My sister Jan is in the hospital with severe, complex symptoms, with no clear diagnosis as yet. Please pray for her. Thank you.

Today our daughter Valerie and her family are moving from Pittsburgh to São Paulo, Brazil, back to “our” neighborhood, church, and school. We will miss them!

Here’s a photo of our family from last week’s reunion.

The family moving is on the right, Valerie, Cesar, and Caleb (7), and Talita (5) standing by me. On the left are Rachel and Brian with their two girls, Liliana (5) and Juliana (2 1/2: “I’m not a baby. I’m a toddler!”), then our son Dan and his girlfriend Caitlin, who met our extended Elliott family for the first time at this reunion.
