Heading on to TN!

 

We drove a lot! But we also enjoyed so many good visits with friends and supporters! And the kids did a great job... they enjoy road trips!

I was so excited to see my good friend, Sarah! And our kids had a great time playing together!

We went on a little walk to see a dam... thankful for nice weather in November!

Sarah and I met in Papua New Guinea at Interface. She went back as a full time missionary and so we hung out a lot over a 12 year period. She was my maid of honor at our wedding! I'm thankful that we get to stay in touch and our kids can play together!

We also went to a Christmas Light Festival with rides.... very cold but the kids loved it!

Trip to Washington DC to visit friends

 

On our way to Washington DC, we stopped in to visit Dan and Gail, long time family friends and faithful prayer supporters! It was so good to see them!

While we were staying with our friends in Washington, DC I went running. Before I turned around to go back, I found the White house! 😊

It was very interesting to see our Capitol. I had never been there before. A great field trip for our homeschool curriculum! 

We had a great time catching up with Ope! We are very thankful for our friendship!

We also go to go to the American History Museum... so many things to see and learn!

The 1st video game ever invented!

While we were visiting Ope, her Mom was also there! And she made us all hats in just a few days. 😊

Sharing at our Home Church

 

We had the privilege of sharing about PNG at our home church here in Lenox, MA in November!

I did a little interview with the kids on Saturday at the Missions Movie matinee. Our kids love to talk about Papua New Guinea!

Jacob helped everyone there pretend that they had all just arrived in Papua New Guinea and they needed to decide many things about where they would be working... church planting/support work, mountains area/coastal area, new work/existing work. It was a fun time of learning!

And we got to have some apple cider donuts for snack during the Missions Movies!

Violin Building

 

Jacob is building another violin. He loves this type of work!

Making lots of progress! Anyone interested in buying an electric violin??

Random October Fun...

Library fun!

Walk to our village from the library.

A visit from my high school friend, Amy!

Learning how to rake leaves! There are lots!

We are so happy that we will soon have heat in our house!! The Boiler is in the basement! We have been using space heaters so far. But now it is actually below freezing outside!!

 Jacob cooked dinner for us using our fancy Thermomix! So nice!
