Kittye here. Emily is worn out from volunteering at camp this week, so I'm updating for us. We have settled back into life after our trip to the beach and D.C., with lots of paperwork. Somehow we didn't receive the email that our visa applications had to be in by June 22, and just figured out TODAY that it needed to be done last week...trying to get it FedEx tomorrow. We received our Article 5 last week and looks like it's 3-5 weeks until we get travel approval, then hope to travel 2-3 weeks after TA. Hang on Caroline! It won't be long now!
We celebrated Gigi's 6th and Will's 10th birthdays in June, and Michael turns another year older on the 4th of July! (He will then be as old as his aged wife. Someone get him a cane! We plan to celebrate with fireworks, Mississippi Mud Cake, and best of all, ALL of my children will be here with us for his birthday for swimming and speed scrabble.
Tonight Ben played fiddle at Amber Falls and did a fantastic job (should be on YouTube soon), while we sat on our blanket and enjoyed music and a picnic put together by helping hands. Annie made bread, David popped popcorn, Annalise made Blondies and carrot sticks, and I filled in the gaps. The breeze was light and cool, and as we looked out over the beautiful landscape, we felt refreshed and reminded of God's goodness and greatness. He is so, so good.
