Um, so we found out today that the snakes we have are not pythons after all. Sound like good news? It's not. They are actually a rare kind of poisonous snake. And you thought we were creeped out before... Steve arranged for 4 guys to come here 1st thing tomoro am to help him track down the mommy and all the babies. Please pray they can find all of them!!!

In other news, Ben has had a rough day. First, we were crossing the lake in a boat to the village today, and the kids were out on the front with Steve. Well, he got talking, and they got scooting, and then suddenly Ben got bumped right over the edge!!! He managed to grab on to the edge until Kayla was able to grab ahold of him, then Steve was there within another few seconds. Poor little guy was shaking like a leaf for an hour afterwards - so was I though!

Zach's cut was looking great this morning, but then he managed to get hit by a basketball in the village today and split part of it open again. Actually, the original cut stayed closed (that glue is good stuff!), but it split open another little part. The thing that concerns me the most with this one is infection since it was several hours before we could clean it properly. We cleaned it thoroughly once we got home, and put some more glue over it. Looks good again now, and he will not be going near any flying balls for a while! Please pray for no infection!!!

As we arrived home, Ben suddenly started crying -- excruciating pain in his lower abdomen. Took him to the dr (for a check up for his ear infection), and he is on some meds to help what we think is gas pain. If he is still hurting tomoro, then we will be trying to do stool/urine samples in the midst of the snake hunt. The adventure never ends around here!

Wow, it's just one thing after another for you guys right now... We'll be praying for Ben's tummy to feel better and Zach's cut to heal well. And also that you guys can get rid of those snakes that have invaded your house. Keep us posted!
Jacob and I were just talking that it always seems to be something, huh? I would be completely freaked out by the snakes! We are thinking about you guys on all the things you mentioned!
You guys are the most boring friends we've ever had!!! If I hadn't lived in Bicol for almost 6 years, I'd think you were making all this up! LOL. Seriously, we are praying for all your "issues" right now.
As much as we enjoyed Tuesday, it was so hard to say goodbye again. I was doing ok until the boys started hugging each other through the chain link fence! After a few tears I regained my composure. Anyway, all that to say that we love you and miss you terribly!
