Just gettin' comfy...the boys showered after the long and might bike ride...

PRetty tough ride...believe me...Okinawa is an island...but either running or biking...it seems like it is ALWAYS uphill! It can be brutal....;-)

Part of our Okinawa familia....

Gotta love this fun group!!!!!! ;-)

Allen and Kai...playing checkers...the checkers that CoCo gave them for Christmas...

The kids passed out on the blow up mattress....baby and all tucked in too!

One of my favorite books....Awakening your life's purpose....

Kent played hooky on Monday...and we hung at the beach with some of our other BEST friends...The Scherdens....Gotta love the Shrubbs!!

Run, Kai, run!

See, Kai, run!

Such GREAT family!!

Silly family at best!! ;-)

This is the last year for people on Okinawa to get a good chance to transfer to another destination.....and being a BIG decision....the Scherdens have put in for a transfer...and we are awaitin' the news if they did or not!

Even though I would RATHER them NOT go...I know that each family has a destiny...to grow and prosper...and I would NEVER deny any of my friends or family that opportunity to grow and find change....I definitely will miss my Scherdens...deeply...but will be elated on the good news on where God places them!

We love you Scherdens....
