God Called and We Answered: Finally uploaded some summer pictures- I'm a little behind:)

Me, Rachel, Amy W., Stacey, and Kim- my besties:)

And all of our kids:)

The husbands posing for a 'senior picture':)- Fritz, Shane, Seth, Greg, and Mat

Glad we could take these kids outside for their meal!:)

Lezer and Temesgen- Lezer came up for a visit and we went to the pool and hung out at our house- made Temesgen's day!

Temesgen and Lezer

This was Temesgen's first time using scissors (in his life!). He was very proud of his coloring and cutting! And Landon just loves to be in pictures so he gladly posed with him.

Jonah, Temsegen and Landon watching some TV at the end of the day

Mommy got a beautiful new dress (Thanks to my mom) and I had to pose with my 2 boys who will make good husbands some day because they notice it and love to tell me I'm pretty- I love that!

Landon and Temesgen watching some Olympics

Kalid got glasses! Thankful he failed his vision test at his well-child visit before school started. He'll be in kindergarten starting next week! They help him see so much better- makes me sad to think if he was in Ethiopia, he'd just have to struggle with seeing his whole life. Thankful for the access to medical care we have here.

A family trip to our cabin in Green Mountain Falls (well, not 'our' cabin, but our family's). Here they are at the North Pole- LOVE that place!

Temesgen was a huge fan of these motorcycles! He didn't love the spinny rides quite as much as a couple of his brothers (Landon can't take the spinning and Kalid is too little to go by himself and he has 2 parents who also can't take the spinning!). Abuzaid was a huge fan of the Tilt-o-Whirl. I can't even look at that ride without getting a little sick!
