			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have arrived at our new home in Costa Rica.  We arrived late Thursday night after a wonderfully problem-free trip.  We are living in an apartment for the next eight weeks until we can move into the house we will live in for the next year.  We have begun exploring the city, finding the market, the grocery store, and the Costa Rican version of Big Lots.  This will be a great place to live.  Here are some pictures from our trip and the new place&#8230;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-88" title="Costa Rica IPhone 004" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Costa-Rica-IPhone-004-300x225.jpg" alt="Costa Rica IPhone 004" width="300" height="225" /><br />
Avalyn ready to go with our ten suitcases, three bags, two strollers and a car seat.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-89" title="Costa Rica IPhone 006" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Costa-Rica-IPhone-006-300x225.jpg" alt="Costa Rica IPhone 006" width="300" height="225" /><br />
Catching up on a few phone calls before we leave&#8230;<br />

The view from our front porch<br />

Our living room<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-92" title="IMG_0076" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_0076-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0076" width="300" height="225" /><br />

Avalyn wasted no time playing dress up in her new room<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-91" title="IMG_0071" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_0071-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0071" width="300" height="225" /><br />
Enjoying some art in our new kitchen<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-98" title="IMG_0067" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_0067-225x300.jpg" alt="IMG_0067" width="225" height="300" /><br />
Our bathroom<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-100" title="Costa Rica IPhone 016" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Costa-Rica-IPhone-016-225x300.jpg" alt="Costa Rica IPhone 016" width="225" height="300" /><br />
Don&#8217;t worry mom&#8230;nobody is getting in this door!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97" title="IMG_0074" src="http://thehessfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_0074-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_0074" width="300" height="225" /><br />
This is where I&#8217;m sitting right now!<br />
We&#8217;ll keep this blog updated as new things happen.  We begin our language tutoring and Avalyn starts school at 7:30 Monday morning.  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  Keep in touch!</p>
