A New Season in Life

Grace's sending off to college open house at 317 Coffee!

We were not here for Grace's High School Graduation so we decided to delay the open house till we were all here when she went to college.  It was fun, beautiful and celebrated Grace!

Family prayer time for Lydia and Grace before they left for international orientation at Moody and Dordt.  Lots of tears, lots of love...God goes with them!  

Traveling to Dordt to be a part of Freshmen orientation with Grace.

A fun little stop at President Grants home in IL.

Happy reunion!

Game night with the international students - Makai made fast friends.

One last very hard, weepy goodbye!

A week later Lydia ended up with Malaria so Josh and Luka brought her the medicine she needed.

Luka stated his sophomore year at Unity and Emalai started 6th grade at HCS the same week college started!

And Makai started pre-school!

Check out Grace's last few posts on her blog!  She did an amazing job expressing what it is like transitioning to college as a TCK.
