Family Night


Tonight we started this new book about kids in other countries and this thing called the 10/40 window. We tried foods from other cultures and had a ton of fun together. Eric is showing the kids the window and they're totally excited. Lucy kept running into the kitchen and stealing food but as you can see here, she likes to be in pictures and when I got the camera out she decided to start paying attention! Our weekend was crazy full. We visited a church in Mennonite country and had a really great time meeting new friends and learning about these cool missionaries who lived in Ecuador for 37 years. I just absorbed all their information and could have stayed for a long time. The people who had invited us lived down the street from their daughter who had a fun house to visit. Their daughter took all our kids over there and when we went to get the kids to go home we couldn't find Lucy. We noticed the bathroom door was closed and I opened it but she wasn't in there. Wait! I hadn't checked the shower! Lucy was hiding in these people's shower, whom we had only met earlier that day, and she was cowering against the back wall with her eyes tightly shut. I guess she thought if her eyes were closed I wouldn't see her. She really didn't want to leave either!
