Mom Is Here!

Hi there,
A goat eating Amy’s dress
We had our anniversary in May, and celebrated it by going to the movie theater (we watched 42). Then Chris took me out to dinner. It was a really awesome night. (Thank you Becky for babysitting!) It is hard to believe that we got married three years ago. Time flies by… Amy’s anniversary gift for us was that she potty trained herself in a day! So she is diaper-free since May 20th. Very proud of her!

We had VBS at church and I was able to teach one night. This was my first time being involved with VBS, and I love it already. My church did such a good job organizing it and making it very special for the kids. While we only have a few members (under 100 including kids), they are very dedicated and love to serve. We are honored to be part of this community of believers.

Chris and I are amazed at how much a 2-year-old “baby” can learn. We love to see Amy put together sentences and expressing herself in new ways. She is a very good girl, but she is also quite stubborn (just like her mommy)… :  ) She likes to argue with me and tell me “No, no! It is …” (as opposed to what I said). And in these situations there is no way I can convince her that I have lived longer and might no better. :  ) Oh well… : )

My mom arrived last Friday. We picked Monca (our missionary friend from Hungary) up from Indy the same day. It was a 5-hour drive altogether and Amy didn’t have any accidents meanwhile! So proud of her! We got home Friday night and went to sleep almost right away. On Saturday we went to Goodwill, Walmart, Honey Creek mall, Dollar Tree, and met Karen (Chris’ mom) at Starbucks. It was a long, but very productive day! On Sunday, Monca spoke at our church (unfortunately I forgot to take pictures…). After church we went home, had lunch, and left for Lafayette.
After a long day, on the way home…
We dropped Monca off at her “next destination,” and spent some time at the Colombian Park in Lafayette. I highly recommend that park!!! It has a free zoo with little kids in mind, a huge playground for all ages, a small train that the kids will most likely enjoy (along with their parents), a big lake, and much more. They even have a big pool and big-size water slides there. And we didn’t even see the whole park. I am sure we will be back sometime, it was an awesome experience!
Have a good day! God bless!
