Friends, Family and Football!!!

Playing catch up on photos from our Ohio visits!

LEFT, ABOVE: It was a treat to visit my Aunt Miriam, Uncle Don, and cousins Derek and Luke (who was up from Alabama for Thanksgiving).
RIGHT, ABOVE:  Reni acting goofy with Nancy Landerholm

Below:  We were blessed to share at Faith Memorial Church in Lancaster a week ago Sunday!  This is Mom and Dad Waggoner's home church and where we worship whenever we are in town.  We received a very kind endorsement from Pastor Morgan and met some lovely new people.  It's wonderful to be at a church that values missions!

The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving Day, Steve, Rachel and the kids arrived from Delavan...  Ellie and Reni were thrilled that "The Cousins" had arrived!

 A beautiful table decorated by Mom...

I hope this becomes our new tradition... FOOTBALL after lunch.  So. Much. Fun.  For "touch" football, I fell down A LOT!  Maybe it had something to do with Nathan and I playing on opposite sides.

Relaxing in the basement, watching something (Funniest Home Videos? I can't remember)

Then brunch and 'goodbye' on Friday...

After The Cousins left, Reni was looking at a photo of all the grandkids together and asked, "Which one is that?"  Ha!  Someday he'll get their names all down. :-)  After all, we did have ten kids here under the age of 12!

Ever heard of geo-caching? This may be a new family activity while we travel on homeland ministry... Nathan had the brilliant idea to leave Albanian lek coins as our contribution at each spot.

Once you locate the cache, you can swap out items in the container and sign and date your name that you've been there.  Nathan also found a place online to document our discoveries.  We like cheap/free fun whenever it can be found!
