She's Arrived! Mum flew in a week ago, but before the renegades could run her over, she and Dad took a weekend and visited our dear fellow missionaries, the Norbergs. The Bloemfontein Fair had commenced, giving the two couples an opportunity to set up a booth and talk to people about the LORD.
As crazy as it may sound, the theme of the fair was "The Wild West". African cowboys...quite the picture!
[Catching a rare nap]
Just hours before Dad and Mum were to drive home (8 hrs north), Joel tried to reenact a stunt of his. This boy loves flipping off buildings, walls, trees, etc. Anything high. Only, this time, it didn't work out so well. I can't thank the LORD enough that my friend, Michelle, was there to help out. 3-4 hrs in an emergency room with a broken arm can get pretty tedious. Joel was a real trooper, putting up with all the poking, prodding, shots, teasing, and such like. He is now the hero to 9 big/little kids around the Plot.
Thankfully, no surgery was needed. Just a cast for 4-6 wks. Though he's bummed about the no-more-flips rule, he certainly couldn't hold back a smile at the thought of less chores!
Mum found Joel just laying out in the middle of the yard, fast asleep. On cool autumn days, you take whatever sun you can get :)
Couldn't help but add a couple "sweetness" pix. The nieces sure do love their Aunty Dy.
This is what I must of looked like when Mum came home...well, not quite. They're waaayyyy cuter!
That picture of Dy with the girls looks very familiar... like me with my nieces and nephews. So cute! Thanks for the update.
