Where have we been since the last blog entry?

Let's take a look.....


This would be The "Devil" and his posse at Bible Camp Skit Night.




Here we have a more heavenly view of the bay at St. George Island, Florida.








Caroline & Connor both had a great time. Connor loved hanging out with the guys. Caroline had her hair done everyday by Cheyenne & Madison.

5 days later......

We spent the next 12 days in Venezuela working for the Lord. This year we went on the mission trip as staff. This allowed us to experience another side of mission work. We were there earlier than the mission team. We were there to greet them at the airport, and there when they left for the U.S. We saw the northern part of the country, the mountains, desert & ocean all within a five hour bus ride. A highlight for us was being able to spend more time with Sandra's family. Craig broke a barrier with her Dad that nobody else was able to do. He has that affect on people. It is amazing how salvation only a month earlier changed a man who rarely even spoke last year, into a person who was part of everything that happened this year. Sandra's sister and neices are so dear to my heart. What I wouldn't give to bring them home with me. I could add so much more about Venezuela, our missionaries, but there just isn't enough time or words.
13 days, 3 missed flights later.....Back home to work.
Now it seems that the summer has just disappeared and fall is in the air. School is back in session, football has started, and the kids just seem to be growing up at a scary pace. Hope you all enjoy reading. I'll try and post a little more often!!!!
