A Daffodil Day in Arkansas

March 9, 2007

Today we went to Wye Mountain, which is in central Arkansas. There is a little Methodist Church there, which sits in front of a hill covered in daffodils! It was gorgeous. Our friend Pat told us about it and took us out there to take some photos. We took about 300 snaps!! (Hallelujah for digital photography!) Here are a few of the great ones!

We made it out just as the rain showers began!! What beautiful spot!!

The Journey Continues

We are a bit behind on updating our webpage. Thanks for bearing with us. After we made our trip from California to Arkansas/Texas we took a couple of weeks to settle into the mission house where we are living for the next few months. Now that we have cought our breath we plan to be posting photos more regularly. Below are a few fun photos from our trip.

Can anyone guess in what city this photo was taken?

Party!!!!



As we began our Journey we stopped for a couple of nights in San Bernardino. There are three families we are close to there. Each family has four kids!!! Joshua had a blast playing with that Schaefer-Mascaro-Massoud Gang! They range from ages three to seventeen.






This young surfer-dude just got back from Hawaii!
Are we jealous?!?



Sorry girls, while you are very cute and sweet, the position of Joshua's fiance has already been filled!












We saved the photo below for last! There are many blog celebrity wanna-be's begging to be on our blog! Susan won this spot. "How did she win this coveted possition," you may ask. When she asked us what we'd like to eat we replied, "Rosa Maria's, of course?!?" The Rosa Maria's provider wins hands down every time!!! Dan, Susan's husband, also an accomplice in this glorious provision, is in one of the earlier photos. If you can pick him out he promises to have Rosa Maria's sitting on your doorstep by dinner time! Rosa Maria's delivers anywhere in the Continental USA.

Happy New Year!!

Well, we thought we would start our page with some family photos. This will just be a quick one to get the ball rolling on our new blog.

We had some family photos taken while in California. The black and white photos are a tradition for the de Bos family. What a joy it was to have Joshua in the photo shoot this time!! He did wonderfully following the photographer's directions.
