Hello Texas

So we're back to our "old" home (Texas) after spending a few weeks in other places we've called home throughout the years.

Thanks so much to everyone we spent time with, lived with, swiped cars from, and stole food from. Our time here has been awesome!

We've gotten to see a new niece and a growing niece and nephew. We got to see Bethany and Russell's new baby, Tye. We've gotten to see grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, and sisters. Not to mention friends who've grown so close they might as well be family, too.

We've gotten to see lots of sports: Cleveland Cavaliers basketball, Spartan basketball, Tarheel basketball, Hurricane hockey, and Catawba Indians basketball. Plus several football games on television (which is the best way to watch football in the dead of winter!)

We've gotten wonderful gifts, from music software to flannel sheets, DVD players to maternity clothes, plus money (which always fits and is the perfect color) and tons of donations to our mission. We are truly blessed.

Tomorrow we do some packing, some last minute shopping, then drive to Beaumont for dinner with friends and one last gig in town.

Saturday morning sees us flying back to our new home in Guatemala and four or five days with our cleft palate kids and their families. (Easing back into life in Central America.)

And we're at 11 weeks and 4 days ourselves. Please pray lots for Heidi and Baby Bell...
