hmm, so it seems quite a few people are super duper interesting in the gift i received from the netherlands. :) well, let me fill you in then! i got a little notebook with a picture of a really cute little girl on the front...with her finger wedged up her nose! at the bottom it says "life delights in life" it's so perfect, i love it!! i also got a stud muffin bank card! hehe...i haven't tried swiping it yet, so we'll see what comes of that!
when i talked to bex and lenneke on skype on friday (which was a hoot, btw) they requested (or was it demanded??) more photos of me....so here you are ladies!! they're not all of me...but they're a few of my favorite pictures from this summer. most of them are taken by crystal (thanks) because my camera was on the fritz for a little while.

Isaiah, Luke & me

Auntie Steph & Isaiah

Shiloh and Me

Shiloh and Me

Pst....we stole those flowers from some one's garden.

Crystal and Lukie (roar!)

and that's all folks....it most definitely feels like summer is coming to an end. fall is coming: people are going to new places, doing new things. i'm sticking to niverville...trying to see what God has to teach me this year.

"Here it is again, the Great Reversal: many of the first ending up last, and the last first."
Matthew 20:16

well, Good God, so be it :)
