Well, here you have it - I finally got around to putting captions on the pictures. They somehow got uploaded in opposite order, so if you want to look at them cronologically, you can start at the bottom and work your way up. . . sorry about that. Sweet Susanna, always an animal lover, really enjoyed the 4 day old calf at the Martins.
I think that it enjoyed her, too!
The children had fun playing with so many others at our Missionary retreats. Elisabeth and Susanna are in the middle in this game.
Here are Pravitha and Esther, Jon and Charlotte Kropfs two little girls. Our children have become good friends with them over the last couple of years. . .
She so kindly hosted all 8 or 9 families that came to the meetings - and did it all with a smile!
Yes, it was a full house all right!
We had many, many children - I think about 20 of the children were 6 yrs. old or younger!
Isaiah - all tangled up :)
Dear Sister Charlotte - Carrying Esther on her back.
Pravitha, who plans on being a big sister the end of November, really enjoyed a chance to "practice" on Isaiah. He was pretty pleased with the attention.
Samuel, our happy young man.
Elisabeth - enjoying the warmer climate that we went to for a few days of family time.
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." We often call Susanna Papa's little "Apple" - she is so much like him in her high energy, excited, enthusiastic outlook on life. Here the two of them were racing top speed across a fallen log.
