First week of Christmas Vacation

A very good week. Dustin, Nancy and kids came to visit on Tuesday. We enjoyed our first bonfire and named the location, Wowwop.

A good view of both the fort, coffee plantation ruins and in the other direction the sunset. 

They graciously assisted us in deciding where to hang wall decorations and made bunk beds in Fritzlin's room.

We hiked to the fort, talked about additional house projects, laughed, read lots of children's books, the kids played, a good time had by all.

We kept the Calvin students in prayer who had finals the first 1/2 of this week. 

We continue to praise the Lord for allowing both our college kids to be able to complete their testing and projects before this week.

The extra 5 days made the decision to fly them home for Christmas easier and we are enjoying our second Christmas as a family of five. 

Eli and Anna helped paint after our great guests left on Thursday. 

Second coats yesterday, and this morning Fritz was not allowed in his room until it was cleaned, pictures hung, beds made.

He had a huge smile and said 'WOW!' when allowed back into his room.

Not all work. Computer games, reading of fun books, cooking, Christmas videos and just hanging out as a family.

Tomorrow we plan to join the Agape staff and children for their Christmas party.

Merry Christmas!
