Scrapbook #1

<-- Almost looks like a postcard. This lake, called "Wastwater" is the deepest lake in England at about 100 meters in depth. It is about a 20 minute drive from our home.


















The girls in front of the many stone walls. The thrill of seeing sheep everywhere is beginning to wear off. In fact, we are begginning to realize that Scripture's comparison of us to sheep is not really much of a compliment. -->





















I like this picture of the kids in front of an old sheep gate. It symbolizes an entry point into the unknown adventure ahead. I wish all 5 of us were in the picture, but up to this point, we haven't figured out how to get the sheep to take our picture! -->






The kids take a break at the "beach" after school.



The views from our home. Note the soccer and rugby fields. Also toward the coast, you can see what looks like a large smoke stack. That is actually one of the old ventilation lines from an now abandoned mine.






















<-- Many of you have rightly asked for a picture of Nathan. We have not yet taken a picture of Nathan with his school uniform, because it has not yet come in. But here is a picture of happy Nathan in front of his school.

We love you all!!!

Awesome write up about the sheep gate.... I especially liked the star of David made into the gate. A God sign if any.

cool! I'm starting to get familiar with the town. At least I'm recognizing the smokestack looking mining vent (if I have it right). Although it may not be as picturesque as other towns, I still think the architecture and especially the countryside are beautiful!

And thank God for a Starbucks stand-in. :)
