No Updates for a LONG time!

Well, here we are again - apologizing for not writing. And yes, we haven't written for SO long! We have been REALLY busy this week... doing school, and now almost ALL of our family has gotten sick in the last 2 weeks. So we have been busy trying to get better, and fitting in school, and all the other necessitates of life. I thought I would add some pictures - just for fun! :)



I thought ya'll might just enjoy seeing some photography! I would LOVE to hear your comments on these pictures! :) Please comment! We LOVE comments! :)

Home!

Hello All!

We're home now! We got home 2 days ago, though... :) We have just felt to lazy to post, I guess!!! :) I'm very glad to be home now... it's such a relief! Thank you all for your prayers! We appreciated them all! :)

Just thought I'd let you know that we made it safely back! :)

A Little Change

Hello all! :)

Well, I just felt like springy weather, so I changed our button and our background! Please tell us what you think! :)

Animals, animals, animals galore!

We got a big kick out of these sweet little monkeys! :) They were so very funny! :)


Um... Samuel enjoyed the fish! :) The rest of us thought it was a little ugly... :)
We enjoyed a seal show on a day-trip to SeaWorld.
Samuel... :) I LOVE his sweet little face there! :)
Leah, in the legs of danger!!! :) That was a giraffe at the International Wildlife Museum! :) Isn't that such a sweet smile?!

Children's Museum

Well, back to the computer! :) I hope you have all enjoyed the pictures. Please please comment! :) We LOVE comments!!! :)
The children's museum was a highlight for the children, of course! :)

Hannah looks so composed in the mouth of a shark, doesn't she?
Greg loved this... :) He put his own face in... he liked it! :)
Becky said her favorite place was the dinosaur exhibits... :)
Just a quick shot of dad and Leah, enjoyin the kids museum... :)
Sam enjoyed just putting velcro-footed frogs on the elevator, and seeing them fly around the room! :)

The children thought that was the best place ever!!! :)

Cactus Country

Well, good morning! :) I've decided to do some more pictures... I hope you enjoy all of them! Please comment... we always like to hear your thoughts! :)
Well, this sunset was a goodbye to us, it was almost our last night there.
The kids really enjoyed their swingset and monkey bars!
Leah LOVED the swings.... :) Isn't she cute?

more...

We went on a hike to Sabino Canyon.... it was beautiful! Here are some pictures from that...
Greg was busy... snapping away with his camera! He got more expert pictures than I did... :)
Well, truthfully, this wasn't from the hike... just a pretty one that I found... and edited! :)
Another one from Sabino... I love the Saguaro Cactus! :)
Well, the view was better than that.... but I didn't pick the best one I guess! :)

Pictures!

Hello Ladies!!
Well... I know you probably all want to not only hear WHAT we've been doing, but probably more see pictures than anything. I thought that we've been naughty, not adding pictures, so I thought I'd do an overview of our trip, and post lots of pictures.... I hope you all enjoy them.... so here we go!

One of the first things we did was go to a market daze! There were so many vendors, and so many things to see....Hannah loved these rings, but they were all to big for her...

I thought that these patchwork bags were very fascinating, but a little expensive!!
We enjoyed looking at all these lovely skirts... so many colors, and so many things to see!Here, the girls and Grandma were looking at... more clothes! :)

Ready to go home...

Hello girls,

I'm sorry it's been so long since we last updated. We haven't had much internet access here, so have not been on the computer at all.

One reason we haven't been able to update, is because last weekend and early this week 6 out of the 10 of us had the stomach flu. Those who got it were very sick, and hardly able to move. We were thankful that we were able to make it to our Great Aunt Ruth's retirement center to play yesterday- considering the circumstances! :) Thank the Lord, mostly everyone is feeling better, but not everybody feels like eating much. So, please pray for our continued healing!

Meanwhile, at least Emily and I are getting a little homesick. We start home on the 15th, but the trip home will be longer, since we have lots of little children that often need to use the rest stops. :) We are looking forward to getting back home, and one thing we are especially looking forward to is being able to be at our church! We miss it a lot, and miss all of our dear friends there.

Emily will try and add a post with lots of pictures of our trip to SeaWorld and the zoo in the next post!

Thinking of you all,
