~Nathan~
{first off, I just have to say I love his hair! -grin-
He was a little on the shy side, but once he warmed up, he was quite the little talker... he had such a cute voice! I loved just sitting there listening to him talk... And his little laugh was so very contagious!}
~Hannah~
{Little Hannah Banana... Her little grin just lights up her whole face! It's been awhile since I've had a sweet little girl to play with, I had so much fun with her... Such an adorable little princess!}

TN vacation - Day 5 - May 4th

Monday found us on the road to an impromptu visit to the town we lived in from 1997-1999.
This is our sweet little home on Grove Blvd - the first home we owned.
We also went to the park where us children loved to play at.
We always called it 'the Eiffel Tower park', I don't remember its proper name.
-----

After we got back from Paris, we went to a friend's house to visit. Mama and Miss Lisa grew up together, and have been good friends for a long time!

Miss Lisa has three children, Andrew (he is Caleb's age), Shelby (Sam's age), and Bradleigh Grace (who is between Isaac and Joseph).
When we lived in Mississippi Miss Lisa would drop her children off at our house while she went on mission trips.... we would all have so much fun playing together! :-) I do remember Caleb, Andrew, and Sam were always trying to figure out new ways to scare Shelby and me.... boys.... ;-)

And here we all are!
It was so nice to get to see them again after three years!

TN vacation - Day 3 - May 2nd

At our friend's house in TN,

Talking, and visiting....

The Hearth Keeper Ladies,

The Daddys and children playing Frisbee,

Daddy playing Frisbee,

Playing with friends,

We all had a fun visit with our friends! And we didn't get back to Pa's house until 2 am the next morning! (we had to drive like 2 or 3 hours to get back though)

TN vacation - Day 1 - April 30

We left our house at 4:20 Thursday morning, and we drove for about 5 hours
(I think) then we stopped at a park (well, it wasn't the kinda park you'd think of when you say 'park', it was a big grassy area with a creek, it was really nice, and very peaceful!) to meet a family for breakfast (they made 'Breakfast Sandwiches' for us...yum!) After we ate we walked down to the creek, then played ball and talked for a little while... we all had a very good time!! :-)

Down by the creek,

The boys playing soccer :-)

We stayed at the park for a couple hours then we said our good byes, hopped in the van, and we were on our way again! :-)

A picture I took on our way to TN! :-)

-- Day 2 will follow soon! (I have to go clean the kitchen and fold laundry first, then I'll do Day 2!!) --

Day Six ~ The Wycliffe Museum

Here is a little bit about Wycliffe:

"Wycliffe USA is part of an international association of organizations dedicated to seeing God's Word become accessible to all people in the language that speaks to their heart. Wycliffe’s staff is passionate about the glory of God through the translation of His Word for all peoples of the earth in the language they understand best. Consider this an invitation to check us out. If you’re just getting to know us, consider digging into our core values and reading through our mission statement. You can learn about our history , meet our leaders, or view global Bible translation statistics . For further exploration you may want to visit our inspiring WordSpring Discovery Center in Orlando.
Listen to our stories; hear our hearts. Relationships take time, so we invite you to explore and then decide for yourself if we really are who we say we are. But more than that, we hope that you will discover that God is who He says He is in His Word—that He is alive and involved in the world, bringing transformation and joy to those who trust Him."

And here are the pictures that I took while we were there:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After we left the Wycliffe Museum, we drove to a little town near Tampa to visit with our friends the Graves.

The little ones had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline!!

Liberty and Stacy Graves,
Steven Graves,
Stacy and Joseph,
