On Monday my parents went back to Germany. It is always sad to see them go. This year they spent their entire summer here in Washington. They rented a little apartment not too far from us. What a blessing they are. I have always been close to my mom and one of the hardest things for me to be here in Washington is that my parents are on the other side of the world and miss out on so much. Malia's first birthday, Carl's first day of preschool, Kiana's first spelling bee.
But God is good. While they were here they were able to see Malia's transition from a crawling infant to a walking toddler. They witnessed Carl riding his bike without training wheels for the first time and saw Kiana swimming with no help.
I am truly blessed to have such great parents. They love me unconditionally, they support us and the do not cease to pray for me and my family!
