More of June…

 Flowers from my hubby, because this month has been really hard. Can you please pray for us? We have gotten terrible news about our adoption, and we need a miracle in order to proceed. 


Chris, Jalen, and Jordan went wild hog hunting in Alabama. They had a great time, and shot 2 hogs: 






Some of Chris’s family members from Illinois came to visit, and we had a fun-filled weekend packed with activities:










We had a lovely evening at a Kibir fundraiser in Fort Wayne. It was good to catch up with Misikir, our friend from Ethiopia, and hear all about the amazing work that is happening in his country.

Tennessee…

 We spent a week at Norris Lake in Tennessee with Larisa and Seth and their families. We had a great time boating, fishing, tubing, golfing, relaxing, hiking, swimming, kayaking, playing games, and jumping off the nearby bridge into the lake. Some of us may have even ended up concussed, caught in a terrible storm out on the lake (one of the scarier moments of my life even though I couldn’t stop laughing,) encountering poison ivy, and hitting a rock with our trusty pontoon, but a great time was had by all. Now to wait and see if the poison ivy actually appears and what the boat damages amount to…😬
