Road trip through New York and Penn...

 We stopped in New Hope, NY and visited one of our supporters, Lois. She was babysitting her great grand daughter. :)

 We had a tour of the families New Hope Mill, built in the 1800s.


Although the equipment is really old, it was used up until a few years ago, but they had to move to a factory location nearby when the only person who knew how to use and fix the equipment passed away.


 We really enjoyed visiting Julie and her family in New Hope. Julie was my roommate in Papua New Guinea the very first time I went in 1995. Now her and her husband are serving with NTM in Indonesia. We were excited that we were home in the US at the same time! We hadn't seen each other in 7 years!

We were freezing cold! :) But we enjoyed the tour of the Mill.

 We had a fun game of Settlers with Steffan and Julie, and Keith and Becky (also missionaries in PNG at one time).

 While we were traveling and visiting people in New York, we found out it was deer season. This deer was hanging next door to one of the places that we were staying for a few days.

 We had fun visiting with Rhonda (former co-worker at Interface) near Buffalo.

 It was fun to chat with Bernie and Rhonda and get to know Faith a little bit too. :)

 Then we were off to PA to visit Danny and Tammy, also former co-workers at Interface. Jacob and Danny enjoyed playing chess together once again after a 2 1/2 year lapse.

 Their daughter, Addie, is a bit taller then the last time we saw her!

 Danny and Tammy... we miss having them on our team at Interface! But had a great time visiting!

 Baby Devine continues to grow! Did I tell you, we found out that we are having a boy?!

 We also got to hang out with Josh and Rebekah, Jacob's brother and sister-in-law in PA.

 Breakfast at the Diner....
 A fun game of Dominion!

 Brothers together again!

And the Brother's Wives. :)

Cousin Kevin's wedding to Abbey!

 We had the privilege of attending my cousin Kevin's wedding. We had fun seeing everyone on my mom's side of the family!


 Cousins... Mindy, me and Jeanne
 Aunt Trudi and Uncle Allen


One of the Best Men, my cousin Michael, giving his toast/speech.


We enjoyed celebrating our third year anniversary as we celebrated the marriage of Kevin and Abbey!

A visit to New Brunswick...

 After our 5 weeks in Nova Scotia we headed out to New Brunswick to speak at a church and Bible Institute. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of fall and the surprisingly warm weather.


 In Hartland, New Brunswick we traveled over the largest covered bridge in the world!


 There is even a walking path on the side!
