Summer Fun!

This summer is filled with travel for some, lots of pool time, and many family and friends visiting our home. Lydia, our newest daughter, met her grandparents and cousins for the first time. After a few days of "observation" by Lydia , she has jumped right in to being spoiled by the grandparents and having a great time with her cousins, Sarah and Emma (both 11) and her cousin Alex (13).

Since my writing ability lacks creativity I will post some photos instead:)

This photo is a group of talented actors and
writers after a stunning performance.


SWIMMING!

Checkers with Opa is challenging.. Jakob LOVES to try to win.


Aunt Bunny took a few of the gang on a "field trip".


Jeremiah enjoyed his snuggle times with Aunt Bunny.


Maria and Joseph enjoy their watermelon by the pool.



We were blessed with a visit from Romana, the
director of Beacon House in Ghana, and her 3 beautiful children. I cannot express what it meant to our family to have Romana spend some time with us. God is using Romana to accomplish amazing tasks and she has been a huge part of our adoptions of Jeremiah, Maria, and Lydia


Lydia gave a few of us, including her grandmother some dancing instruction!


Joshua and his cousin Alex share their songs with us.
