Photo of the Week - August 21 & August 28

Hello Friends,

I'm delayed in my posts. I could blame it on time zones after traveling to Geneva, Switzerland last week. Truth be told, I am only suffering from too much chocolate! Here are some of my favorite pictures. I was charmed by the picturesque views of my family's native land.

Friends and family,

This weekend Jeff and I had a chance to volunteer on a landscaping project for a local Peoria school. But, you can see pictures of Jeff and me doing this type of work any week. I selected a picture of Jeff and me volunteering in drama instead...well of Jeff anyway. He is quite the entertainer for the K - 3rd graders on Sunday mornings. Hopefully the picture alone gives you a glimpse of the joy we have during the drama.

Friends and family,

Another year older and happier. This picture speaks for itself. We had a great party at Jeff's parents house. It was a lovely evening!

Friends,

Summer vacation brought my brother and his family to Bluffton...and me too! I spent the weekend with family and adored every minute with my niece and nephew. Among other things, they taught me how to shoot a BB gun.

Enjoy Megan's and Nathan's beautiful faces!

Jada
