God's own handiwork

As I walked around in our beautiful city park, I was amazed at the beauty of theses two statues. But next to the  sun (above) and the moon (below), they were nothing! God was really saying to me, "My creation is much more wonderful then human's handiwork"! And when I saw this I had to take pictures. Hey everyone???? Isn't Gods creation much more Beautiful then ours?

(Note from Mom: We were standing in the middle of these 2 statues and from the same place we could look in one direction and see the sun and the monument above and look in the other direction and see the statue and the moom below)

Enjoying Family

 This crazy kid is all about Mikey. "Mikey is my best friend, all I want to do is have an adventure with Mikey..." And so on. Mikey enjoyed his cousins love for a while but then got a little tired!

 A fun trip to Giant City Park with Gramma and Papa.

 Will enjoyed the hands of his grandparents, with all the "scary" woods around him.

 She loves her Grammy so much, and will miss her a lot when we leave!

 Climbing rocks!

 The two "men" that couldn't really climb those high rocks!

A New Life

Anna's Baptisim. A Geat Day!!!

Good bye party

 All of the girls that threw a good bye party for  Anna and Katie.

 Anna's best friend.

 Anna thinks of these boys as her little brothers.

Small part of the huge table laid out!

Recent Sights and Celebrations

 We recently spent an afternoon and evening celebrating the end of our school year and expressing thanks to our teacher Jenny. While enjoying a picnic at a local site, this wedding party arrived.

Amazing dancing always accompanies the wedding party.

 Our sweet teacher and some of her students

 These musicians were also with the wedding party. (Anna took all these pics)

 A young entreprenuer sold us this tiny turtle for a dollar.

Later in the day, we enjoyed a great meal at a beautiful local restaurant.

 A week later we were traveling through Turkey on our way to spend the summer with family and friends. Right behind is a lovely store full of nuts and raisins and Turkish delight. I love this unposed shot.

 Anna and I ate this meal at a little cafe while the rest of the family ate chicken and rice nearby.

 Our sweet little cook that made the delicious meal above.

Will makes friends wherever he goes......
