While mom and Shannon were here last week, we attempted to get some shots of the kids together. Some of them turned out pretty good!
These pictures wouldn't be possible without Shannon's super cool, super fast camera! For every good picture, there are at least 15 bad ones!!
Here's a couple of the cutest 'bloopers.'
Anna Beth!!!!!
NOW she smiles!!
Here's the keeper:
Juliet is our little Gifted & Talented baby. At 3 1/2 months she's already mastering some pretty tough skills. For one, she's already rolling over both ways: front to back & back to front. She's also started sitting up on her own -- supported by her hands, of course. On Thursday she could do it for a minute or so. Last night it was a full 5 minutes; enough time for us to have a full photo shoot!
Here she is showing off her skills:
One-handed and getting ready to grab a plate (Yes, she's on the table -- but I'm ready to catch her if she falls!):
Showing off in the exersaucer. "No hands, Ma!"
These pictures have nothing to do with Juliet's skills. They just show how advanced she is in cuteness!! 
Rick is halfway through his Poland trip. Thanks to Facebook and Skype we've been able to communicate quite a bit. (Much more than the ONE conversation we had when he went to China last year!) The kids can tell dad all about their day -- even baby Juliet goos and grins at the screen! And I get to learn all about what they've done that day. I've even gotten a tour of their hostel and gotten to meet the other people he's with!
Ed Stetzer (who's a church planting guru) interviewed Rick and posted it on his blog. He also posted a pretty funny video at the end. It's worth checking out!
Also . . . here are some pics that Rick has posted on his facebook. For those who don't have an account, here ya go!
Here's a view from Wawel castle, 1000+ years old:
Here's the outside of the castle:
And the inside:
And our missionary friends, Seba and Erin, with the stuff CityView sent them. And no, Erin didn't choose her wall color or couch! Check out a link to their blog to the right . . . the Vasquez's. Pray for Poland!
Rick getting ready to get on the tram.
Here's Jeremy talking to a group of students at one of the Universities. Jeremy's one of our friends from CityView who went with Rick.
Rick preaching . . . in a TIE. His interpretor is on the right. He said it freaked him out a bit. He'd listen to her instead of thinking about what he was supposed to say next.
And finally . . . Polish food. Although I think he liked it, the guys have eaten Italian and Chinese food as well!
