He's Back!

Daddy is finally home from a short mission trip to Amsterdam.  We are so glad that he had such a great experience, but we are thrilled to have him back home!  Our church is partnering with my old college buddy, Rob, who is missionary there.  The hope is to help start a new church in the city.  Mike, Brad and Tim spent 8 days learning the culture, spiritual dynamics, and the city itself.

Mimi, Granddaddy Pete, and Aunt Kaye all came for the first part of his being gone. It was a great help, great distraction, and fun visit! We ate out, went to the pool, shopped a little, watched movies, and just had a nice time being together.

My kids are both totally head-over-heels for their daddy.  I kept them pretty preoccupied while he was away.  He was certainly missed!  I praise God for the Internet and Skype!  Saturday afternoon he was greeted at the airport with 3 of the largest and cheesiest grins!

[special thanks to mimi for the pics... and she evidently has my syndrome of always being the one behind the camera!]
