Back from Furlough

The past few months have been a blur of chaos and the frustration,

that ended in praise and fun as God perfectly opened the doors needed,

(in His PERFECT time and not mine..at all) and Neiah and I were

 able to come up to the states for a few weeks.

PRAISE JESUS, She is a great traveler and the travel days

went SO smoothly. Because this was her first time to the states

we stayed VERY low key. Mostly around mom and dads house

visiting with a few people here and there.
We didn't let everyone know we were coming because we didn't

want to offend the many we would not get to see during our visit,

because of a short visit time, and trying to keep things as simple,

and 'home' based as possible for Neiah's sake.

 She loved her time with Colt and Brady

 And Jaxon and Kensley.

 We got to watch Uncle Ryan coach and play baseball

 She was able to help mow, and stuck with it until I made her

get off .

 We were able to visit a small zoo and she surprised

me with her boldness in getting near the animals.

 We tried the children's museum with Colt and Brady.

She tried to have fun but had her 'overwhelmed' smile on her

face over half the time.

 There were lots of rides taken on the Polaris.

She wasn't sure of it at first....

 but ended up loving it.

 Lots of time was spent playing on the play ground

 and with side walk chalk

 She loved the afternoon we spent at Jumping Jax

with Uncle Ryan, Jaxon, and Kensley.

 This was her favorite bouncy house and she probably went through

it 20+ times.

 Car rides full of singing with cousins.

 These two did so good together.

I loved watching them play together.

 This was just a super cute picture caught during family pics

 All the cousins

 not sure what to think of all these pictures with these crazies.

Jaxon's one request was to take a 'level complete' picture.

You know how the video game player jumps or does some move

when they beat a level?

So this was our attempt at that.

 

So thankful for the time we had in the states.

Prayers for smooth transition days back for Neiah

and I, and for all the busyness that is to come this week.

Thanks!
