Ocean House Fun

Every summer we really enjoy going to the house outside of Grebbestad. Andreas' parents spend 5 weeks there every summer and we join them for some of it. We were there some in July and will go back next week with some friends. This area of Sweden has had more than it's share of rain and clouds last summer and this summer, but we did get one gorgeous day with mom and dad. Samuel also got to spend sometime alone with his grandparents (which he adores because he is the total center of attention). When Sweden is sunny and nice it can be the most beautiful place on earth. We haven't gotten a ton of great days, but we praise Jesus for what we have gotten.

I also wanted to say congrats to my friends the Waggoners on getting to bring there new son home from Albania this month. Please pray that all goes smoothly and Reni will be healthy as an ox. Also pray with me that the time spent apart will go quickly. We also have friends headed for Ethiopia to pick up there two sons. Please pray for their transition into the Kinnell family and their safety as they travel. Praising Jesus for both families and their new children. That is 3 less orphans in the world (together those families represent 6 less orphans in the world... God is amazing).

Enjoy the pics below.

The water was a bit cold.

This is dad's movie star pose!

Amazing sunset.

Mom and dad always make each other laugh, it is so fun to watch them.

Caught in the act of having fun.
