Some happenings around Casa Stiffney. We have a new roommate. A rabbit named “Rabi”. Kind of like Roby but with a Spanish twist :) We have him potty trained, and we spoil him with awesome veggies and food. So he is a pretty happy bunny. His favorite activities are: hoping around in our kitchen, his recess time out in the yard, trying to sneak outside when we aren’t watching and chewing on everything. He is soft and cuddly and we hope he sticks with us for the next 1.5 years. As long as he doesn’t sneak out into our yard without us knowing! There are some hungry dogs around our town. Here are some pictures of our new friend:
Everybody—meet Rabi
He may look dead, but he is just resting with his favorite rock after his “recess” time outside :)
On Sunday, while playing soccer, Kyle tore his hamstring pretty badly. He was having a lot of pain and very limited mobility. We took him into Esteli to get checked out. After a (painful) physical examine, and an MRI, it was decided on a Grade II tear. Of course, RICE all day, everyday, and no weight bearing for about a week. This was super unfortunate timing as Kyle was training for a 1/2 marathon in Managua this Sunday :( He was feeling great physically, so it just really tough when you feel that your body lets you down like that. As you can see from the picture above, he is resting well and hopes to be back on his feet soon. This has affected some of our plans for the beginning of the school year (English classes), but we are hoping to get back into our routine next week.
We are looking forward to a visit from Kyle’s uncle (Rick) and cousin (Ben), next week. While Kyle will be a bit limited in his activity, we are still excited to show them our life here and spend time together.
Prayers for quick healing and patience are welcome!
Ánimo Kyle.! We're with you.
