Fun with Family

We flew out of Denver on Thursday for Houston. We now have lots of luggage, thanks to the generosity of many people. It was nice to be greeted by 3 men in Houston who graciously helped us load it all into the church bus. (Yes, we needed a bus to get all of us and our stuff to our house!) I think we will have to ship some things to PNG in order to avoid gobs of overweight charges. It was nice to arrive in Houston on Thursday and stay in a house that we lived in before. The church here prepared the house so nicely for us. Hannah was especially excited to see her room decked out with little stuffed animals all over her bed. Our kind church family here even left food in the kitchen for us so we would not have to go shopping right after we got here. We love our Champions Church family and are looking forward to spending the next few weeks here.

Below are some pictures from some of our last few days in the Cheyenne area. We really enjoyed our time there.



Here we are at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. We had a great time with Jason, Teri, and Kaitlyn there.



When we get back to PNG, Hannah will sure miss playing at parks. She can spot one from a mile away. Here she is peeking out of a tunnel. A special message to her friend, Rochelle, in PNG -- Hannah is always pretending to talk to you on the phone. Lately she has been saying, I'm coming Papua Guinea soon. I think she is just about ready to go home!!

Here is our happy son, Caleb. He is proving to be such a pleasant baby.

Caleb enjoyed playing by his big cousin, Kaitlyn. In this picture, he is 6 weeks old and she is 6 months old. Good looking kids, eh?




Hannah will sure miss her cousin, Kelsey. (Kelsey is exactly one week younger than Hannah!) They loved playing with their babies together. They had such a good time and plenty of time to practice sharing!

Thank you to my family who hosted us for the past few weeks. We were so blessed to be with you. We will miss you, but are so thankful for the time we had together. Love you!
