Fall Days

Now here are pictures of our favorite park during the best time of year. It is called Crowell Park and it is only a mile or two away. It has a soccer/football field, baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball courts, hockey rink, playground, walking/jogging path, a hill for winter sledding, and many beautiful views. Now all I need are some friends who will play disc golf with me after I make up a course! I study here often and also try to meet people in the community. Our Jack Russel Terrier, Linus, particularly loves it here since you will see 5-6 squirrels at one time :)

Quiet Places

These are the last green pics I took before Fall hit and the leaves changed color. The creek is not too far from our home and is a beautiful place where you can forget that you are in such an urban environment. Many people fish in the various creeks and rivers around here...and I have even heard of some large falls within a few miles...but that will be a post for a later date. The parks are great places to refresh yourself and the children. We've been going to a park I find particularly beautiful (this ain't it) that has a hockey rink. The boys are enjoying some floor hockey while I study and Elena swings with Mama. More pics coming soon.

Transitions

And the wheels keep on turning. I'm thinking about getting some new rims for my beat-up grand caravan and cruisin around with the windows down saying, "hey, you like my minivan? (My wife thinks that's a bad idea.) Seriously though, I could use a new hubcap. It is slow getting to know people here...mostly since we are so busy trying to make our own transitions. Thankfully we have begun to invite people over to the house and show some hospitality. I am pushing to be fully settled by the end of the year and ready to dedicate mass amounts of time to evangelism and hospitality. Please pray for this with us.
