several weeks later...

I'm sorry for the silence for so long - we have been enjoying our family and friends in the States for the month of June and most of July... and now find ourselves back in Korea, ready to begin another school year.  This year will be one of exciting changes and Jarrod moves up to the High School to teach in the Theology department, and Marc becomes a big brother next January! As we anticipate this coming year, we hold close the memories shared this summer.  Here are some highlights from our summer travels:

 Enjoying the country, green grass and fresh air!

 <3 the Shenandoah Valley!

 Met our newest niece, Lilliana, and nephew, Shaun - and had a great time with my sisters!

 Spent lots of time with the Steyaert cousins and even got some Grandma Mari loving'

Went to Virginia BEACH with the Puffenbargers over 4th of July week....

 Marc LOVED every moment!

 ...and even went to Chuck E. Cheese!

 good thing he has big cousins to show him what to do! :)

 What a fun family vacation!

 The Puffenbarger Family!

Then we traveled to Idaho to visit my grandmother.

 She enjoyed meeting Jarrod and Marc for the first time!

 While we were there, Jarrod friend from college, Ben, drove to spend a couple days with us!

 And we enjoyed the beautiful weather in my Aunt's pool!

 Grammy Jo love!

We are So THANKFUL for everyone's hospitality, generosity, and love that was poured out on us during our time in the States.  We hope to keep in touch in this coming year!
