Home Sweet Home

After being gone from our home for almost all of July, we are unpacking and ready to be in San Diego for the fall! We spent a weekend in Missouri for a friend's wedding, then headed across the ocean to Germany for a missions conference with our sending organization. We came home for a day and then traveled to Amarillo for a week to connect with friends and family. Whew! As you can imagine, we were so thankful to sleep in our own beds last night.

Our conference in Germany was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends who work in other countries and to be refreshed by God through worship, prayer, and powerful teachings. We were equipped, filled up, and sent back out to accomplish all God has for us in San Diego. Anna Kate is a pro traveler now, handling long flights with the greatest of ease...ok, maybe there is a little crying in there, but for the most part, she did amazing! With the help of a portable DVD player and the bassinet the airline provided on the overseas flights, we were so blessed with a smooth trip with an infant.

Anna Kate turned 9 months while we were gone and is still the cutest gal on the block. No teeth have shown up yet, but we are sure they are on the horizon. We know she is glad to be home as she slept 13 hours last night and is already 2 hours into her morning nap! We are looking forward to her crawling season beginning soon.

Jonathan and Suzanne are thankful to be settled back at home. Jonathan hit the ground running with the purchase of a keyboard for the church and is reconnecting with people from our church. Suzanne is conquering the mountains of laundry as our bags from Germany did not arrive until after we left for Amarillo. We are looking forward to several visitors from Texas in the next few weeks and after that, starting a new lifegroup! Blessings on you today~we will post some pics once we get through all the suitcases!
