CER 2019

 

We are so thankful that we were able to go to the Central European Retreat this year in the Czech Repbulic!  We had a wonderful time seeing old friends, getting to know new friends and enjoying nature. The boys loved paddling the boats with Papi, playing in the sandboxes and running around. It was great to see Elliot being independent with some other boys his age. I didn't teach any of the children's classes--there was a group of students from Harding that did a fantastic job! The boys are still singing the songs they learned for the talent show.  I would love to post the videos, but there are other children in the videos....

It was a great weekend!

Planting, Strawberries and Cookies

We've been doing a few different things lately. I decided to try seeds this year for the balcony! The boys had a ton of fun planting the seeds.

 

Couldn't resist little sleeping feet

Nolan has learned to cross his arms when he pouts.

We went and picked strawberries at the fields not far from here! The boys loved it!

 

 

 

 

We baked some cookies for the Central European Retreat. It was so hot, but the boys enjoyed it!

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!!

Hi again!

After a long break, I really want to get back into posting pictures of the boys and our adventures.  I quit after my appendectomy--it just kind of threw me for a loop....here are some of my favorite pictures from the past few months!
