Family, Friends, Food... Perfect Recipe for FUN!

It would be impossible to summarize all the people, activities, projects and goings on that take place in our family even in just one month! So, instead of trying, I’ve collected a good sampling of the photos we took while we were in the US during Sept – Oct. If, in fact, a picture is worth a thousand words, than I’ve just created a blog entry that would be larger than most university text books!!!

Let me introduce our US family briefly:
Amanda is the third of 12 children an has absolutely incredible parents – definitely God’s gift to us. The run down is from oldest to youngest:
Jason – married to Kathryn
Josh – married to Natasha
Amanda – married to Zeno (this is us!!!!)
Jared – married to Becca
Sarah
James
Joel
Justin
Emily
Jordan
Lydia
Jesse

Then there are our 7 absolutely adorable nephew and nieces:
Jaron, Kylin, Kirra, Kelci, Lillianna, Margaret and Victoria ( =

We LOVE You ALL!!!!

(please excuse the fact that I had a lot of trouble getting the proper names aligned with the pics... I gave up in the end. I bet you can figure it out though!!!!)
