The Looches Came to Town

We are blessed with so many great friends in life! Erik and Sonya came from Knoxville to visit us here in Montgomery for 2 days, and we had an amazing time as usual. We laughed until or faces hurt, talked about life and the future, prayed together, and just enjoyed our friendship.
We are just 4 days away from our return to Togo, and we have had a fast but amazing time with so many friends that our cup is overflowing. God provided the reconnecting and encouragement that we truly needed, and for that we are thankful... TheEmersons and Luchauers at the Truman Show


Sonya loves Caden so much that here eyes are popping out of her head!Playtime!Word

I've Got the Best Nephews

One of the best things about being back in the States is spending lots of time with my nephews. I've been blessed with 4 little guys to love on and play with, plus a precious little baby niece. Today I went searching for animals with Owen and Dawson around my brother's neighborhood, and we didn't find anything besides some dead fish and some drunk fishermen, but we still had a blast. Owen discovered that he could step on my shadow and that I would pretend that it hurt me, and we wore that game out for almost an hour. Good times...

As the years go by and the boys continue to change, I know that I will cherish these times when they are young more and more...

Spoiled Rotten...And Loving It!

We are discovering what it means to have a child who is spoiled rotten...thanks to grandparents! Caden is quickly learning who he can go to to get his way. But don't we all remember those days?! Isn't that what God created grandparents for...to spoil our children?! And of course, we love it! This picture is of April's grandmother....Caden's great-grandmother, GrannyDot. Her grandparents, parents and brother are all visiting this weekend in Montgomery. We are
so thankful for this time with family while we're back in the States. That is the biggest sacrifice of missionary life...family.

Our Little Gardner


If you have any plants that need to be watered, or even if your grass is a little dry, please give Caden a call. He's taking appointments now for our time in the States.
