Thoughts of Home

I've never thought about "home" as much as I do now that I live in Uganda.

It dawned on me this morning, as I was praising Jesus with Fort Portal church, that every Sunday I envision Caldwell church...where my parents are sitting, how they would love to hold Anaiah during church, how I would love to sit next to them and hear their voices...I can see my Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends. I haven't worshiped with Caldwell very much in the past few years, but I can picture it so clearly.

I was reminded that Caldwell church was hosting the PMC (Partnership for Missional Church) this weekend when I talked with my mom on the phone last Friday. It made me wish I could be there to see so many family and friends!!

For all of you who were able to attend the BBQ at my Grandma's house--I know that you must have enjoyed yourselves. I have spent many hours in that backyard, creating memories that are quite dear to me; it's a GREAT yard, especially for eating with family & friends! I can just imagine everyone visiting- moving from one circle of friends to another, meeting new faces, and eating lots of good food!

For those of you who were there--YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!! Oh, and I hope that Idaho was all you hoped it would be. :)

Here we have Idaho

Here she is--a potato girl already (just like her momma)!
When we were in Idaho, my dad was busy harvesting potatoes and he had the idea to get his sweet granddaughter's picture taken amongst some of the crop.
Anaiah did really well for the pictures, but by the end, she got a little sleepy.


Then, upon her grandma's request, Anaiah got her picture taken on a doll bed that her great, great-grandpa made (it was for my mom, from her grandpa).
I think that she looks awfully cute sitting with all of her little friends!


And I particularly love this pic that Andrew got-she looks so precious!
