last round of Hungarian Summer pics
These photos were taken at an open house in Budapest. We had a great turn out. It was so wonderful too see friends we have not seen for a long time. For most of them this was the first time to meet the Quints and even David too.
The get together was held at the appartement where I (Manna) used to live before I moved to the States and got married. So it was fun to bring the addition.
As fall is officially here it's so refreshing to view our moments captured in the pool (the name of the place is Pa'pa) where we took them. We had a great time. Used a slide. I never know if the kids or us have more fun. When we went to have lunch at the cafereria the staff gave our children a chocolate coverd waffel ("for big people") Unfortunately they picked up a stomach bug which lasted until got home into the States. At least we experienced this too...and really the first time in 2yrs. (at least we had fun).
The next updates will be right around their B'day now. We are really excited and have lots of ideas how to make it fun and celebrate God's faithfulness in our life reflecting on the two years behind us.

Visit with the active adults
The quints grandma works with the elderly. She is in charge of fun events and activites for the local elderly club.
These retired folks keep up with what's happening with us so we could not miss out on making a trip down there to see them.
They loved on the kids. You can see it in the pictures huged them, crawled after them, spoiled them with chocolate filled goodies (before lunch). Just look at their smiles. They wrapped each other around each other's fingers if it makes sense :)
It was so precious to see all these old people who are young at heart forgetting about their pain and problems. They were just playing with them. If we would not know the number of their years we would think they are only children who love receiving love and attention.
I love to see generations bonding. It's one of the neatest things in today's world.
P.S. The club is getting ready to celebrate a lady member who will be 100 years old this fall.

Our second weekend: Cegled
These photos were taken in Cegled. 60 minuates East of Budapest. This a small town where the kids' greand grandparents, aunts+ uncles live.
As you can see the weather was such a blessing element of our trip the WHOLE time!
Our boys and girls enjoyed hanging out in their great grandparents' garden only in their diapers.
Well, after they started to dig in the dirt we undress them to lessen the amount of laundry :)
They enjoyed playing at the well and with the dog. Great grandma's garden is like a jungle for them. Fig trees, pine trees, grapes, berries and lots of flowers and bushes.
Their house was filled with laughter and joy.
Of course after playing outside they had better appetite so the grandmas could stuff them with lots of goodies.
One afternoon we saw a wedding as we were walking and another evening we took them to a beautiful playground.
It was a lot of fun to see them bonding with great grandpa who is miraculously doing so well. This was our prayer and dream since March for him to be able to enjoy them during our summer visit. The Lord graciously granted this for us. It was fun to hear him sharing the same nursery rhymes that we heard from him growing up.
There are about 91 years between them and great grandpa.
We will cherish these memories as long as we live.
On lonesome days I often think about these precious sunny moments with our loved ones overseas.
