New Furniture

 In addition to the treasures Dad and Suzanne delivered we also ordered a new bed, new lamps, chairs and end tables for the living room!  This place is filling up nicely!  :)

Dad and Suzanne's visit

Ashton and I enjoyed a visit from Dad and Suzanne!  They came to deliver some furniture and to check out to the new place.  We even got Dad to jump in the pool!  We loved having them visit!

Derrik's trip back to CA

 Derrik made his first visit back to CA since the move to meet with clients over a four day period.  He also got to spend quality time with Ethan, Cameron and the grandparents!  

He got to meet Cameron as he got off the bus from the India trip

Ashton and I held down the fort!

And enjoyed the pool!

Odds and Ends from July

It's been pretty quiet around here lately.  Derrik's been doing some light repair work (toilet repair, painting touch-ups and assembly of furniture), I've been recording videos and doing my Kindermusik training, and Ashton's been enjoying the pool and looking into doing some volunteer work at our local library.  Ethan drove to San Francisco to attend the premiere of the movie he helped edit sound for and Cameron is heading with the missions team to Southeast Asia and was recognized and prayed for at church.  Sadie keeps things interesting!

Kansas Summer 2023

I made the drive to KS for the first time to spend time with the family - one more time at the lake!  A big thank you to both Stephanie and Edwin, and Suzanne and Don, for hosting me!  Here are some snapshots:
