Home in the U.S.A.

We enjoyed our 4 weeks at home in the states. Where did the time go? The following is a quick tour of our time...
We put in the miles! What a joy to connect with our friends and partners in Ypsilanti, Michigan. We are so grateful for your ongoing encouragement and support. We consider it a privilege to be a small part of your global vision to build the kingdom of God around the world.
We put on the pounds! Visiting with family and friends in Indianapolis included catching up with what God is doing in our lives and lots of good food...family pitch-ins, cook-outs, dinner at Aldersgate FMC, and a trip (or two) to the Indiana State Fair which means Indiana sweet corn, fried cheese, french fries, pork chops, ice cream, cotton candy, etc. We are now on the South Beach Diet!
A surprise visit! Dan, Martha and Eli Hummer showed up at our front door in Indianapolis the morning after we arrived in the states. It was a quick few days and we were a bit jet-lagged, but we thoroughly enjoyed catching up and seeing how big Eli is getting.
A new apartment! Hannah is now in her own apartment. She is living in the apartment complex where I had my first apartment in Indianapolis almost 30 years ago. She is excited about having her own place that she is sharing with McKenzie (our yellow lab). We feel good about where she is living.
10 days with our favorite New Yorker! Seth flew in to Indiana for 10 days and we were so glad to have this time when our whole family could be together. He is really loving NYC and is continuing to pursue his artistic endeavors.
