Summer Fun Part 2

I can't believe my last post is dated August 12! What happened?!? Ok. I do have a few solid excuses like: mom and dad's visit, sick and pregnant, and working on final proofing of the Czech version of Good & Evil. Mom and dad are back home, I am not sick anymore (Praise the Lord!) and I am DONE with the translation! So let's get back to blogging!
Mom and dad's visit was wonderful! What a blessing to have them here! Eli and Sofia enjoyed them so much. They played so nicely with them - lots of chasing, racing, wrestling, reading, coloring, walking, biking and all the fun things you do with kids. I especially appreciated their cooking and taking care of the garden while I was sick. Oh, what a blessing!
They came for 3 weeks and here is what we did:
A nice warm welcome at the airport (sorry, no leis;-))

This was a really nice hike in Mount Baker area. Walking in snow in August is always an adventure! A beautiful place that speaks of God's glory! My folks can really appreciate it!


What a view!

Sofi and Eli got to sled for a while too!

Peace Arch Park in Blaine on US/ Canada border.



We did a few hikes in old grown forests around here. My folks know a lot about fauna and flora so it's always a learning experience! Great homeschooling!


And a little bit of home entertainment!
To be continued...check back soon!

You hug your husband very tight at Paris' Airport. And while he flies back to the USA, you take your children home to the Czech Republic to visit babi and deda, cousins and family and everything feels okay because your God is bigger than your fears and worries and you are covered with faithful prayers of your family and friends.   And the things you do at home are awesome. You walk a dog every day. Twice a day. Three times a day. And you cannot wait to do it again the next day. Because you are THREE and you LOVE dogs.  And you hold your grandparents hand and it feels so much better than looking at them through cold computer screen.   And you are 12 and you get to ride a go cart out in the field. And give your little sister a ride, too. Because you are "da man" when daddy is not around.  And you are 9 and get to ride a four wheeler all by yourself and pass everyone on the track, older cousin included!  Because you are totally fearless and
