Our dear, dear friends Drew, Susie, and their three kids moved to Hanover, NH last summer. Drew was one of the pastors at City Church, and Susie oversaw the children's ministry. They were our closest friends at church. It was hard to say goodbye when they left for Drew to pursue a masters degree in engineering at Dartmouth. He had felt the Lord calling him out of the church and to have a ministry in the work place. God has blessed them abundantly for their obedience. They have a fantastic church, great community, good public schools, and beautiful scenery.
We drove north to spend a long weekend with them and had a fantastic time! Drew took us for a full tour of Dartmouth's campus. The history, and architecture are astounding. Then we went canoeing on the Connecticut River through the Dartmouth Outdoor Club.
We went under a small bridge and came to this little cove that led to a beautiful waterfall. We hung out there for a while just enjoying the peace, stillness and beauty around us.
Behind their condos is a fun little trail with a small creek. In the mornings the older kids (Mary 6, Katherine 4) would get on their backpacks, and grab their supplies and head out as explorers. (pictured above the kids in their bathing suits)
They all had so much fun together. Their youngest, John (2) is hilarious! He wakes up and does a happy dance. He is so full of life, and joy. He loved chasing the big kids, especially Lilia. He even learned her name by the end of our time.
