We have enjoyed a lovely afternoon at home. We grilled out hamburgers for lunch then enjoyed playing a bit of baseball. We don't play baseball very often - usually soccer. Now, Brett and the kids are putting up the swings that have been sitting in our closet for several months.

This afternoon, I bought a painting from one of the youth in our neighborhood. His parents care for 10 children, plus have taken in a widow and her 2 young children from Port-au-Prince. He is a very capable young man who is trying to help support his household. This week, Brianna will begin taking Art lessons with him. (well supervised, don't worry!) I am so pleased to know that this will not only benefit Brianna, but also him & his family! I thank the Lord for His provision.

We went to the "hiking church" today, as the kids call the church at Coupe David. We drive as far as we can to the base of the mountain then hike through steams and hills to arrive at the church around an hour later. I think we made good time today though. Our pace felt like it was nearly a run! Our kids have WAY too much energy! We have to work hard to keep up!

On the way down the mountain, it started to rain. Making the paths EXtremly slippery! The girls and I took our shoes off and walked barefoot down the mountain. There were some VERY deep, gooey places! Yuck! But, we kept trudging ahead! :) We snuggled together for the cold ride home in the back of the truck - then enjoyed hot chicken, noodle soup when we arrived home!

A Wonderful Weekend!

The girls are enjoying the return of "Gymnastic Julie" And, now we have "Gymnastic Hannah" as well! :) We are blessed!

We thank the Lord for these 2 young ladies who have come down to work in the clinic for the next year!

Making a cardboard car with Daddy!
