The Halls

At the end of September, Ed went to our Josiah Venture Fall Conference in the Czech Republic, which is the conference that the kids and I don't go to, as it is not set up for kids.  So my friend Gretchen Hall, also serving with JV, and her kids came to spend the week with us while our husbands were at this conference.  It was perfect having another mom and three more kids here for the week, much more fun than being alone.  The husbands returned after the conference, and we enjoyed time together as families again.  This was the same family with whom we spent the week at the beach back in August.  We spent a morning at a town near us where there are many old World War II trucks and tanks.  The kids loved climbing on all of them.  We loved having Justin and Gretchen and their kids here in our home!
