Happy Friday! I’m lagging behind on the blog – my apologies. So, here’s a quick catch-up from the last month, starting with Sofia’s birthday (January 8). I can’t believe that she’s four now! Here are some photos of the girls from the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! Wow, it’s been three weeks since we’ve posted any Friday photos. After the holidays, I think that we just needed some camera detox. Anyhow, I managed to snap some shots in the kids room this week. Thanks for praying for these precious little ones!

Happy Friday… and Merry Christmas! Here are a few photos that show what our Christmas preparations look like here in Athens. We may not have the cold or the snow, but Christmas is just as festive in Greece (and loaded with unique traditions – but I’ll save that for another post). Enjoy!

We had a great week of Christmas outreach parties (see Christmas update part 1 and part 2 for more pictures). We shared a great meal – salad, chicken, huge piles of rice, and dessert.

Happy Friday! A wedding and the marathon last weekend… whew, I’m hoping that this weekend will be more restful. Our teammate Susie and friend Youssef were marred on Saturday.

School children… [Read more…]
