Unexpected Visitors

Our dear "Tica" friend, Helen Mirkovich, arrived for a few week's visit with her husband, Daniel Kohm, from their home in Alberta, Canada, and we invited them out for coffee and cake yesterday.

Helen's sister-in-law, "Piki", who is a Baha'i from the island of Chira (in the Puntarenas Bay) brought her daughter, Valeria. She's due to have a baby anytime in the next few days and said that she wanted to get out of the house for a break from so much waiting around for this baby to come!
Dick Hicks joined us, and Cherlynn Stevens, who is a Baha'i from Maryland, as well. Cherlynn is visiting CR for the second time and has been getting some serious dental work done. She'll be staying with us until the end of the month.

Here's Helen, in white, showing some photos of their great visit to the Arenal volcano (they got some great pictures of it in action) to Cherlynn. Dick's at the end and Piki next to him on the right. Daniel is looking at the camera (like saying, what are you up to, dude?). Daniel's a biker (Harleys). We happen to know that he takes very good care of "our" Helen. I understand that he has a dental laboratory in Canada and, I'm sure, works very hard so that Auxiliary Board member, Helen, can travel all around the Northwest Territories to assist with the Faith's needs.
Here's Helen, Daniel and Piki at the picnic table. It was almost dark when they left and we all had a great time hanging out.
Later in the day, Gianni showed up from work. Here's a shot of her with Julie and Cherlynn. I wanted to get a before-and-after photo of Gianni's baby bump.
Gianni and David do not want to know if it's a boy or a girl (we all suspect a boy), but Piki knows that her baby is a boy. It was a very great surprise for Gianni to learn that Piki and Eddie have chosen the same name that she and David would like to give their child if it's a boy: Tristan.
Here's Valeria with her uncle Daniel:
