Our Home

Here are some random pictures of taken at home so you can see our pool on our terrace, how I'm decorating with beautiful Turkish plates, candles, and paintings the girls did.

Gorgeous fake flowers from Mike to Stacey

I love this plate! It was a thank you gift from some friends in Cappadocia.

Painting by Heather in the back of the shelf. Candlesticks from cousins who were in Israel.

Top shelf painting by Brianna. I just broke that big white bowl - bummer! It is no longer on the shelf. Bottom shelf holds precious tea cups and tea pot from Uzbekistan.

Celebrating 17 Years

Aaaahhhhh!
We are all set to go out and celebrate!

Summer Fun at the Sea

We had so much fun at the conference we attended. We swam, ate delicious food, played, relaxed, met new friends, enjoyed old friends, slept in tents, and loved being outdoors.
