Miles on an ATV - Two baby Alpacas, the brown one bucked Miles when he was behind him. Terribly funny. |
Later on the mountain, this massive adult Alpaca spit at me after I took the picture. Miles had the last laugh.

Miles and I at the front of the train with the guys driving. |
This picture is from earlier in the trip, the bus ride to the bottom of the gorge, easily the most dangerous road we’d ever been on. No guard rails. Passing buses going the other direction constantly. We were all glad it was over when it was over.

What does Y chromosome detected mean? |
Maternal blood is tested for the presence of Y chromosome DNA. If Y chromosome DNA is detected, the fetus is male. |
If Y chromosome DNA is not detected, the fetus is female. NIPD for fetal sex determination is 99.5% accurate. |
|
Cristie's blood test revealed a Y chromosome . . . |
Josh and Cristie are having a BOY |

Summer emailed ... Marco and I want to update you all. I have been in the hospital for the past couple of days. Our little girl has been very impatient and has been trying to come out and meet us! (Our little boy doesn’t agree with his sister and is quite comfortable in there) I am stable and resting for now, and I feel great. We (me and my belly) will most likely be staying in the hospital until we can walk out as three!
We do not know if we have days, weeks or more yet, but we will keep you all updated. On Sunday, I will be 31 weeks, and the twins have been given medicine to develop a bit quicker, so we are in a relatively safe zone. We have great doctors that have reassured us that we’re in a good place, but more time in my belly and less in the NICU is of course best. Every day more is a big gift, so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Feel free to update family and friends.
Lots of love, Summer, Marco and the twins |

Grandma Mary emailed ... Summer and Marco,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family at this difficult time.
Summer and Marco your email to the family is taking the high road to stay confidence and positive ... I am so proud of both of you!
(see attachment) ... "Motherhood is the GREATEST THING and the HARDEST THING".
Peace and Prayers, Grandma Mary |
