Margit Island

On Jacob's birthday, the Johnson family met us on Margit (Margaret) Island which is located on the Danube River. We enjoyed a picnic and then played, visited, and fed the ducks.

Madison and Nola put flowers in my hair...

 The kids also found a hedgehog in the Ridgeway's (empty) pool this week. They captured it for everyone to see and then set it free. In Hungary, a hedgehog sighting is supposed to mean good luck. Although some "good luck" would be nice, I think we are all continuing to ask the Lord for assistance.






The kids have been on Spring Break all week (they start back to school on Tuesday). Once the kids are back in school, I think I'll go to the library a little more to help out there. There are three rooms available for books and sitting/reading at the library. Only two are used right now, however, as the third room needs to be cleaned out. The Ridgeway's want to clean out the third room and turn it into an area where kids can read and play while their parents browse, read, and relax in the library. I think I'll be assisting with that project while I'm here. Other than the library, I will be at the house helping out with Landon. The Ridgeway's are a great family and I'm enjoying my time with them!
