October Update Part 2: Visit to the States!

Hello Friends!
The blog has been very quiet lately because we have been travelling.  And working.  Working a lot, but doing exactly what we came here to do and we love it! I can't believe how quickly the months are ticking by, sorry for the lack of updates, but I'll try to get us caught back up :)





In October, we had the opportunity to travel to the states for my brother Mark's wedding.  Thanks to an incredible team here on the ship, we were able to leave the Ponseti program temporarily in very capable hands so we could have some special time with family for a few weeks.

Autumn is my favourite season, and I haven't seen October in Indiana since 2011- it was so refreshing!








My sister is now a freshman at Purdue University- I'm so glad that her fall break was during our visit so that we had some time together!!




The boys had lots of time playing games with Nick :)



And Mark and Selina's wedding day was beautiful!!!  We were so grateful that we got to be there in person to celebrate with them.  



Selina you are stunning! And we are so glad that we get to have you for a sister!!!






We are so thankful for the time we got to spend just being together with family.  As a bonus, on our last day our flights got changed around and we ended up with one surprise extra day in Indiana.  We surprised the boys when they came home from school and had one more night of games and crafts.  :)



We celebrated an early 8th birthday, too! :)



My parent's pond gets so still in the evening and makes a perfect reflection, it's my favourite time of day.  



More updates coming soon on life here in Madagascar and the Ponseti program, thank you to everyone who keeps up with our journey- we appreciate you!
