Florida beach house!

We have been in the US for...let's see...I need to check the calendar, um...one day shy of 2 weeks.  We have only changed location once!  We arrived and spent two nights with my parents.  Then we moved to "the beach house" that is located right by Clearwater Beach.  We have enjoyed the time on the beach, shelling, swimming, sitting in air-conditioning, an and just being.

We have spoken in a church service (3 minutes), shared in an ABF (Sunday School), and sharing with a small group.  This week brings another opportunity to share in my parent's ABF and with another small group as well as spending time with the associate pastor at Clearwater Community Church.



As I write this, Tom, Matt and Hannah are driving south from Indiana.  They spent last night in Ringgold, GA and hope to get here tonight.  Amy just completed a one hour run and is showering.  Nate is watching a kids' show on PBS and Rachel is enjoying sleeping in.

We move locations tomorrow to a different condo, still in FL.  We are so grateful for the generous people who are allowing us to stay in their homes.

We are looking forward to celebrating some occasions with my parents:  Matt's graduation, Rachel's birthday, Nate's birthday, our anniversary and just being together.  What fun to be near enough to spend time visiting parents.  Here are some pictures of visits with my parents.

Just saw the pictures of the kids playing games...I am going to get Apples to Apples to play with everyone at the get-together that my side of the family is having the beginning of august. Hope it is even 1/2 as fun as it was playing with your family. :)
