Let the Games End

The Olympics are over.

Now the only thing on at 3 a.m. is Hillbilly Handfishin'.

The only thing more entertaining than rhythmic gymnastics

is catching a 50 pound catfish with your bare hands,

or being eaten by a large T Rex,

or talking to mom in Minneapolis :) !

A Farewell to Carlee

Two months and 10,000 fruit flies later, Carlee Smith goes west

to the land of Nashville, home of Vanderbilt University and the

Grand Ole Opry. Carlee has been a blessing for us many times 

before, but never so profoundly as the summer of 2012.

Thanks, Carlee

Coming and Going

Grace returned safely from El Salvador, with stories of hope, a vision of the kingdom of God,

and a few gifts for her friends back in the USA.

Meanwhile, Carlee was on her way to Manhattan.

Night falls on everyone under heaven, but soon the morning comes.

Carlee Hugs

Some goodnight hugs and kisses for the Carlee

Iron Chefs

The Thompson Kitchen

The only thing more fun than baking

is watching cat videos on YouTube with Samuel

Unwanted Facial Hair

Carlee and Samuel have been bored busy trying to determine what Samuel

will look like in the future as a detective, a rodeo star, or a famous artist...
