Wingfield Visit

What a treat to have Beth and Joseph join us for a week in Spain! It is hard to put into words how great it is to have friends stay with us. But, if I had to chose one, I think the word would be encouraging. You don't realize how much you miss your friends and family until they show up on your doorstep! Thanks Joseph, Beth, Teddy, Wilder, Wingfields and Kents for making the sacrifice!



Not only did they come to Spain, but they also took Katie and I to Paris for the first time. What a great adventure !
















Decision time on too many art options...

Lolli came to stay with us for about 10 days. It was so great to have her with us. She braved it all and even stayed with the girls for several days while Katie and I attended a Young Life Europe retreat in Northern Spain. Ask her about her driving skills...
