Time at Home...

In the past two weeks (Aug. 3rd-18th), we have been at home but have been keeping busy with visits from family and friends.


Kristi's best friend, Alisha and her family stopped in for several days, making a busy and full house Above is the group shot of all the kids at the Como Zoo.


David's sister and family also were visiting from out East.


Kaylee and her cousin at the zoo.


Watch out world...Jordan is at the wheel!


Kaylee having some "Daddy time" on the train.


Good thing the boys can't drive in Chile till they are 18.


Time with Felicia (neighbor) playing Play-Doh


Kristi with our children plus friends Alana and Logan (sitting behind Ben & Jordan).


It was Ben's turn to mow the lawn with Dad. With the recent rains this past week, it will need to be mowed again tomorrow.

Our family was also able to attend a wedding of a young lady from our home church on Sat. the 18th.

We are looking forward to the next two weeks at home...hopefully getting several things done.
-Cleaning the house
-Contacting churches
-Going through all of our clothes and getting rid of unnecessary items
-Packing up several boxes for Chile
-Shopping for several furniture items
-Reading and studying
-Celebrating Kristi's birthday
-Spending time together as a family (walks, library runs, trips to the park)
-Recharging our batteries

Come back again to hear of our last week of VBS here at our home church. We thank you for continuing to pray for our family during this time of deputation and ministry.

It looks like you did have a busy couple of weeks. We pray for you often, and so does our church. Jason & myself love to keep up to date as week check your blog often.

Sincerely,
Ashley Hartung

Yours and Alisha's kids could be related - they're all so blond and fair! And yes, I thought of Kristi when I posted those pictures on my blog today ... (shame on me)

Hey! Thanks for the view from the other side of the trees! Sounds like you're in town for a couple weeks - maybe we'll bump into each other on a trip to the park or something. :)

Adorable pictures! Kristi looked like she was having a blast on that train. :) BTW, what are you sucking on while you mow?
