It's time for another celebration...

It has been great to be stateside and enjoy special days of celebration with our kids. 
This time it's Christopher's birthday. 
And because we can, we enjoyed a celebratory dinner Friday night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Christopher!

One of the things about which we prayed for our kids was their future spouses.  And God brought three fine men to our girls.  Each one is different but designed perfectly for each daughter.  
                   Mike and Miriam 
                                  David and Rebecca
                                                 Christopher and Deborah
God knew what each one needed and He brought them together.  Though Mike and Miriam have been married the longest (8 years this past July) Chris has "been hanging" around the longest - 10 years.  We thank the Lord for His gift of godly men who love our girls and with whom our girls can serve Him.

More Memory Making Times

Recently we spend some memory making time at Whitestone Inn
with special friends, Ron and Margie and Wendell and Jane.

Both of these couples invested in our lives as we traveled to Guatemala as volunteers. 
Now we are priviledged to serve alongside them. 

Ron and Margie are completing their stateside time before returning home. 

Wendell and Jane, retired from full time missionary service, 
have recently returned to Georgia after spending several months in Guatemala as volunteers. 



The beauty of creation was overwhelming. 


We visited the Scottish Highland cattle at the barn.
Ms "Curly Horns" stopped and posed for the camera.
We were able to feed them, even by hand.

Can't you tell that Margie really liked feeding her?

David chose a less slurpy manner.

He posed so gallantly as well.

Friends making memories.
