I am SO behind in posting, as we have had the most adventurous fall ever! We had visitors and work teams, field trips and Robbie away on Expeditions! So much going on, and during the thick of it, not much time to sit and blog about it! So I am catching up on October adventures in December...such is life right now! We had so much fun hanging out with Robbie's parents, sister, and brother-in-law! We started with a tour of Doulos, then spent some time at the beach, and finished with a week-long stay in Jarabacoa, filled with house projects and classroom visits! The pictures will tell the rest! We loved sharing our life with them and are so grateful that they came to visit us!
(I'm not even sure where to start in sharing pictures, as after we combined all the pictures from all the cameras, I think I have somewhere close to 1,000 pictures! Yowzers!)
