Independence Day

Happy and Cade Weaver and of course Samuel. (Samuel really likes these two).


Jennie Weaver, gorgeous Swede!

Dessert, thank you Jennie (notice the colors)

Silly little people.

Of course Sweden doesn't celebrate July 4th, but we still try to make it a special day by getting together with other Americans. So we ate a wonderful steak meal with some friends. Pictured above you will see Samuel and his friends Happy and Cade. You will also see their mom, Jennie. However, and I am very sorry, I neglected to get a picture of Twain (who is the American in the family). They have become really good friends and I enjoy their company greatly. Best of all, they love the Lord, which makes their company all the better.

Twain is from Pennsylvania and, as we found out on the 4th, an excellent griller of steaks. Jennie works during the evenings at a bakery and is a fulltime mommy. She will soon be a Pastry Chef (I think that is the equivalent of what the Swedish term is). Happy and Cade are Samuel's good friends and Samuel constantly wants to play with them. We had a great 4th together and Twain lit a candle for our fireworks. We also had the priviledge of having Jennie's youngest sister with us, she just returned from 10 months in Hawaii working with Teen Challenge. Thanks for the great evening guys!!!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July. If anyone has any extra Old Navy shirts for this year we would love to have them. Samuel needs one, the one he had last year is now a middriff shirt (not so becoming).

Blessings,
Laurie
