La Casa de Nacho



Thomas and I are very happy to Call David and Suzannah Nacho's home here in San Salvador our OWN home for these three weeks
We couldn't have asked for better hosts, friends, and accomplices (!)
We are having a great time enjoying delicious meals, wonderful conversation, and LOTS of laughter.

Many of you who know David and Suzannah may NOT know about the new additions in their house
Two weeks ago (give or take) their cat, Lechita (playing on the word "leche" which is milk in spanish...kinda like "little milky" in english) gave birth to 5 kittens
and they are the CUTEST
I wanted to make sure you all got to enjoy them as much as tom and I have
so here are some photos

Lechita is a little crazy sometimes though- she will take the kittens and hide them around the house...like in the laundry room!

they have opened their eyes now too
very exciting.

thomas and i have chosen names for them all (although they will most likely change when they go to their new owners). It's kinda hard to tell them apart because 4 are orange and almost identical
we are also not yet sure if they are boys or girls
but
here are our names
the black one is cusi (pronounced coo-see) and the orange ones are mochachito, caramela, mandarina, and mini bum (mini bum is the runt of the litter- and his/her name has a story behind it which involves all of us driving home from Guatemala behind a big semi carrying boxes of candy inside. All of a sudden the back door flung open and all these boxes came crashing down on the highway in front of us! We were going really fast but david managed to swerve and miss the boxes - although he did run over some of the candy! We honked really loud but the truck didn't hear us. so we stopped and picked up some of the intact bags of candy off the road! hahaha. and some of the candy is called "mini bum". super weird. but funny. and that is the long explanation of the name. oh, and then we chased the truck like mad to catch up with it and got him to pull over and close his back door. talk about and adventure!)

Thomas and Emily,
Great to be kept up to date. That cat of David and Suzannah's seems to be quite the go-getter in terms of breeding. I'm curious if this is having any effect on the owners.
Greetings to David and Suzannah and the church there too. Tim

Dad
