Meeting Maribel


So we'd been in Texas all of a couple weeks when we left for another road trip, this one to visit family and friends in the Midwest. We drove 15 hours the first day to Illinois where Adam's sister Alicia and her family live. After spending the night and morning with them, we left (minus Adam's mom Regan) and drove to Fort Wayne, Indiana to hang out with Bob and Sue Havenor for a couple days. It was amazing to be with them again and see how God is using them in their neighborhood. Then, it was on to Michigan to hang out with Kattie's side of the family and to meet Maribel, the newest member of the family. At just two months old, she is a beauty and very peaceful. Both Mari and Rosi keep Carrie busy, but they are amazing delights to everyone around them. We traveled to the Mackinaw Bridge, went swimming in Lake Michigan, went to a couple zoos, and had a great time catching up. After a few days we headed back to Fort Wayne and then on to Illinois, where we spent a day and a half with Jon, Alicia, and Addi again. It was a fantastic trip and we can't wait to see them all again. Only next time... they all have to come here!


Here are Bob and Sue at a great BBQ they hosted for the neighborhood.

Rosi decided the apples were ready to pick, but after trying to eat one changed her mind.

Reading "Beetle Bop" again and again. He's not as surprised as he looks...
