We got home last week after spending 3 wonderful (quick) weeks in the states. We enjoyed spending time with family and friends, a wedding, a pool party, visiting two of our churches, a July 4th firework show, a zoo and so much more!
It's always hard for me to find time to do email and keep up with my blog in the States. So I'm sorry for the delay. Now, that the kiddos are back in a routine and our lives are getting back to normal, it's time to post some photos..... Tiago, our manager at Fiel, came to the states with us. He and Ricky had the opportunity to visit a Pastor in Michigan. The day we arrived in Miami, Tiago casually informed us that it was his birthday. So later that night.......my parents took us all to Carrabas. What a treat!!James was so excited to ride his Jeep again. It was all he would talk about in the weeks leading up to our trip. So my parents made sure that the battery was charged and ready to go when he got here. Just two days after we arrived, my mom, the kids and I went to Nashville for my college friend's wedding. My sister flew it to meet us and we made a short weekend out of it. Here is mom and Lilah at the Nashville Zoo. James insisted on taking a photo on top of the Lion's head at the zoo. He gave the camera the biggest smile.
I had the opportunity to meet up with some college friends at the famous Pancake Pantry. I hadn't seen these girls in 7 years! I was happy that they finally got to meet my kiddos too.
After breakfast, we drove over to the hospital to see Ginny and baby Scarlett who safely arrived the day before. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of her as the nurse carried her off as soon as we got there. :(My sister Carol is the fun-loving auntie to Lilah and James. We said our goodbyes at the airport and Carol headed home to Raleigh, and mom, the kids and I flew on to Florida.We got home around 11pm and the kids were zonked out in the car seats. They didn't even budge when I slid their pajamas on and gentle put them in bed.

What a busy...but fun...trip!
So glad you guys had a good safe trip and were able to see some friends and family.
Hi, I'm the Davison cousin who posted a while back. I recently updated my blog, so there is a link to it here. Glad to see you had a good time in the states. Blessings, April
Hi Kimberly! Thanks for visiting my blog saying hello. I'm Dickie's oldest daughter Debbie's daughter. (I hope that makes sense!) My mom and dad live in Sacramento, CA, and 6 of her 7 siblings live in Oregon. Thanks so much for the sweet compliments about my art and house! I thought the same of your house also, it's so beautiful and I love your colors. I am a mosaic artist, although I haven't done much of it since our little guy was born. I hope to get back into it soon though. I'm so glad you got a chance to know Grandmother. She was an exceptional woman and a Godly role model to me. We used to live next to her in Oregon and I would come down to her house and sit and listen to her missionary stories for hours. My mom actually visited she and Uncle Richard's family in Brazil when she was a teenager. I'm so glad you and Ricky are carrying on the ministry, it's really amazing! I'm glad you have a blog sharing about the ministry and updating people about your adorable kids and family. I'll have to stay in touch! Blessings,
April
