November 2007 marked the official decision to pursue working as a community of families, after years of pondering and joking about it. Thus, we have crossed the 3-year mark, and thought we would post some photos to commemorate it.
At the 2007 Louisville conference, with Elise missing.
June 2008: Ann Arbor on a kidless afternoon.
May 2009: Maggie arrives, and Abi is expected.
September 2009: Right before Cropseys left for Kenya
July 2010: Visiting with the Lynns
November 2010: A few nights ago after a big soup dinner with the Popps.
I'd love to hear more about the "pondering and joking" and everything else that led up to your decision to work as a team. Had each of you already decided to head to the mission field? How did it all come about for each person/couple?
ReplyDeleteYou are all so blessed to have found a group of people who share values and ambitions. I'm sure there have been trials, but you seem to be a great family group. You are in my prayers. Rachel, you are amazing...
