Reunited and it feels so good

 Jenny, Faith and Curtis went to Haiti for a mission trip during the week of Thanksgiving.  We saw them before they left but then they left and when one goes to Haiti, there is no contact.  Jenny would post pics every evening on Facebook so that was my only connection to them while they were gone. I thank God they are all home safely and well.  Their trip was a success!  Last night they came out to our house to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Mike had a delicious pork loin and the kids enjoyed each others company in front of the fire. 
 And what's not normal about an evening with friends and having a "plank competition?"  I think Curtis won this one which is pretty good considering that boy just built a house in Haiti all week. 
                                         Nick wanted to read Jenny his report on his flashlight fish. 
                                           Sometimes there just isn't words for these two boys!

It's been a full and blessed weekend.  I was lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving day with my mom and my grandparents (and of course Mike and the boys).  It was a very relaxed and special day.  Today we headed to Uncle Mike's to celebrate the Schmidt family Christmas.  The picture above is of my 85 year old grandparents with most of their great grandchildren (four of them missing in this picture).
