I was able to work in the room starting Sunday night.This is what it looked like on Tuesday. (School started Wednesday)

Before, it was an art room. This is what it looked like Saturday...

All in all, I'd say we packed a lot of fun into a short summer. And now we're back in Shanghai. We have started school. Michaela is now a middle schooler with a locker and switching classes. She is also starting violin. Alex is a high school freshman, I can't believe it. I have gone back to teaching French part time at Concordia.

I'm not sure who makes a better dinosaur, what do you think?

Here is most people think of when they think Indiana. Farms with lots of corn and soybeans. I never thought I would miss it, but it was good to see it again.

The whole family with Ron's parents at our favorite German restaurant, the Rathskellar, downtown Indianapolis.

Our church and a bunch of my Mexican mission team friends.

We have many questions from our Shanghai friends, what do your friends and family and Indiana look like so here are some snapshots.

More friends and family! The girls had a ton of sleepovers and we tried to get to the pool a lot.

Summer fun!

We were back home again in Indiana in July. We spent a lot of time with friends and family just hanging out.
