The last post was about the ministry we have been involved in and some of the results of sharing the gospel. This post is just a collection of family pictures for the month of May.
The picture above was taken on the beach in Ilheus while we were at the retreat (also mentioned in the previous post). It was gorgeous!
While we were in Ilheus we celebrated Liz’s 14th birthday by taking a group of teens to eat ice cream. Mmmm good!

We all had fun in the pool as well as at the beach…
You know they couldn’t pass up a game of soccer…

Christine burying herself in the sand…

Here’s Sammy enjoying the swing, especially as he hadn’t been able to swing since we first got here!
Joe’s favorite pastime is skating. He also celebrated his 12th birthday this month, on May 17, and got a new skateboard.

These pictures were taken last Saturday night at the Uribis I church as they had a big “Return to your childhood” event.

There’s Liz returning to her childhood, building blocks. No, she never wore her hair up then, but ain’t she cute?
Shane and some friends at the same event…

And finally, a great way to end the month with goodies from home…all our favorites, and my all time favorite – OREO COOKIES!! Yummy! (Oops, I just noticed they are missing from the picture. I must have separated them to be sure they don’t get attacked so soon.) Thanks Papaw and Mamaw! (Shane was busy fixing the new game.)

Well, that was our family fun in May! We are looking forward to all the ways June will be a great middle of the year month, ministry-wise and family-wise.
Hi Everyone! It looks like you have had a really fun and eventful May. Happy Birthday to Liz and Joe! The beach trip must have been such a blast playing in the sand and the waves. The pool even looked so refreshing!
Joe, so glad you’re still skateboarding! Keep up the great footwork and tricks. Way to go! I’m glad you got a new board for your birthday.
Praise the Lord for all the goodies from Arkansas. You will be feasting big time with all the yummy, delicious treats.
Hope you enjoy the summer months of June, July, and August. I miss you all so much! Take care! I love you!

The pictures are just awesome. I especially enjoyed seeing the back to the childhood pictures.
Sammy looks happy with his macroni and cheese.
