birthday time

Noah and Luke have their birthdays within 2 weeks of each other this time of year. We visited the far western corner of Austrian last weekend and then yesterday, I took the boys out for the day.

It is all part of the plan to fill up their "time with Dad" account. Because this is also the time of year when I am gone for about 10 days for our annual leadership meetings.

This year Reinhild gets to go with me for these days of endless meetings, teaching, worship and connection. The kids will stay here and carry on with their life. They will be with our teammates, and are looking forward to the chance to be "free at last" !

Here they are with friends at Luke's birthday party.
