Merry Christmas

Themurica is a busy place! We have been so busy and have been traveling all over the place...soaking up every minute with our family and friends and LOVING sharing what the Lord has done in our lives and how God has answered YOUR prayers.

While I had great intentions of mailing out Christmas cards this year, reality is, that I have not had any time. So, consider this your card from us.

Merry Christmas from our family!

Worship the King that was born to save you from your sins.

Connected

I'm sitting on our couch in our new apartment and our internet is all hooked up, thanks to KB. We are connected to the world again!

Sorry that it took so long to hear from us. KB gave you a short update the other day.

All of our travels went fine and we hit the ground running here in the States. We were in our new home for a few days and then we headed down to Texas....the stars at night are big and bright....deep in the heart of Texas - for my little sister's wedding!! It was such a fun week and a beautiful wedding!

Now we are back in the Mid South and enjoying just being home, in our new home. We are slowly getting our bearings and are loving all of the funny things the kids are saying. I've been making a list, so that post will be coming later.

Thank you for praying for us during our travels and our re-acclimation during these first few weeks here.

Small Update -

Well, this is a small update while drinking coffee and enjoying free wifi at Dunkin Donuts near our housing.

We want to thank all of you who prayed for our travels to the states. It was close during all of our connections, running through pushing a double stroller while KB carried Titus and two carry-ons, a car seat and his computer bag. Oh, and don't worry, Iz and Bo Bo held my computer bag for me and I strapped their bags on the back of the stroller via a huge mommy clip. But, no fevers, good sleeping kids, and smooth, I mean smooth travels. Praise Him!

It's day 14 and we've eatin Mexican food, KB spent 6 hours on the road to pick up a vehicle, we took new prayer card pictures, we had a 3 kid b-day celebration, visited Grace Church, left for Texas to have wedding week with Amy's sister and family. We got back to the mid-south Monday, and our bodies are screaming, "Stop" "sit down, stay in one spot for a minute why don't you!"

So, we are, and we'll update you more when we get internet at our home hopefully by tomorrow.

Thank you for praying! Psalm 116:1-7 (a better explanation of our past 14 days)

Not long

Our last few days have been spent saying goodbye to our dear friends. Friends that will forever have a piece of our heart. We are rejoicing to see many of them walking with the Lord.

Today is our last full day in our beautiful city. We will be busy making sure we have everything packed and ready, finding homes for the things we have left, and saying a few more goodbyes.

Could you lift up our family?

Here's a little timeline to pray through:
Tuesday: closing our apartment down and headed to Btown. We'll see some friends there for the last time and spend the night.
Wednesday:
6:20a  GMT (which is 11:20p CST) we have our first flight
10:00a CEST - second flight - the LONG one, over the ocean
2:30p EDT - final flight
3:47 - we land in thumurica!!!

Would you mind lifting us up? Please ask for us to be healthy and an uneventful trip. (Remember our arrival here?)

We are so excited to see so many of you!

Thank you for going on this journey with us. God has used you just as much, if not more, than us! Thank you for lifting us up.

Don't worry, our journeys aren't over....more to come.

Next time you hear from us, we'll be Stateside.

Tackle Time

We are in full packing mode. All of our life into 8 bags. oh.my.goodness. But its happening.

So, here's a look into our lives at the moment.
Let me set the scene:
We are in the kids' room.
No beds left.
Only a pack and play.
A crib mattress.
A bean bag.
And our luggage.
No naps for Iz and Boaz.
I have no idea what they are singing.

All that to say. Notice the tackle and how it doesn't phase him. Sorry for the camera shaking. I couldn't help but laugh.

Must.Pack.More

2 days.

...as he calls himself, turns THREE today! Pictures of the celebration to come.

Pack N Play Buddies

My boys love to play together. Its so fun to watch them.

The pack n play has become:

1. a great place to snuggle
2. a wrestling ring
