Tea anyone?

We had fun last night with our friends the Harris's playing cards. We had a bit of tea~quickly becoming a favorite beverage!

Soggy laundry

It was raining for much of the week, and alas, much of our laundry was caught out in it! Here are a few pictures of Claire wringing out the laundry before bringing it back inside to spin again in the washing machine. Bless her heart~

I think our girls are more excited than me that we might have access to a dryer soon! (We're coming home Mom!)

Learning to play Cricket!

Last Friday we met our friends the Sewall's again for a fun afternoon and evening~

We headed to Wimpole Hall to jump off the logs (always a priority when we are here)

But the highlight for us all was learning to play Cricket! It was a lot of fun!




We headed home to make the Tyndale House Friday night Barbeque~

At the end of the night, several children said, "This was the best day of my whole life!"

Success!

Friends

Last week was a sad week for our family. Two of our dearest family friends left to return to the United States. The Seller family with their five children left on Tuesday (Ah, we miss you all!) and our children cried all the way home from dropping them off at the bus station. (They only had 28 suitcases to take home with them!)

Greg and Dorinda Beale left on Saturday, and we miss them very much as well. Because we were next door neighbors here at Tyndale House, we saw each other daily, and Dorinda and I also walked together regularly. Greg and Dorinda would join us as we walked to church on Sundays, and I was able to take pictures of our last Sunday together here:

Here is Greg kindly carrying one of the children's scooters:

We always see beautiful gardens~


Ah, we miss you Dr. and Mrs. Beale!

Trip to Lammas Land~

Summer is upon us and I can see the relaxing effect it had on our family last week. Since the children had the week off (mid-term break) we headed out and about to enjoy the sun.

On our way to the park~this is the short-cut way through our neighborhood to "Lammas Land" a wonderful park near us~


You might notice that Andrew has learned to ride a two-wheeler (way to go Andrew!)


Being pushed on their favorite 'swing'


A happy day, especially because it ended with ice cream cones at the store!

Hello again!

We are sorry for the delay in posting any blogs! My computer has been down now for over a week, and I am hopeful that tomorrow our internet connection will be up and running again (I am borrowing another computer to quickly type this.)

Stay tuned, because there are a number of things I want to post when I have the opportunity. Until tomorrow (hopefully)~
