Life is cruising along at a break-neck speed with the Preston Road visitors here! They have experienced the local grande marche, village visits, the swimming pool, fellowship with the team and (unfortunately) delayed luggage arrival. The group has already been a huge encouragement to our family. At the moment, Bryan and the rest of the gang are enjoying safari at the Pendjari Game Park in Benin. They will return on Saturday afternoon. Therefore, I am blessed again to be at home alone….packing!!! Before they left this morning Isaac found me in the bathroom brushing my teeth and said in an observational tone, “Mom, you like having a break from us don’t you?” Is it that obvious?
Below are two pictures from Graham’s family birthday party. Graham requested a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and peanut butter creme filling. (That’s the same cake Owen had!) We gave our budding artist his own sketch pad, colored pencils and drawing pencils.
I took the ladies of the PRCC group to the big local market. You can practically buy anything there! We spent most of our time in the fabric section choosing just the right patterns which is a challenge because there are so many to choose from.
L-R: Darla Sanderson, Teresa Boyd, Chrystal Chambers, Holly Thigpen and Angela Boyd
Stone Sanderson and Graham have enjoyed playing baseball together every spare moment!
More pictures and news to come!
Love all the pictures - glad you have some time alone. I know the PRCC folks are a blessing - hopefully they will be carting off alot of your stuff and that will really begin to feel like the end is near!
Kelly and I enjoy your LONG GOOD BYE posts alot - it was this time last year when we were in the huge mix of packing and selling and craziness! We know well all of the emotions and thoughts.
Blessings -
-Randy
