Family

Did you ever see such silliness in all your life? My boy made these wiggle eye glasses with scotch tape. He once wore them when we were in the back seat of a taxi in Quito. He "looked" at people passing by and got quite a few shocked expressions! One car that passed us slowed down to pass us again and take another look. Thankfully the taxi drive is a friend from church and the kids' BSF leader. He was a good sport about it.

But, Andy wasn't the only one who had fun with the glasses.

Little sister and two little cousins each had their turn at fun too.

 

What else do you do on a rainy day in Graham, Washington?

My baby boy turned 14 last week. Seems like just a few weeks ago he was this size:

And now he's this size:

Here are more pictures for your enjoyment. I hope they give you a small glimpse

of our boy's sense of humor.

 

Happy Belated Birthday, Andy! We're so, so glad that God made you part of our family.

Yesterday I went with my friend to ride horses at El Refugio. They have two horses. The younger one is named Española. She is quite fast so my friend rides her. The older horse is a boy named Dakota. He is a very slow horse so I get to ride him. We rode in the mist on the mountain. Boy, did it get cold!  



We followed a trail that went very high. I had a lot of fun riding Dakota and being outside. Later we rode double on Española. Española galloped fast and because I was in the front, I got pretty squished! It was a good day and, even though my legs are sore today, I hope I can go again next week!
