Having Fun in the Courtyard

Mike and Temple Visiting Us in DC

We took the tour of the Capitol building and sat at the House of Representatives session

There were lots of things on our agenda: International Spy Museum, Ethiopian restaurant for Temple's birthday, the monuments, the Holocaust Museum, Union Station, Jewish NY Style Deli, Jaleo, National Air and Space Museum, etc. We had wonderful time together.

Last Day in Charleston

Oh, If I did not have Mikey and Temple, I do not know how I could have packed everything into Mitsubishi.

Oh, I miss them soooooooooooooooo much!

Another Pic

Sorry Deda and Bebo: Here are the pictures that you have been waiting for such a long time.

Girls Goofing Around in Cold

Admiring Art

Priscilla's greatgrandfather, George-Olivier Desvallieres, was an artist in Paris and one of his paintings is in Smithsonian. We were able to view the painting.

That was very special.

Here is Priscilla admiring her greatgrandfather's talent. There is a possibility that it is a portrait of her greatgrandmother.

Then here are some of my favourite paintings of French Impressionists

Adventures in the City

One very cold freezing day Priscilla and I adventured into the city. Yes, our noses almost froze off, but we were able to take advantage of not not many tourists in town.

New Friends in DC

It has been a blessing to get to know other believers in DC. I love hanging out with Jessica and little Christopher who looks just like his daddy who is another butler at the embassy

Thankful for our New Home

We are thankful for our new home in DC. Almost every time Stephen has a day off, we try to visit the city. So far we toured the two Smithsonian museums.

Stephen-the Under Butler

Is not he the most handsomest underbutler?

Our DC Apartment

After a long trip, Stephen arrived at the British Ambassadors' Residence with truck mountain top. He was welcome by the lovely staff with a plant as a welcome token (now sitting in the living room in the corner)

The apt was all furnished with fine furniture, the bed was made, and the towels were hanging in the bathroom.

God is so good to us! He is loving and Caring in every details of our lives!

Our DC Apartment

Having Fun with Friends

Hanging out with Simpsons and Masseys is always full of laughter and giggles and lots of good food!

Stephen prepared a Moroccan dinner-the menu he learned through a cooking class at Charleston Cooks that Philip and Sarah gave as a birthday gift last year.

I enjoyed using my grandma's china that had traveled in 1960s from Germany to St. Petersburg to Tbilisi to Charleston...WOW>>>>>

Why are these boys goofing off...Too much of what????

Apple Pie by Stephen Sprunger

So delicious, so beautiful, we were stuffed but we could not pass this apple pie.
Good job, Mr. Sprunger!

Wedding at the Cliffs at Glassy-Tom and Lauren Glass

Of course, nice spread from Stephen at the rehearsal dinner!

Having Fun with Budimirs

New England, Fall, and the visit with our best friends Budimirs-What a combination!

I am already missing them so much

Oh, I forgot to post this picture of Ben and Emily
