The Graber Family

IMG_2682

At the end of July we invited our friends the Graber’s over for dinner at our house. They were preparing to move to Berlin, Germany on August 13th to be missionaries with Mission to the World. I was really excited that they could squeeze in one more meal with us before they left. We don’t know when we will see them again and we are so excited about their future and the work that God has called them to be a part of.

They have an adorable little boy named Peter and Nadia was so sweet to play with him and bring out lots of the cars we have since he loves them.

If you would like to find out more about their work and what they will be doing in Germany – check out their Facebook page. God Bless you Ben, Anna and Peter.

Papa and Grandma Brooke came to visit the last weekend in July and we had a great time. On the second morning we had “wafflemania” in our traditional way 🙂

The funniest part of the visit for me was listening to Papa and Nadia play with the Squinkies. The story lines they made up were so funny.

Benjamin’s Grandma made this cake and it turned out wonderful as always.

We were invited to several birthday parties all in a row that were very fun and I wanted to put some photos up from there. We are grateful for our good friends that we have met at church and watching our kids grow up together is a sweet thing.

Love all these kids!

It was exciting to see Dani try to hit the pinata. I had to hold her hand because she still wasn't stable on her feet, but she loved it.

The party was a huge success and Nadia loved being the only girl invited 🙂 Thanks to our friends for all the fun times.
