July

There was a lot of activity in July- Black Rock Retreat, an EMM event for missionary families, visits to professionals, and presentations to supporters and reunion visits of various kinds. We also had the boys in Bible school at a different church this year since Lititz church did not run Bible School this year, and they really enjoyed it.

In between we do impromptu science lessons, like when a bea hive had to been knocked out of the lamp by the door.


We got to play games with my grandmother who is 94, living in assisted living room now. She really does well for her age and the various health problems she keeps overcoming.
And Gregg and I did a first get away for one night to Churchtown Inn and then on to Crystal Cave.













At the end of the month we had a chance to experience Dutch Wonderland together with my sisters' family so the boys each had another child to hand around with. Great Fun. The boys then went to their place in NJ to stay for a couple of days while Gregg and I had 2 days to ourselves... first time since the boys are with us. And it went well! They were clearly glad we were back and made efforts to regain attention but it was gradual too since we were still with Carol's family another day all together and their natural play friends, their cousins were there.
