A few photos

Sorry for the very infrequent blog posts. I've been meaning to post these photos for a while. The first set are from our trip to Virginia Beach in March to see my family, taken at Golden Coral. The second set are from Thunder Over Louisville, a yearly event here in Louisville that boasts the nation's largest fireworks display. We went with a few friends and had a great time. The fireworks were impressive, rivaling even the ones we saw on Chinese New Year in Guangzhou two years ago.

This is Christina and Andy, the youngest.

Here's Ian and Tyler (6)

Ian's mom and Mary (9)

Tom and Lucy (4)

There were an insane amount of people out for Thunder.

Ryan, Erin, and Chaun

This was the coolest part - they shot fireworks off the bridge and it looked like the bridge was on fire.

Back from the holidays

No, we haven't quit the blog. just took a 2 week vacation. It was such a blessing being with our families - celebrating Christmas, playing cards, watching movies, playing charades, talking, & doing a lot of eating! What a gift from god our family members are!

We also got to be a part of the wedding and reception of our good friends Mark and Katherine. Rarely does a wedding so consistently and clearly honor Christ as well as this wedding did. We were encouraged throughout the entire celebration. And we also got to reunite with some good friends. We forgot the camera, but stole some pictures from friends.

Everyone in this picture was in China together for the 2006-2007 school year (except Katherine)

First dance as Mr and Mrs Ashbaugh
