Meg's Visit in August

Meg came from Tanzania to visit for two weeks. The first few days Kirk, Sarah and Joanna were here and we celebrated Meg's birthday. Among other fun stuff, Rinnie sent her a box of blowpops (Meg's favorite lolly) and Sarah crocheted her a new hat.

It was a great visit together. Meg teaches history in an international school in Tanzania so wanted to check out some historical sites while here. We concentrated on the Middle Ages and went to places like Battle to see where the Battle of Hastings took place, Rye-a coastal town founded during the Middle Ages, and biking in the New Forest-established as a hunting ground by William the Conqueror. Meg left to go back to Tanzania yesterday (14th) and after a month of having some of our family here, we are once again alone. As much as we love their visits, it's ok to be just us again.

Wards come to London

Kirk, Sarah, and Joanna came to London as part of a group from their church to work with the World Harvest team. We had the privilege of caring for Joanna off and on during that time and then they stayed with us for a few days afterwards. Here's a few photos of our time with Joanna.

One thing Joanna loves is fish so since we have seven in our garden pond, she loved feeding them with "BaBa".

Rinnie gave us a child bike seat so Paul put it on my bike and that was another thing we did together.

But mostly we just went for walks, played with toys, read books and had a wonderful time. If you would like to see more photos you can follow this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=9829&l=5b48c&id=624702564
