Happy Birthday, Peanut! We love you. We won’t reveal your age here, but suffice to say this is your last one that starts with a two.
Emily barely got out the door this morning for class without Poppy grabbing a bite of her birthday croissant au amande (almond croissant). Leave your birthday love for Emily below in the comments.
After church today, Grandad took us for a drive in the mountains. Living in a valley just on the edge of the Alps, we have been admiring the snow-capped peaks all around us. We ascended as far as the maintained roads would take us and paused for some pictures. The hymn “How Great Thou Art” comes to mind: When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur…
You can see that it’s not always clear where snow peaks end and clouds begin. But back down on the ground we were pleased to encounter Mr. Donkey, a vineyard, a hang glider, a little village and rose hips. Thank you, Granny, for filling me in on rose hips. =)
Helen, this photo was taken of us on Christmas Day. It is the only one that was half decent because Poppy kept running away and being a cheeky monkey. Better than nothing. I included a couple more that I think will make you smile.
We're Drew and Emily Maust, a linguist and nurse preparing to serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Cameroon. Read more about us and what we'll be doing. Poppy is two. Henry just arrived.
