FAMILY PICS

Our family was able to enjoy several days together at Christmastime this last year. 21 people in our house was both fun and bedlam. Siblings and cousins enjoyed the time together and so did Grandma and Grandpa Southwell!

At the Baltimore Zoo with Dave's and Christy's families each of the "kids" experienced being a turtle. I can't remember who said that grandpa couldn't fit into the turtle shell -- but he did.

Ontario in May was cool weather, but some hot fishing! Randy and Lucas were home on furlough from Brazil and so I took the opportunity to get them and Mike and Bryce (Wilkerson) up to the great north land. It's more fun fishing and camping with grandsons.

Grandma having an old fashioned soda at an old fashioned drugstore in Fort Smith, AR with Becca, Jordan and Kaden. Ryan and I were still being served. It was nice to visit the Cassedys and see their new home, new work place, and new church and friends.

Ev and I were able to visit Jonathan and Bobbi Jo Emsheimer in May in Alberta. They were former missionaries with us along the Amazon, but have had to return due to Bobbi Jo's brain tumors and surgeries. She was suffering some set-backs and we believed we should go see them. They are a great young couple and deserve your prayers for them as a family.
