June's Schedule

Yesterday was our last Sunday at Liberty Church for a long time. We had a good time sharing about Mali with our Sunday School class. We felt increadibly blessed to have all of our friends spend some time praying for us. We will truly miss everyone at Liberty!

Here's what we will be doing for the next month:

May 31st
Load up a U-Haul with all of our belongings
June 1st-2nd
Store all of our earthly posessions in a storage unit in Fayetteville. Get AR driver's licenses-with valid addresses. Take care of paper work. Rest a little... (maybe!).
June 3rd-4th
Drive two cars to Chicago. We will be leaving our Honda with Heather and Mo.
June 4th-7th
Spend some time with Harmony's sisters and their families. We'll get to see 4 of our nieces and nephews :)
June 7th-9th
Drive to NC. We'll be taking a couple of stops along the way.
June 10th-17
VACATION on the beach with Briant's family!
June 19th-23rd
Briant will be training on the King Air 90 in Waxsaw, NC. I'll just be hanging out.
June 24th
Fly back to AR. John and Katie will be taking care of our Pontiac for the year.
July 1st (+/- 3 days)
FLY TO MALI!

Easter Sunday

We spent Easter afternoon at the park with Angela's family. I think it was 95 degrees out. Knowing that it's supposed to be 106 degrees in Bamako on Tuesday, 95 really doesn't seem that hot anymore. Briant is with Forest and has Cory on his back. Harmony is with Jackie.

Fencing

It's amazing the games that boys can come up with! This is Briant and Forest in their "fencing" atire, complete with bike helmets and sunglasses. The swords are really miniature pool sticks.

Dinner at Tim's

Our last afternoon in Fayetteville, we ate at Tim's Pizza. We just wish Greg could have been there too.

Fayetteville Pics

Here are a few more pictures of our week-end in Fayetteville. Mawmaw, thanks for staying an extra day to see us!

Sophie loves to ring the doorbell and say "Who is it?" - even when she's the one doing the ringing. She gets especially excited when Papa opens the door.

Two Birthdays!

We spent the week-end of April 1st in Fayetteville.

Here we are celebrating both Bill and Margie's birthdays - a little early. Mawmaw, Gretchen, Sophie, Briant, and Harmony were all present.

Crossing Paths...

While on our way back to Tulsa from NJ, we had a layover in Chicago. At the same time, Heather and Moises had an outgoing flight to Puerto Rico. We met up at American Airlines at O'Hare. Amelie kept trying to crawl away in the airport. She's fast!

Spring Break with the Winslows

Here we are in Ventnor, NJ! We played with the kids, walked on the boardwald, went to Chucky Cheese's, and played Settler's of Catan. (Harmony won 2 out of 4, by the way...)

The Tigers

A King Air 90

Briant will be flying a plane similar to this one in Mali.
We just found out that his training will be June 19-23, in Waxsaw, NC.
