Hanging Out

As I sit here updating my blog, the girls are hanging out drawing and making paper outfits and giggling. I am so enjoying listening to their interactions. It makes me sad to think that at this time next week, I will no longer be able to hear this interaction because Mari-Liis will be leaving to return to Estonia.

As we sit here, with the windows open, because it is not storming and not hot and humid, we feel the cool air and smell the campfire from our neighbor's fire pit. What a great night!! I thank God for His indescribable blessings upon us!
