Bratislava

I got to attend the European Vision Workshop put on by Sunset International Bible Institute in Bratislava in October. It was such an encouraging time with great fellowship, faith-challenging talks and special time with Mom. The singing was so good. A little piece of heaven.

 

Mom came to visit!

  

It was great to have Mom here! Nolan and I got to pick her up from the airport. We were supposed to meet her at Subway. We went to Subway (which had gone out of business), no Mom. I looked for her flight on the big sign, no flight. Hmmmm....I decided to walk back to Subway just in case. There she was! We had somehow passed each other.

 

Since Elliot was in school, we didn't do anything spectacular. Just everyday things. Church, potluck, visit the mother-in-law, etc. Unfortunately Mom got sick about 3-4 days before she was supposed to go home--a bad cold. Sorry, Mom!

 

One of our highlights was Bratislava! A once and a lifetime trip! Stay tuned for the next post!

 

USA Trip Part 2

The week of pure nature did us so good! Our second week was spent in the city getting to see my sister and her family! We loved it!!

One of Elliot's favorites of the whole trip was bowling!!

 

 

My favorite day I think was the beach. So pretty and we got to look for seashells!

Beautiful Mom!

How I love these two!

 

We had a great time in Texas!

USA Trip Part 1

We were so thankful to be able to visit the family in the States before Elliot starts school!  We had a great time.  No tourist attractions, but we loved the parks, playgrounds, water and hikes!!

Bible Class with Granna

I was really happy that Granna could join us for the children's Bible class. It was just my two boys on this particular Sunday because of summer break and our topic was Jesus is my best friend. I picked songs that Elliot really enjoys singing. Sometimes, he is really a singer and sometimes he is not. :) This Sunday he was a singer and I got some videos of him singing. Granna had to turn her hearing aid down. Ha!

 

 

Elliot's favorite song--The Battle Belongs to the Lord

 

 

This is the Day that the Lord Has Made

 

 

Jesus is My Best Friend

 

Yummy Ice Cream with Granna

It has been so hot. We went to the ice cream place....it was in a mall...air-conditioned.  Delicious!!
