Things were rough for Emily when I arrived.

Oh, and did I mention WILD?


I made Ilo a bow and arrow that worked for a while.

I'm back!

Well I've been gone for a while!  Our daughter Emily hurt her knee and couldn't walk, and I was able to go help out, thanks to some of you who helped US out!  
Here's some photos from before I left.

Famine begins

Beth enjoys "Fluffy", her aide Tammy's dog

I've been working on a costume for Elsa's birthday

Beth found some ladies gloves in our dress-ups and loves wearing them.

The youth gathered Saturday afternoon to begin their time together for the 30 hour famine, to raise money for World Vision.


This is our 31st year doing "the famine"!
