Our time with the Nepal family

We were so blessed by a visit from cousin Jyoti and her husband, Rajendra and family. This was the first visit to the U.S. for Rajendra and the children. They have been missionaries for many, many, years and have such a heart for lost souls. We had such a wonderful time while they were here, getting to spend quality time with them. What a blessing it was!!

They had the best time together.

Preshunsa called James her "husband".

Forget Toys-R-Us, it's dirt and plastic spoons for them.

Sewing Day

Time to go find a "secluded" island so we can enjoy ourselves.

Time to load up for an adventure, I'm sure!

We found a beach about 10 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico.

We had the island all to ourselves.

When the tide went out, it made a huge sand bar with water in between,

which was perfect for the littles (and the bigs).

This was our view

Jordan and Rajendra

Time for a little "wave hopping"

All we need now is the boat.

Mrs. Stokes in the snow, I mean sand :P

Ben in "paradise". He LOVES the ocean!!

Heading to shore

"I've had a fantastical, stupendous, marvelous day!!

Nothing like seeing the sunset on the ocean.

Good night and God Bless
