Giant cubby houses and the like

Here we have the giant cubby house that kept Evie and Tijs amused for Saturday morning, courtesy of John's building prowess. There were a few tears when I pulled it down the next day.

And here we have Annalise, at 6 months, trying out her first real food, good old rice cereal. Despite the face, she really didn't seem to mind it at all!

We had some new friends over for lunch today, Sandra and David and their two kids, cooked up some hamburgers on the wood fire BBQ out the back, and made it a good aussie burger with beetroot, served on John's homemade bread rolls. It was a nice time and good to hear more of their story, how they have worked as missionaries around Ecuador and elsewhere and are now back in Loja, their home town, for schooling for their kids. How encouraging to see how God is using people from everywhere to tell others about his awesome rescue!
