn Kate Mercer Mercer. That is right, two last names. Since Lacey was not on my passport, because we take our husbands last name in the states, she had to go by Mercer twice.
But here are a few cute pics of our little blessings!




She still has the cutest face when she is upset!
Please PRAY for our little blessings as they are always dealing with change. Cooper is more and more confused as he has had to deal with death recently of my grandfather and Darin's father. As teams come and you make friends with them and then they leave. As the Ostertag famiy, a family also serving here, leave for stateside next week for six months. Cooper plays great with their little girl and I know he is going to miss her so much. Then the Haynes family is leaving us for an entire year! They will basically be gone almost our entire last year. When they get back we would be leaving about three weeks after they return. So please PRAY for our kids as they deal with change so often. They truly don't understand the meaning of a "missionary kid."
