It has been non-stop, one thing after another around here the past few weeks.  With Jerry's trip to London, then his delayed return, Karis' birthday, then a trip to the emergency room for a team member's child, a death of someone close on our team, then preparing for a team retreat, participating...

I am really enjoying getting to know my new blog friend, Tara.  She also lives overseas and we can share the common bond of living in a culture not our own.  She lives in Ukraine and although I've never been there I am familiar with many of her experiences having lived in Russia.  We've...

 Before the week gets away from me and being on the BOD of a Christian infertility ministry, Hannah's Prayer, I wanted to mention National Infertility Awareness Week.  Did you know that infertility is a disease that affects over 7.3 million Americans?  And yes, it's a disease. ...

I have had it in my mind for quite some time to cut Reegan's hair and donate it to Locks of Love.  It was never a good time or I would constantly forget to call and make an appointment.  We had a team retreat (more on that coming soon) this weekend and I was determined to get my hair cut before. ...

I am SO behind in blogging.  So much content and so little time! Last week we had our cooking time and it was fun as always.  Due to some ladies that were not able to make it, we decided to change the recipe.  We hope to do another Russian dish in the future, but this week we kept it...

We were able to turn our applications in to the Spanish Embassy in Prague almost 2 weeks ago.  It took the consulate a few days to review it, but we did get the word that our applications were accepted.  Whew!  With ALL the many papers that were needed on FIVE family members I am so...

Birthday season is about to begin at our house!  So Friday we went to a party store and pick out plates, napkins and such for their birthdays.  We then met up with some friends for dinner at the mall.  We had an after dinner show of a water fountain set to music.  We watched the...
