Silas Came to Visit!

Our friends the Luchts came by to visit on Friday and had lunch with us. They were going to the mountains for the weekend and they stopped by to visit for a while. It was so good to spend time with this precious family that we had the pleasure of traveling with to Ethiopia when we brought home our boys! Silas and Will were at Hannah's Hope together in ET and it is always great to re-unite these buddies. We really enjoy our time with the Luchts and look forward to watching their family grow as they wait for their Ethiopian princess to join them! Trying to get these two to smile for a picture is always a bit of a challenge.....

 Just laying around.....

 and playing with some puzzles....

Other weekend activities included Helen strapping on her new (used) roller blades that Colby Grace gave her. She was moving pretty slow, but was excited to be learning to skate!

Today was Orphan Sunday and we all wore our different adoption t-shirts to church this morning but Will doesn't have one! He wore one of his traditional Ethiopian tunics and looked so handsome. I'm sorry I didn't get a family picture! Anyway, it was a WONDERFUL Sunday as our church leadership announced that we are going to be starting an adoption fund! We talked to many people who were so excited about this news and we just can't wait to see how God is going to move in the lives of families in our church as we make orphan care a priority!! We came home from church and watched an Ethiopian man win the NYC Marathon, so we were pumped up! I dressed Will in his ET hat for the first time in a long time, and he kept it on! SO cute!

 Just loved this one of him watching our neighbor mow his grass. So enthralled.....
