Remember the Evans? (See
this post and scroll way down to the bottom. :)) They stayed at
our (The Kelvans) house the
whole time we were gone on our trip. They took
care of it, our dogs and cats, including the newest litter that were born during our trip, and they just
loved on them more than we ever could have,
esspecially Tyler and Eli and Sarah Joy. :) They
built a firepit right in the middle of our driveway (not really, but it sounded better this way ;P),
made a concrete path around the side of the house,
cleaned out the barn and made it speck and span and much, much more. :) They had a
wedding for Cooper and Erin. A
beautiful wedding (from what I can see in the
pictures). They wore our clothes. We got to spend at a lot of time
together, most
precious time, before they left for the DR at the end of October. We stayed up really late with them,
watching movies in the bed and drinking extra coffee-creamered up
coffee and got up early,
really early, a little
too early to drink some more of that coffee and take them to
the airport. Twice. One thing I will always remember that
Grayson said, whilst packing
everything in
a plastic container, "I can believe how much
stuff I have!" All of it had to fit in that
one container. If only I could gather up the
courage to put all of my stuff into
one container! I
miss them all
very dearly and I cannot wait until
November 20th!
Mrs. Melinda will be flying in to Georgia, where we will be meeting her at the airport to bring her back to our house. Then, sometime the next day, she and my mother will be flying to China, to go and recieve her and Mr. David's newest little blessing, Naomi Rose! I cannot wait to meet her and I'm so excited for them and for my mom to be able to have this experience. I'll be surprised if my mother doesn't want every child in China to come home with her. I'm sure she will. Melinda too. :)
Be praying for their journey with safety, no stress, and a good time of Christian fellowship!
