Back to Fall

Fall is here! I've been really busy with Alice, YoungLife, cooking and life in general. Alice will be 7 months this week and her personality is really starting to show. I love taking her to the park across the street and making baby food for her. Rainer is busy with YoungLife, WyldLife, and lots of ministries and teaching opportunities around town. We've been enjoying football season and even squeezed in a quick trip to Denver to visit my best friend Kit and her husband Jeremy and 10 month old daughter Loretta!

Road trip: family and friends

Home from China! We took a couple weeks enjoying the hot summer in Mississippi, road tripping visiting friends and family, and at our family reunion at the lake house in East Tennessee. It was difficult at first to relax after being so on-the-go this summer, but we had a really great time. We went to Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, Asheville, Johnson City, the lake house and through Chattanooga on the way home. Alice, being a seasoned traveler, enjoyed meeting new people. It was a great couple of weeks!
