Summer Happenings

I'm always amazed at how fast the days fly by.  It seems like we just finished school, but now we're already half way through July!  Here are some of our summer adventures so far:

Missy, Kerri, Andrea, and Anna

 Missy's friend from Sweden, Andrea, spent a week here.  They met a few years ago while both girls were students in the Discipleship Training School at YWAM Kiev.  We took her to NYC and above we're on top of the Empire State Building.

Wayne & Kerri

 Wayne Jr. and Kerri both graduated from Liberty University in May.  We had a graduation party for them.  They also just celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary.  Oh how time flies!

Slava, Jordan, & Daddy

 If there is construction equipment and dirt involved, Jordan & Slava are in it.  We had a new well drilled, and Wayne had to dig the new water line to our house.  For about a week this was the place to be for the little guys.

Jordan has muscles!

Jordan is finally growing and looking more like a little boy instead of a baby.  In a way it makes me sad, but I guess it's time since he will be 9 years old next month!  We can't wait for that cast to come off this week.  Six months is a long time to wear something that you can't take off and wash.  When the cast comes off that means it's time for another surgery.  Jordan will have his rods lengthened on July 23rd.  Jordan cracks me up.  We spent the weekend at our camp and the kids like to play Mad Libs around the camp fire.  For those who don't know what Mad Libs is, it's a word game where you fill in the blanks with nouns, verbs, adjectives, body parts, etc.  Then you read back the story with the random words people filled in and it's hysterically funny.  Jordan had to name a body part for his turn...he said, "rods."  Well, I guess if you're Jordan, rods are a body part!
