Aunt Sara





Last weekend we had a wonderful visit with Josh's sister Sara. It was a treat to have her here and we packed in a lot of fun in a few days!
It started out with a trip to the airport to pick her up. Hallel is fascinated by airplanes right now so sitting in the airport watching her plane arrive was a thrill. On Saturday we were up and off to Sonoma to visit our favorite Sunflower Cafe for coffee and a walk in the park. We drove through the beautiful vineyards and even stopped for a tour this time. It was fascinating to hear the process of growing grapes. On the way home we had dinner at the Broken Drum in San Rafael (because Josh found an awesome coupon for 80% off:).
On Sunday we had a wonderful day of worship at our church and the unveiling of the new name and logo. Our Abiding Way church will now be called Red Hill Church and we are super excited at what the Lord is doing there! Sara was able to support Josh's Bible Study that he is teaching on The Basics to inductively reading your Bible. And after some afternoon play time we ended the night by watching Invictus. A great story about the leadership of unity through Nelson Mandela and the South Africa Rugby team. This was fun because Sara lived in Burundi for over 2 years and watched a lot of Rugby. Then all too soon it was back to the airport and lots of hugs. We will see you in Oregon next time Aunt Sara-we love you!

  1. Sounds like such a fun time! The pictures are so cute and I wish I could pinch Simeon! I love how much Hallel's hair is growing.
