In case you are wondering, we survived our typhoon and tropical storm. Neither hit very bad or were much trouble. The tropical storm today actually really cooled things down and it felt great! I hope it stays this nice! We are loving it.
I heard from Steve earlier this week via facebook that they made it safely to India, after a lovely boat tour in Thailand on their 7 hour layover (*so jealous*). It sounded from his note that he had already been impacted by a lot that he had seen and experienced in traveling and his partial day in India so that is great. He sounded encouraged and really excited to start teaching. I haven't heard anything since so hopefully they are having a great (and safe) week.
Caleb is missing Steve a lot - or in his words, "Alex the Lion (the character he pretends to be most often right now) really misses Zumba (that's daddy's character). Zumba is off in India catching chickens for Alex the Lion (because, of course, lions eat chickens) and India has better chicken than Korea." Yes, these are the kinds of things that come out of our 2.5 year old's imagination. Keeps life interesting! I (of course) really miss Steve too and it makes me appreciate him all the more...we are pretty blessed to have an incredible daddy and husband!
Overall, we have been having a fantastic week and really enjoying each other. I am convinced it is the Lord's grace and your prayers!! We have felt blessed by a number of friends reaching out to us as well, thankful for a community around us. Today was the hardest day of all, Caleb really tested boundaries and was overall just exhausting to be around. He didn't take a very long nap either and really fought bedtime tonight. He is asleep now and I'm hoping some good rest for both of us will get us back on track for tomorrow!
A dear friend's little boy turned 1 year old today, so that was a fun outing and a great (much needed) diversion from our day. We braved the tropical storm and walked over to their house. I always enjoy seeing lots of little kids all together and the kids had a great time doing a craft, singing happy birthday, listening to a Dr. Seuss story (that was the theme), dancing around, eating cupcakes and being crazy. The moms enjoyed the great food and adults to talk to!
I'm hoping I hear from Steve sometime soon and if I do, I will update you! Please be in prayer for him and Pastor Nelson!
Looks like kiddos are having a fun time! Praying for Steve & Nelson. Glad to hear the typhoon didn't get as bad as it was thought to be. Hey, I tried your recent recipe only I threw it all in a crocked pot & it turned out pretty good. I was scared it would be a total flop... Anyway, I'm glad you share your recipes as I like to try new ones too. I love you each! Love, Hugs & Continued Prayers, Your aunt in SD! :o)
