Before Susan left for France in Sept of 2008 - we did a photo shoot with her "kids" around their yard and surrounding fields... Simon was just turning 4 yo on Sept 20th and Susan was to be 23 two days earlier on Sept 18th... being the oldest of the neices and nephews makes him special to Sue and the fact that they celebrate their birthdays together when possible... Hallel wanted to see him before she leaves for France, so Simon went along to see her for a few days... He said that he will miss mom and dad, but John and grandpa can be his parents for a few days - "That's kind of funny." was his comment on the situation...
Fun in the corn field...
With Simon and 2 year old Mary in front of their picturesque barn... that's not sweet corn...Susan loves children and would always say that she was either going to be a sister or have 10 kids... Although she has given up having her own children in marriage, and also sacrifices her time with her neices and nephews... she is drawn to the children that she comes in contact with as she lives in her communities in KC and in France on mission... we know that she will always have a special way of reaching and ministering to children with the love that she has for them and the way that she can relate to them with love and acceptance! She will mention the little ones, and she asked to have Simon come and spend time with her before she leaves for France... She should be able to see all 5 of her neices and nephews before she leaves... they will be the wind beneath her wings!
