All of a sudden, time is getting short. We've had such a great time with our kids and grandkids, it's going to be difficult to say goodbye.
While Shannon, Maleia and Josiah were napping, I made a creamy peach pie and a strawberry pie. It was easy because Daniel cut up all of the fruit! After naps, we went swimming and had a picnic of sorts. Ruth, one of Shannon's friends from church, and her two children joined us. Her husband, a geologist, is in Alaska on business for two weeks. Shannon's brother, Brian, was also there. Josiah was a good baby and just dozed off while I was holding him.
Jon called from Sweden today; he made it to school and is getting settled in. He said that there is already a cold wind blowing! New students are arriving--everyone should be there by Monday and then classes start on Tuesday. Sounds like all of the students speak English so he's thinking he might not have to concentrate on learning Swedish. Evidently, the Internet service on the island is pretty sketchy so Jon thinks that Skype is out of the question and that sending pictures is going to be difficult, as well. Guess we're going to have to settle for an occasional email!
Love these 4 pictures: Big sister/little brother; Josiah up close; Maleia waiting in her car seat and Josiah playing on his new quilt!
