Summer in Vermont




Allis State Park

Much has taken place here in Vermont since our last post. We have taken a short vacation to York Beach, Maine, started Bible studies in Waterbury, participated in many community activities, worked with a mission team from Virginia and been encouraged by friends. We are looking forward to another visit from friends on Sunday and another mission team in August. Nathanael has also turned three years old! Here are some pictures from the last month.

We will have a team here next year to help with a booth for Waterbury Mission

Katie- we enjoyed shopping at Old Navy at the beach and
made a stop at Target on the way, too!

  1. Sorry, I am about 3 weeks late reading your blog. Crazy can't begin to describe our lives and I know you understand...one adventure after another...some good...some not!

    Allison, "love" your fire truck cake! You are the best mommie. I/we can see it in the kids eyes! Those little eyes do not lie!

    Nathanael, what a gorgeous group of friends GOD has placed in your life. Keep leading others to the heart of GOD. Papaw would be soooo very proud of you.

    Brian, I don't know if the credit goes to you, but I am going to give it to you....awesome vacation spot. LOVE state parks! I have not been to Maine, but your pictures make me want to visit.

    Katie, you are just adorable and already trying to learn the ways of a laptop. Soon, you will have your own blog: The PK Diva!

    Uncle Doug and I are praying for you guys! We love you and miss you. I wish you could have shared today with us. We met Aunt Becca and Granny B. and took them to see Lauren and Eli. We enjoyed a wonderful day with them. Granny glowed as I placed Eli in her arms. It was beautiful to watch them all together. Granny seemed excited to see Lauren's home, etc. We took them to lunch (to celebrate Aunt Becca's belated bday) and then brought Lauren and Eli home with us where they are both napping! I think we wore them out.

    Thank you guys for all your prayers, love, and support. You will never know how much they mean to Uncle Doug and I.

    Big HUGS and lots of love,
    andrea
