The Graefs Abroad: December 2008
http://graeffamily.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2008. Christmas Time in Costa Rica. We have celebrated Christmas several times already having various parties and activities with friends and missionary family. We started the month with a trip to the Christmas tree farm to purchase a tree. Olivia wanted to wear her Santa's hat, Abby had just lost another tooth, and we were all excited to get our tree until. we saw that the prices for trees had doubled this year!

The Graefs Abroad: January 2010
http://graeffamily.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 9, 2010. Well, not having internet. In the house for a while in Costa Rica really affected our internet. Most of you know by now that we returned to the US about a month ago to reapply for residency under the new laws for Costa Rica. Most recently, this involved us travelling to Washington D.C. this week to have all of our documents sealed by the consulate's office. Funny how they required both of us to come in person yet never checked ID's. While we were there! Links to this post.

Sunday, October 5, 2008. Baptisms at Jardin Sagrado. Here is a short slideshow of some of the activities and the baptisms we had at the camp in Orosi Valley. We had a Family Day on Sept. 27 where we celebrated the baptisms of 6 individuals, Carlos, Francini, Sylvia, Kodo, Vernon, and Kelly. Dave had to make the file a bit smaller but hopefully you can still enjoy the photos! Sunday, October 05, 2008. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Paraiso de Cartago, Costa Rica.

Wednesday, June 17, 2009. This month we celebrated Abby's 7th Birthday! Where does the time go? We took a group of Abby's friends to the Museo de Niños, a.k.a. the Kid's Museum to celebrate her birthday in style! I could hardly keep up with the group, being the group photographer! Below is a picture of Abby with her friend Isabel. Here's the gang in front of the kid's museum entrance, with Olivia. Abby posing on the letter "A". Isabel on tin can stilts. A fun day at the museum! Wednesday, June 17, 2009.

The Graefs Abroad: April 2009
http://graeffamily.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2009. March has come and gone without an entry! We also had airline tickets we had to use from last year's mess up with immigration, so overall, this was a pretty inexpensive vacation - what a blessing! Three generations of Graef men - Aidan, Ron, and Dave spending the day at Epcot! The Graef girls - we spent the day at Magic Kingdom! Here we are on the balcony of our condo in Orlando - a chilly and unseasonable 38 degrees! Wednesday, April 01, 2009. Links to this post.

The Graefs Abroad: November 2008
http://graeffamily.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. The lodge also runs a lecheria, or dairy farm and had many animals on site to enjoy. Below is a picture of the sheep waiting to be milked. Since they don't give a lot of milk, the cheese is rather expensive, about $10 a pound! This little guy was an orphan sheep that escaped and couldn't find his way back into the fence. Once we caught him, we gave him a few strokes and put him back with the others. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Links to this post. Thursday, November 6, 2008.
