Recent Blessings

Hello there! As of this moment, the baby is still inside (you may have been wondering). Here was a fun ladies' night at the ballet--my lovely sister and mom and me! It has been so wonderful to be with them longer than just a quick two-week visit. I love these two! We have enjoyed making many more memories together.
While we were at the ballet, Nate and John finally got to face each other in a serious match of Risk. It was so close they had to call it a draw because it was past midnight! There will be a re-match soon, I hope!
Another blessing is friends! How wonderful Nate's roommate from college and best man in our wedding, Chris, came to visit us with his wife. We had a wonderful weekend together at the zoo, playing games, enjoying meals and fellowship together.
We are so thankful for the beautiful weather, the friends we have been able to see and enjoy time with, and for such great health and fun!
My friend, Katie, and I have been friends since we were five years old! Nate and I got to visit her 4th grade class and share with the kids about the Philippines. It was so great to see the picture book they made for us telling us what they learned. Then we got to have a night with her and her husband, Drew in their lovely home. What a special friendship to continue through all the stages of life!

Thank you, Lord, for wonderful friends and family! We praise You for all the blessings You pour out on us!
