April was our official first month of being in the states on furlough. We don't really have a home base, however we spent time with our families in Texas in between visiting churches on Sundays/Wednesdays.
Jamin and Jesse....getting to see their new baby cousin, Ryleigh.
We assumed that in April, in Houston, the cooler weather would be gone. We ended up having to buy a few winter clothes for a couple of weeks until the cooler weather left. Below are pics of the boys freezing!!!!!! We were glad when summer actually got there. We are used to summer weather all year round!
Jamin with his PawPaw Bruce
Our uncle Curtis and his daughter, Makenzie (our cousin)
Robert with Makenzie....who rarely let just anyone hold her. She finally warmed up to Rob.
Jamin, Clayton and Jesse
The boys with Connie's grandparents
Jamin looking all smart!!! He's not really wearing glasses...these are MeeMaw's!
Jesse, Carson, Colin and Jamin....this is taken the 2nd or 3rd weekend in April. As you can see, it's still cold!
One of Jesse's favorite things to do on furlough was roasting hotdogs. We did this quite often! I just wish we could get Oscar Meyer hotdogs here in the Philippines!
Jesse with MeeMaw Murphy
Doesn't he look like he's up to something?
Towards the middle to end of April, we had to go to Ft. Smith, Arkansas for a national meeting with our organization. Below is a pic of the boys with Bro. Speer.
We had time for a few site seeing trips. This pic was taken in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Notice our little Filipino boys wearing flip flops with their sweat pants and jackets, haha.
Even though Jesse's birthday is in January, he didn't get to spend it with any of his family back in the states. So during Jamin's birthday, we combined the two, and had a little party with just family. Because we had trouble getting both of the families together, the boys ended up with 2 separate birthday parties.
Just some pics taken at a park in Livingston, TX
