Hello All -
Well we sure have been very busy this week. One highlight was a visit to the Frederick Earth & Space Science Center, where we saw a movie in the planetarium called Sea Monsters, and then got to explore the center and hold some REAL live monsters! I personally was only interested in holding the turtles, but Helena was much more brave than I was. :-) A bit of time at Baker Park, and then early supper at Cici's Pizza filled out our day.
We also enjoyed a fun time at home with the Runkles family for lunch and pool play time on Wednesday. On Friday we made a visit to Lens Crafters, where Eduards and Helena were pronounced to have excellent eyesight by a very sweet Dr. Smith who even learned Latvian so she could better communicate with NHFC children! On Saturday we had a brunch with other NHFC host families at the home of Bridget & Sandro Young, in Washington, DC. They & their neighbors graciously gave us some of their parking spots, and we walked from there to see the national museums, etc. We were happy for Helena to get to spend more time with Janna & Inese who are hosted by the Mullieri family of Alexandria, VA. Their family even surprised us and visited at MVCC yesterday, because Jon happens to be friends with Darren DeWald, who was speaking in Pastor Guy's absence yesterday.
Today we're looking forward to spending time with the Henderson family who are MVCC's supported missionaries in Mozambique, Africa. Phil & Elin visited church yesterday with their two children, Callie & Elias, who are 13 and 10, so we planned to spend the afternoon and evening together here today. It will be great to get to know them better, and have the kids play together.
