Bowman Family Homecoming

Andre' waiting semi-patiently for his family to arrive.

We are rejoicing that Camille and Pierre have joined their family here in Ohio. We met them at the airport last night. They are all doing amazingly well! We are praising God that they are all home safe and sound. He alone receives the glory!

Visitors in Florida

Bev called me one morning and wondered if we had room for them. The weatherman was calling for yet another snow storm and they thought maybe they would like to avoid it. So they arrived Tuesday morning. We did not have the greatest weather, but we spent some time on the beach and in the sun. The pool was cool because we had had a cool weekend so there was no fun in there. We found a nice large blue crab on the beach that day. All the kids were brave enough to hold it! Thanks for coming, Bowmans, we enjoyed the time spent together.
Kip, Amy, and their family spent our last week with us. We had some good weather and lots of fun! The kids had a great time making a sandcastle and just digging in the sand. I am continually amazed at their imaginations!
Cameron was just not so sure about the pool, but he had fun on the steps!
We celebrated Sami's first birthday! She enjoyed her cupcake very much. Mom and Dad came down and celebrated with us! Happy 1st Birthday, Sami! We pray that you have many more! We are also glad that you warmed up to us after a whole week in the same four rooms!
