Visiting Cousins

This past weekend we had the opportunity to visit our cousins (the same ones who visited us in February) Although our visit was short, we made the most of it!


We arrived at their house in Ohio on Saturday, just in time for lunch. They had prepared delicious sandwiches, chips and cheese, carrots with dip, chocolate covered strawberries, brownies with caramel inside, and buckeyes. It was all so tasty!
The kids had a blast playing together during the weekend. Josiah and E are just a few months apart, and had lots of fun playing Legos®, toy cars, and many games of Uno.
Roma and Rubia had lots of playing with R. They love spending time with little kids, so they had a marvelous time.

We shared a lot about our recent trip to Haiti. After a dinner of Texas-style pulled pork, we watched the 20-minute highlight video with pictures and video from our trip. It was fun reminiscing about our time there!
On Sunday morning we were treated to a delicious—and filling—breakfast of oven-baked French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, bananas, and juice. We had so much good food over the weekend!

Then we all piled into our van to go to church together. Their church is really big! The sermon on serving was convicting to me.

For lunch after church, we had meatball subs, chips and salsa, carrots with dip, and more brownies and buckeyes. The subs were especially good!
Before we left, we paused to get a picture of our two families together. We’re so thankful that we had the opportunity to visit them, and we hope to see them again soon!

You have a very nice, hospitable family. can we find the Haiti highlight trip on Youtube? I didn't know you had a van. IS that new?

We are very thankful for our family, Lydia, and their hospitality towards us! Yes, the Haiti highlight video is on Youtube. I will email you the link.

The van is somewhat new to our family. It's one of Dad's test vehicles for work. He's had it since the end of June. It's nice to have all of that space!

We miss your family! I hope that your summer is going well.
