The Yorozu Family Visit

I'm going to start with our friends from Japan visit to Indiana. The wife, Megumi, was my teacher while we lived in Japan and we had lots of fun getting to know their family. So we were thrilled when they decided to make a trip to America! Their most favorite activity while in Indiana was horseback riding. Shu san, the father, said it was the best feeling in the world to be riding on a horse through the woods. This picture is of Sterling and Hinako (age 10) riding Blue together.

This picture is Taiyo (age 8) and Sterling at the fair with my dad. Taiyo loved Jerry san. They liked the fair, but mostly thought it was stinky and were surprised that the animals were all out and not in cages (particularly the cows!)

We took them to St. Louis for a couple of days to do some sightseeing. Everyone but me, Linda and Nelson got to go to a Cardinals game one evening. It was a big hit too- everyone had fun and the Cards won.



We also went to the City Museum which was awesome. The kids all loved it. Nelson just sort of observed.

The first stop we made was the arch, of course!

We also took them on a tour of the Depauw campus and they took this family photo for us. Nelson is 7 months old here.

We're Back!

Well, it's official, I have the internet again! That being said, it's 10:30 at night and I'm tired so no new pictures now, but they will be coming soon! We've had a great summer with lots of fun and visitors so there are tons of pictures.
The extremely quick update: Luke got a job at Greencastle Christian Church (my home church) as the Adult Discipleship Minister and so we will be making our home here! We are looking forward to everything that this stage in life is going to bring.
