Hi! this is Anna. We are are still traveling beautiful America! I just got internet in the truck, so I thought I would post a few pictures that I took on my cell phone. Hope you enjoy! :)

These are my good morning flowers from my husband. I thought they were pretty!

Then we just left beautiful California. We had a really fun day at the beach! Everybody got burried int he sand. :) Honey loved digging in the sand! :) I know I looked miserable, but I wasn't, the sun was just in my eyes.I thought the sunset on the pacific was beautiful!

WE really enjoyed California. We stayed close to the coast, so the weather was perfect the whole time, sunny with a slight breeze. The Orange groves, vineyards and strawberry fields were awesome! Then we bought and eat fresh oranges, grapes and strawberries while we were there. mmm... they were so good!

WEll, last but not least.... for those of you that don't know... We are expecting a baby in April! We are really excitwed!

WE are in Arizona now. I will be back in a few hundred miles with more pictures!  ~Nick & Anna~

Home Sweet Home

  Since I last wrote I have been to El Salvador for a week on a mission trip with my Granny, Done a couple more deliveries, Went to Texas to visit Andy with Jess, Helen & Katie, & now at last I get to be home for a while. It's been so nice to ride my horse, milk the cow, go to music lessons with Meri & Joy, to go to Woodbury & run into people you know or swing by to say "Hi".  It has all been nice & I thoughly enjoy all that I am able to do these days!!!!! I thank the Lord for his loving care & bringing me home safely!!!!       Elisha

Babies & Parties

Here is a little glimpse of somethings that have been happening around here. I Have been in West Tennesse for the last 2 months working with 2 different midwifes, Sandy Tinnin & Sheryl Shafer. I have gotten to go to 8 births so far. They always seem to come all at once, nothing will happen for a while, than 4 births all in one week.:)  All of the births have gone really well, birth is such an amazing thing! One of the births I got to go to was a set of twins. That was really neat!!! Arron 7.2lbs & Amos 6.5lbs., I got to hold them both & rock them together. Just like Mom did with us. They were an amish family so we weren't able to get any pics. But they sure were cute! Here is a picture of the one of the families with thier first baby and Sandy & I.

 I got to go home for the weekend of Sam's graduation party. I was really glad to be home for that! I got to do the cake which of course wasn't fancy, but I was thrilled to do a cake.

Even though I  haven't been home. I brought some canning jars with me to the Shafers & have gotten to can peaches, cherries & tomatoes. That way I can still do a little of the summer activities! But I missed blueberries.:(

 Blessings!!! Hope you are enjoying your summer!!!

a little bit of nothing

Just thought my sisters would enjoy if I put this picture on of them! :)

We were on a trip and everybody fell asleep on me! I was driving.

For a quick update on the Ricono's, We are on the road now! Nick is driving an 18 wheeler and Honey (our golden retriever ) and I are riding with him! I am excited about traveling! I will get to see this beautiful country that we live in. So far we have just been to Texas. Our truck is in the shop right now, getting the defrost fixed. It is no good to be in a big truck in the rain and cold with no defrost. :(

God is good, and we are very blessed. Hope all of my friends are doing well.
