Trip to Antalya, Turkey

Towards the end of March, we were able to go to Antalya, Turkey for a meeting and a few days in the sunshine and warmer temperatures!  I remember the first time that we bought tickets to go to Istanbul, Turkey and how I was not very excited at the thought of traveling there.  However, I have to say, that I LOVE Turkey.  It is a beautiful country and has lots of rich history and natural beauty to enjoy!  Here are a few pictures from our trip.  

TRIP TO DISNEY

We were so blessed to be able to go to Disney World for a week in February with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sherri.  We had lots of fun together and made lots of memories.  Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures taken while we were there!  The kids had a BLAST!!!

Liberty and Friends

We had fun visiting Liberty University and seeing some friends from Moscow.  Ella was especially glad to see all of them.  We had fun touring the campus and taking them out to eat and catching up on what is happening in their lives!

Washington D.C. Trip

We had a GREAT time in Washington D.C., seeing all the sights and visiting Michael, my nephew!  Ella already wants to know when she can go back.  

 Of course, it started snowing the second we pulled into our parking spot as we arrived.

 I wish I could make a speech from this place.  I have a few things to say!!

Bethany Baptist in Winston-Salem

We were also honored to be invited to speak at Bethany Baptist in Winston.  We were blessed by the people there and enjoyed being a part of their traditional and contemporary services.  It was also a big highlight to be able to sing with an old childhood friend.  We hadn't seen each other for many years!

 Thanks, Erin, for agreeing to sing with me.

 Ella visited a Sunday School class and helped share about Russia.
