Friends

In our second and third year of living here there was a family that lived here with us. The Montague's had 4 girls and were such a blessing to us. They were here when Kayleigh was just a baby and gave John and I a ton of parenting advice. We had to say goodbye as they returned to the states. They decided to return and spend three weeks here this summer. We were so glad to have them come and visit. Kayleigh and Zeb especially loved the two younger girls who showered them with tons of attention. Below is a picture of Mary Van, Kayleigh, Ruthie, and Zeb saying goodbye. Mary Van and Ruthie had made some special things for Kayleigh and Zeb and they loved it. Here is to great friends!

Back Home

We are certainly glad to be back home after our time in Thailand. We feel very blessed that Alisa's tests came back negative and everything is OK with her and the baby! Thank you for your prayers.

Kayleigh was really glad to be back to her room and all of her toys and stuffed animals. She went straight to her little pink stroller and started pushing it around the house. We feel that God again blessed us with a child that has been so easy to travel with. She did not cry one time the entire trip back from Thailand, even with only having 20 minutes of sleep.

After being in Thailand with all of those younger children, Kayleigh has really gotten into her baby doll. Before our trip, she was not too interested in her baby doll, but now she is very concerned with its health and wellbeing. She really takes care of it and makes sure that it is covered with a blanket properly.
