Wonderful pictures! Can't help noticing that Michael is growing up. We're thrilled that the kids seem to be having such fun. Great that Amy and Elise are playing Soccer.

What a great blog! Thanks for doing it. We will check it frequently. Our prayers are with you. Hank n Jane
Glad you have arrived safely and are settling into your new home. Girls...soccer's okay, but how about basketball? Don't forget the stuff I taught you! I never had as much fun coaching anyone as Amy and Elise and my Laura! I know many lives will be touched in the Philipines because your family is there. Blessings and prayers to you all, Christine Wallace
Love your blog! I'm looking forward to more pictures and hearing about life in Davao. Love you all, Rosalie
So good to see your pictures. Looks like you had a great trip as you changed locations. The Brown family just returned from 3 days at Disneyworld and we had almost as much luggage as ya'll. How did you ever decide what to pack?! Glad to know that you have arrived safe and sound and that you are getting settled.
Love from all of the IPC Browns
Clear Water to snorkel in!! Georgians with our brackish water are so envious! You look great and looks like having a wonderful time! We love you and miss you so much.
