Tribute to my Mother on Mothers Day!
I love you mom... my husband loves you, our kids love their Nani... you are a very special woman to us all. Thank you for all you do and the way you invest in the lives of your kids. You were always in the Word, always prying for us.. always bekoning us to lead Godly lives and we love you for it. Your faithfulness to Daddy is beautiful and a lovely example for us all. Thank you for the way you cared for Gpa Reid so selflessly and now care for your own parents with grace and gentleness. Thank you for dropping everything and coming to our rescue SO many times.. each childs delivery, with Hudson in Bangkok, carrying for the boys while we were in Thailand, and the visits here to Laos. There is always great joy in knowing Nani is on the way!
Even tho we are miles apart... you are close to our hearts and we long for the time we can see you again. (Christmas, yeah!!) Happy Mothers Day ~ I love you, we love you~
Olivia is always in the middle of the group during our worship time with hands raised. Her favorite thing is worship and she doesnt budge when the 'Mighty to Save' dvd is on...
We just had a great bon fire a couple weeks ago, but as the Mekong had started to rise, we had to move it to our house.. so Dave and the men proceeded to dig a hole in our front yard for the bonfire. We roasted hot dogs but decided we couldnt invest in $8. marshmellows. Oh well.. we played games (Limbo above) and sang when it got dark... sweet
Jaap-Jan, Anamai, Meri, and Charissa helping paint the 'Women at Risk' house last Sat. WE had a blast serving this way and the kids got the WHOLE HOUSE painted in 3 hours!!! Great job guys. They partied after by painting handprints on each others calves when we were done... seafoam green.. yuck!
