A Look Back & Settling In

It’s been while since we’ve posted due to our sudden move…but we’ve arrived!  We’re still settling in but we’re enjoying it very much.  We love the church, the people, our new home, and the most beautiful part has been God’s glorious creation that seems to be more untouched in these parts.  Here is a look back at the baby’s growth from the past couple months and also a few shots of what the upper penninsula looks like…


Baby’s still sucking his thumb and the rest of his fingers.  His first tooth was spotted by Auntie Kerri at the park on August 30th and his second tooth closely followed on September 12th. 

The baby still loves to eat!  He’s growing and is 29 inches long and
mostly likely weighs over 20 lbs.  I haven’t had a chance to weigh him
yet (but we carry him every day!!)

His least favorite food is green beans…but he’ll still eat it like an obedient child.  He’s getting used to it (since I try to feed it to him at least every other day).  I’m testing whether it is true that you can “train” your baby to like any food.  🙂


The baby loves carrots!!


Uncle Steve Conway came to visit with us for a week.  The baby especially enjoyed it when he got to babysit him at 5:30am when we had to go to the airport.  Of course he had to wake up soon after they left.


And Israel had the nerve to wonder where the baby got his grumpiness from!!


The baby picked up sucking his toes…


He’s going to miss his buddy, Hunter.  We lived next door but now we’re over 9 hours away…boohoo!


This is our new backyard!  On Sabbath morning, a doe came to eat some apples from one of our 2 apple trees.  We felt like we were in Heaven or something!


You can’t see it very well…but there’s an apple in his mouth.


Here is the Houghton Seventh-day Adventist Church.  It is walking distance to the beautiful Lake Superior.  We had a wonderful first Sabbath there and made many new friends!

And these last pictures were taken for his 6th month birthday by Uncle Daniel at his house.  (He can sit up by himself now!)

Our little conductor


…and pianist  🙂


We hope you’ll come visit us in the UP!

Thank you for all of your prayers and love.  We hope to keep in touch!

Love,
the Ramoses

  1. missing you guys like crazy. Juan’s had a grumpy week. I think we better plan a visit. 🙂 At least if God had to take you far away, He sent you someplace beautiful. Thanks for posting pictures. We’re looking forward to seeing lots more.Anyways, we’re glad you like it there. We love you guys! d, k, j

  2. I always love to read your posts and look at your pictures. Moving can take a lot out of you physically and mentally…especially with a baby! It looks like we are moving in about a month to North Carolina! Quite different from Houghton!

  3. Wow, you guys are fast! Already settling in? Good to hear that you like your new place. We wished we could be more in the country too. Anyway, we know God will bless your efforts in a special way………
    The baby looks like Israel when he’s not too happy, and he looks like you when he’s enjoying life 😉   Blessings,

  5. Glad to know the move went well. I shall have to make it up someday, seeing as I missed out on visiting you guys when you were a little more south. Let me know when you guys buy a super fast speed boat, water skis and wakeboard so we can go out on the lake in the summer.Are there any mountains up in that part of MI for skiing?

  6. I’m glad you have safely arrived and are getting settled in. Your church looks so cute. Now that I have a visual of it I’ll remember it more in my prayers and thoughts every time I think of you! Give that little boy a hug for me!!

  7. I am so glad you guys like your new place 🙂 That is wonderful!
    You are so far though…you might as well be in heaven…I will have to try and make my way  up there sometime. Of course, in the summer. Imanuel is sooooo cute! I am so glad I got to see him before you guys left for heaven. I am sure there will be a lot of challenges you come across at your new place, but I will always be praying for you guys.
    Miss you guys!
