Summer Fun

We're having lots of fun this summer and wanted to share the pictures.  A month ago, my mom visited while dh was out of town.  The kids had their usual lunch date and bookstore trip with DD and loved playing games and pretend with her.  I don't know how she stays so fun - I hope I can be that fun as a grandmother!  The kids loved their gifts from her - a sweater for P, a Columbia soccer uniform for A (both from Peru where she's been twice this year on medical mission trips) and a princess dress & Peru headband for E. 

We've also had fun with church friends who have become like a family away from home.  We have been so blessed by their friendship and love for the kids. 

We've had many quiet mornings with books and pj's.  Esther loves snuggling up to anyone reading a book.  Who would've thought?  Dh just finished reading the story of John Patton with A.  He loves missionary stories & we can't wait to read the two that DD gave us.   

I enjoyed a wonderful birthday with a dinner out and cake with the kids and friends.  I am so blessed!  But where have the past 10 years gone?  I still feel 24 but why does the calendar say 34? 

Phoebe's been having so much fun lately.  She's developing and growing and happy - what more could we ask for?  Not to mention how CUTE she is!!!

Mostly just a picture update this time.  Thank you for all the encouragement and kind words I've recieved lately about the blog.  I can't express how much your kindness and support means to me!

We are so encouraged to see how happy and joyful Phoebe looks. She is growing so fast and seems to be making progress even if in little steps. Can't believe she will be 2 next month.

Esther and Andrew are also getting so big and the story about Andrew and his little sister brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

We hope we can enjoy a visit with them soon.

We love and miss all of you

Andrew is getting exceptionally older looking. I love reading up on your precious family.
