There were 2 very special places that we went to while passing through Minnesota on our way back from Idaho. The first place (and where we stayed while in MN) was with dear friends....they might as well just be family. The Baerenwalds were just one of those families where it was love at first sight and it was like you were always friends....you just clicked. They were and are a huge blessing to our family and will always have a special place in our hearts.
Grandma Lovey snuggling and watching a movie with Ephraim and Jireh. Just soaking up the love.
Olivia (aka Livvy) is hanging out with Havi teaching/inspiring her how to crawl!
(Sad that most of Havilah's pictures are blurry....but man, you can still see how adorable she is!)
I can't stand her cuteness! Ahhh! How did we end up with the cutest kids ever??? LOVE THEM!!!!
Our second favorite place in the world is at Michael and Kim DeVries' "farm". Michael is the type of guy that if you need ANYTHING he is there for ya...he might not actually be able to help, but hes there. If he can't help he probably knows who can and will "pull some strings" to make whatever it is, happen! If he can help he will work on fixing the problem/need till its done. Great kind of friends to have! We drove 4hrs (one way and through 2 other states) once to go pick them up (their truck broke down) so when we got to where they were, they treated us to dinner and then we all drove back.....I remember Luke saying that he didnt even have to think twice about driving out to get them, cause he knew if the situation was reversed Michael would have done the same.
Ephraim loves being here....he can run around and play on the "toys"!
Is he not one cool dude or what!?!?!?
He knows hes cool and he also knows hes the center of attention....
Gettin ready to go for a ride with Michael!
Posing for the picture......and then they were off.
Meanwhile, Jireh made a new best friend. She liked hanging with Kim too....lol
Michael's shop....lots of work has been done here. We needed a box to put our generator for the trailer in and Michael and his brother came over and they helped work on it as well as supplying the materials. It took ALL DAY and then some, but they didn't stop till it was finished! (We will get a picture of the box soon!) P.S. the reason they aren't working now is because this was just a visit for fun and catching up...all the work happened 2 days later!
Riding the 4 wheeler some more....
Havilah was getting tired but didnt want to fall asleep in such a different place....she didn't want to miss a thing.
Jireh was waaaay past her nap time too....but there was too much to do and see.
Hopefully we get to see our dear friends in MN again (we plan on driving through at least once more on our way back to ID) We also pray to find friends just as awesome when we get to Idaho.
