Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

Family reunion

we had company in town this past week,  their family is so much more than company though, they are more like family....
we met last year while we were waiting for our precious girls, and then we were able to spend our time in China together, we vowed to get together once we were home
I don't know what we expected when we meshed our two rowdy crews...their 4 kiddos and our 5.....(not all pictured below) 
But you know what, it was wonderful.  Our kids all acted like long lost cousins and they never skipped a beat. 
we took a few fun field trips too, like going tubing where I wished I would have brought along a waterproof camera, because the only photo I have is the kiddos waiting in their tubes in the parking lot....

We also went to a super fun place called sliding rock,,, a natural waterslide... water temps below freezing and a few near death experiences make for some fun stories
The next day we took the train to the city to the Childrens museum.   I think the kids had a ball.


These guys are just about the sweetest (yet manly) young men you would ever want to meet... oh how they just doted on all the little ones... too sweet.   Hey Ang.. if this guy ever goes missing, he may just be at my house :)
We had such a great time!!! we are already missing you all and hoping we can get together again soon...

We miss you all so much already too! We can not express how grateful we are for you and Marc to open your house up to our crew-we had SO MUCH fun!The kids have been nonstop talking since we left about your family-they wonder why we can't live closer...oh, if it were only that easy! You guys are the best and we love you all very much! Have fun on your vacation!
