Summer 2008

This summer while Eliana and I traveled east to Springfield, Missouri to visit Elizabeth and Bryan in their new home. We joined forces with the Springfield crew and traveled south to Little Rock to stay with Rebecca for a few days. Her apartment is directly over a theatre, and that weekend she was performing in the theatre's production of Godspell. Bryan volunteered as Bartender and I volunteered as House Manager (I vaccuumed before the show and closed the lobby door...). The show was amazing and we had a great time touring downtown Little Rock with the girls. Back in Springfield once more Eliana and Amelia hiked a nature trail and swam in Amelia's backyard.

Hiking.

Swimming.

Back in Wichita, a visit from the Hoovers.

A trip to the Wichita zoo with members of our playgroup.

Eliana trying to peddle on the porch. By next spring her legs should be long enough.

Thomas Stover-Watts and Mirjam spent a day with us enroute from New Zealand to Germany. It was lovely to meet Mirjam and to catch up on the news from Down Under.
