Adam turns 17 in Kona!

Adam had a fun day. The family went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then Adam had a bunch of friends over to the apartment-no surprise there. Can't believe he is one year away from 18!

Bob-o thought I should put a picture of the turtle since I mentioned swimming with it. This is actually a distant cousin of the one I swam with, though they are hard to tell apart!

Guess I should put some text with all these pictures. It is not all fun and games here but we do enjoy our down time, what little we have. Adam is learning to surf and Eli is the snorkeling expert. He and I have been several times together and have seen every kind of fish imaginable (well not every kind, but lots) and sea turtles. Today I got to swim right along with one for about 3-4 minutes it was so cool. Classes have been so good and so challenging in many ways. Lots to take in and process every day. Do I fully understand the depth of his love for me? Do I want to be change in my thinking abut the sacred and the secular? Why is not every thing sacred? Why did God create this material world for us to live in and have dominion over? How do I do that in a way that is honoring to Him and a blessing to others? Lots and lots to think and pray about.
We are doing well and await the arrival of Stephanie in the next week or so. She is currently in Japan after having been in India for two months. Can't wait to hear all her stories. Till next time,the adventure continues.
