Hermanita
Alondra tiene un hermano mayor, que acaba de cumplir 4 años, y que la quiere muchísimo. No pasa un día sin que le diga: "Te amo mucho, Alondrita." (y derrita a su mamá : ) Estamos contentos de que se quieran y oramos para que sean muy buenos amigos siempre. Obviamente Timo tiene sus momentos en que preferiría que su mamá lo tuviera a upa a él y no a la hermana, pero por lo general está feliz con la nueva integrante. Acá unas fotos de los dos, y una de Alondra vestida de pirata para el cumple de Timo (más fotos del cumple aquí). ¡Me encantan mis hijitos!
....
Alondra has an older brother that just turned 4 years old, and that loves her a lot. Not a day goes bye without him telling her, "I love you, Alondrita!" (and making his mommy melt!) We are thrilled with so much love and pray they will be the best of friends for ever. Obviously Timo has some moments when he would prefer his mother to carry him instead of his sister, but in general he is happy with the new addition to the family.
Here are some pictures of them both, and one of Alondra dressed as a pirate for Timo's birthday party (more pictures of that here.) I love my little ones!

Fotos / Photos
Nuestra cámara dejó de funcionar hace ya muchos días, por eso la falta de fotos de Alondra. El otro día pudimos comprar una nueva, así que esperen ver muchas fotos porque vamos a tener que recuperar los días perdidos.
Our camera died days ago, and we were picture starved! We were able to buy another one, so expect pictures of Alondra to make up for the lost days!

PROVISION
Desde un principio supe que iba a escribir esta entrada, así que me alegra que hoy sea el día en el que puedo contales que ¡Dios proveyó todo el dinero que necesitamos para pagar la operación de Alondra! Y esto es una muestra más de que tenemos un Dios fiel, que siempre provee todo lo que necesitamos para hacer lo que él nos pide que hagamos.
Algunos nos preguntaron cuánto salió todo. El costo, redondeado, de la cirugía y el hospital fue de U$17.000 dólares. Sabíamos que nuestro seguro médico no cubría nada de esto, al igual que sabíamos que Dios si lo iba a cubrir.
Estamos TAN agradecidos a tantos de ustedes que ofrendaron y dieron sacrificialmente para que Alondra pueda ser operada. Nosotros estamos maravillados por tanto amor y tanto apoyo. Sabemos que todos los que dieron lo hicieron para el Señor y que él les va a recompensar, y con generosidad.
El Señor proveyó todo lo que necesitamos. Además de la plata para la operación nos dió un lugar y un auto en Singapur, los mejores médicos en la región (¡sin cargo!), una abuela para que nos cuidara, oraciones y aliento de muchísima gente, paz y fe cuando las cosas no iban bien, todas las cosas de bebé que podríamos llegar a necesitar, y una cantidad enorme de amor para darle a nuestra hija. Y la lista podría seguir. ¡No hay ningún otro dios cómo nuestro Dios!

I've been knowing I was going to write this post since this all started, so I'm glad today is the day when I can tell that God has provided for all the costs of Alondra's surgery! And I'm sharing this as a declaration that we have a faithful God, who will always provide for what he has asked us to do.
Some of you have asked how much was it. In round numbers, the cost of Alondra's surgery and hospital stay was about U$17,000. We knew from the start our insurance was not covering any of it, but we also knew God was going to provide.
We are SO grateful to so many of you who have contributed to this. Friends from all over the word gave sacrificially and it has been amazing and humbling to be on the receiving end. We know you all gave as for the Lord, and we know He will reward you!
God has indeed provided. Besides the money to pay for the operation He also provided with a place to stay in Singapore, a car to drive, the best doctors in the region (at no charge!), a grandma to look after us, prayers and encouragement from many, many people, peace and faith when things didn't look good, all the baby things and clothes we ever needed, and so much love to pour on our baby girl. This list could go on and on. There is no other god like our God.
