In a minefield





Nathan set up a "minefield" in our backyard as an exercise for our summer mission team to complete during this evening's weekly training session (link to our team's blog to see the exerise in action). The colorful balls drew Ellie like a magnet. Recognizing a photo opportunity, I grabbed the camera and got these shots.

While we were discussing the object of some of the exercises with the team, Ellie was making friends with the neighbors. Here, Theresa is pulling a book out of her bag to show Ellie. It's fun to watch Ellie interact with other "little people" now that her confidence has grown and she no longer fears most new people.

Great pictures of Ellie...we can see such a difference in her since the first photos you sent.
Are you guys sending teams into minefields??? It reminds me of my time in Bosnia trying to avoid all the landmine areas!!

As Sarah said -She is indeed lucky

Once again, new pictures of Ellie make my day! Watching her grow and change is nothing short of a miracle. In three weeks, we will have her in our arms once more. Vacation together will be so much fun!
