We were surprised this morning by the arrival of our previously next door neighbor Mr. Williams, who recently moved to Utah with his family. He was only here for a little while and then had to fly back home, but we did have the pleasure of enjoying his company for breakfast. 

After breakfast Mama, Bethy and the little guys headed off in our new rental vehicle to run errands. 

Charming.

Through the eyes of a child...
Hi. I'm Yerik, and I'm going to tell you about going with my family to the meeting on Sunday for church. It was fun! I woke up and went downstairs to eat breakfast with Daddy, Mama, Rachel, Bethy, and Arman. Alan and Katie were a long way away in a place called Illinois for a wedding. Then I went upstairs and put on my sunday clothes, and went and got in my Daddy's big black truck with my family and Daddy drove to church. And that was how my day started:)

Daddy said this meetingplace was called "The Christian Gathering Place."  

And my big brother Arman helped me get some flowers to take to my sisters.

Oh the possibilities! Namely fishing. (I thought for fish, but my sisters said more likely for little boys who fell in while in the process of fishing.)

The meetingplace.
