Friends and Family

Hunter and I just spent a glorious week in the Quad Cities getting our yearly "fix". I MUST see my friends and spend hours over lunch "catching up", while Hunter MUST challenge his friends to backgammon, tennis, and archery. God has blessed us both with wonderful relationships which have been cultivated over years of child raising, working, volunteering, church service, and playing various sports activities together. In the book of Psalms David writes that "a friend loves at all times" and "there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother". That is the kind of friends we have and we miss them as we spend our year traveling across the United States. Thankfully we can and do stay connected via e-mail and cell phone and they are with us in our hearts!

Now we have moved on to family: Rebecca, Steve, Christian and Logan (soon to be born). Our title here is Grandpa and Grandma and we love it!

Here are some cute photos of our adorable grandson!


Mommy has a baby in her tummy. Christian has an elephant in HIS tummy!


Getting a haircut while holding a balloon and watching a kid's video! Fun-I think!
