The 4 Little People

Guess who came to visit us?
For the past week and a half, Joy, Elainah, David, and Benjamin have been staying at our house while Daddy, Mommy, Joshua, Lillia, and Hope enjoy a vacation to Israel!  I met Mom at the airport in Tucson and picked up the children.  She flew back to PA an hour later and they left for Israel the next day!  Here are a few pictures of the children's time here.  We loved having them stay with us!

They loved playing with Ernie and Bert.

Benjamin thought he had to carry both kitty's at once! :)

Bert doesn't look like he wants to "dance" :P

Swinging on the little play set...

We did school together most mornings.

Playing "Trouble" one evening.

Justin was cutting the wheel track on the pivots one afternoon so Joy, Elainah, and David went for a ride!

The girls got to go first...

...patiently waiting for them to finish so he could ride.

Poor Ben fell asleep before we got to the farm so he didn't get to ride in the swather.


David got to ride with Justin for about an hour and then they rode home together.

The two boys :)

Blue tongues from their eegee's slushy!

All ready for church Sunday morning!

Can we just say "AW!" 
Little Benjamin is so cute!

One rainy day after school David got the idea that they should make "hot air balloons".
So they punched holes in the cups and tied strings from the cups to the balloon.
They had so much fun throwing their balloons up and watching them float down for a "landing".

Jubilee turned 3 while they were here so the children all made birthday cards for her!
Benjamin working on his card :)

Joshua built Jubilee a little picnic table out of pallets so Micah David, Jubilee, Uriah, and David ate their ice cream and cake on it!

The Strite's have 9 little kittens right now! 


A beautiful sunset one evening...


Helping Justin wash dishes :)

Daddy and Mommy landed in Philadelphia from their Israel vacation early Monday morning.  Mommy didn't even go home!  She just got on another plane and flew out here to see her babies! :)  We got to visit together for an evening before they left the next morning.  We took a picture together before they left for the airport to go home.  Come back again soon!

Looks like your brothers & sisters really enjoyed their time spent w/ you & Justin. I love the picture of Benjamin holding the 2 cats. That's how Rob used to hold the cats when he was little. Thanks for sharing.
