A Visit With Sankeys

It was a pleasure to have Marc & Melodie visit. Marc and Melodie are missionaries in Mexico with their three sons. It was special to us to have Nevaeh meet Marc and Melodie because, if you'll remember from a previous post, Nevaeh is half Hispanic. Marc and Melodie spoke Spanish when conversing with Nevaeh and she listened so intently. God alone knows what plans He has for this beautiful little girl, but I do have to at least consider the question, "Has God given us the responsibility of teaching a future missionary about the love of an awesome God?" Regardless of the answer, we want to preserve and enhance Nevaeh's heritage in anyway that we can. Anyone who knows Marc and Melodie would agree that they are definitely an enhancement!

This is Robert and Logan. While all of the boys get along well, Robert really enjoys spending time with Logan!

After church on Wednesday night, we had a "fire." "Fires" are a part of Western PA culture. Sometimes you cook something (hot dogs, hamburgers, s'mores, mountain pies etc...) and sometimes you just sit and visit. This night, we cooked hot dogs and visited. And even though the air was crisp and "fallish", we ate some Rocky Road and Butter Pecan ice cream. Just to give you an idea on how crisp the air was-- I was feeding a very bundled Nevaeh a bottle so my dish of ice cream was pushed under my chair. When I got to it there was very little melted! I wore a coat and so did Mark but those Sankeys just hung out in their shirt sleeves! They said something about missing the Fall season.
