Spencer's birthday
Spencer only lives 45 minutes away. So for his 20th birthday we showed up. Here is his HUGE dorm, there is even an elevator!
Here is Spencer's room. His bed is SO high up, he actually sleeps on the futon!
We had lunch at Ivanhoe's... no icecream :( but he promised he would have icecream later with his buddies!

Cousins!
This past weekend we drove to Cedarville to visit Tim's brother and family. Jayson and his cousin G had a fabulous time! It was the first time they met since G was born two months after we arrived in Niger.

School Bus!
Even though we only live five blocks from the school the bus goes right by us and we agreed to let them ride. They are the last stop to be picked up and the first stop to be dropped off.
Waiting on the rock for the bus |
The anticipation! |
So intent they wouldn't even turn around for a picture! |
Caught Jayson before he sat down, Mikaylah's hand! |
Can you see Jayson's face above the 14? |
