Fun, Fun Week!

The week before Tyler was born, Freya and the boys came for a visit. The last weeks before April 15 are very busy for Stephen at the office, so this was a perfect time for a visit. Max and Henry spent a little time playing Mario Kart.

There's a story behind this picture.....all the kids love for Aunt Rebecca to come and the favorite game is to play "Chase Me" around the circle. Everyone got hot and began "stripping" down! Here's Max and Kayla!


The best toys are always on the next shelf higher! Even Henry scampered up the stepladder to check out the next shelf!!

It's always good to wear safety goggles with these "dangerous" toys

Cute, cute, cute pictures -- so glad to hear about your fun week.

And yes! It was John Pappas that gave us the gummy candies from Germany! It's quite the story, and I'm going to write about it on my blog but here's the short of it. He had emailed us to tell us he was coming to Yaounde which is a city of 2-3 million people. He gave us the name of his contact person here and her phone number so we could contact him through her. And would you believe that his contact here is our neighbor and not "just" our neighbor but we live inside the same gate -- her apartment is a few feet behind our house. So we saw him off and on all week and he came to dinner on Thursday and then he and our neighbor Karen came over to have Easter dinner with us. So much for being brief but I'll write more details on our blog because he was such a blessing to our family -- just the encouragement we needed at this time. And on top of that, Kayla really took to him which he thoroughly accepted and I think enjoyed. I feel a little teary thinking about how Kayla misses her grandparents and how he and his wife miss their grandkids. But his testimony even after 30 plus years is that it's worth it -- wow!
