Farm fun
Leave a CommentRachel had lots of fun on the farm. She got to sit on a giant pumpkin and even play inside Mommy’s suitcase!
Great Grandma Bets & Aunties
Leave a CommentRachel had the special honor of meeting her Great Grandmother Betsey for the first time. We also enjoyed a nice lunch with Bets, Aunt Joy and Aunt Jenny.
Down on the farm
Leave a CommentOur next stop was a visit to my parents’ farm in the Sierra Foothills of northern California. They were in the midst of a busy and productive harvest season! Picking, sorting and selling delicious fruit and vegetables at their very own farmer’s market.
California friends
On the first leg of our journey, I got to see two dear California friends, Lynne and Rosario. They met Rachel for the first time!
Our trip West
We just got back from a great summer trip to California and Nevada. We praise God for the opportunities we had to visit family and friends, and to reflect on His many mercies to us. We’ll share some photos over the next couple of weeks. Here’s the first one from a wonderful day trip we took to Lake Tahoe.
Dogtails
“How could they do this to me? What an indignity!”
Carousel
Rachel’s first ride on the merry-go-round! She wasn’t sure about it at first, but then started smiling with delight 
Lake Accotink
Another summer family outing to a nearby lake where we had a picnic and Rachel got to swing on the swings.
