we all love you very much. we miss you both very much. we ate at china buffet (martinsville)sarah's belly is too full. sam was sad last night and wanted to see you. we are looking forward to hearing from you when you get to vietnam.
Had a pretty quiet day. Made a chuck roast and rice for dinner. Had nice fire and played a game of Monopoly. Sarah giggled everytime she rolled the dice. Kids have showered, prayed and gone to bed. Tomorrow is church and I hope I hear from you so I can update everyone. Goodnight for now. Love and miss you, Dad, Ben, Sam and Sarah
Yesterday was a little more hectic. getting everyone up dressed and off to church (usually Jani's job ha ha)gave my day a good start. We got there 10 minutes early (dig dig) made lunch and dinner (blacken redfish...caught in Louisianna, mashed potatoes...from the garden and corn). Oh and doing Sarah's hair (3 times) was special treat. Preacher gave an awesome sermon about the song in our hearts. The kids even commented about it. Got to get to the shower now, Have a webcam date with my new daughter at 7:00. Love and miss you
Here in St. Louis. It is cold around 9 degrees. Got my walk in and i'm eating udon. Wish you were coming home tomorrow. She is so sweet on the webcam. are you going to post somemore pictures soon. ilove you all and i am praying for things to continue to go well and to get home safely.
Jan, Greg asked me to help you disable Data on your iPhone.... From main screen, click settings > General > Network. On this screen, make sure Data Roaming is off. If not, move to off then save. If it was set to off and you are receiving email from your smurf account, Then from the main screen, click Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Your Account. From here look for a check box that will allow you to disable the account. If there is not an option, then remove the account and save. I will help you set back up when you are back. Sorry this is not personal, I am at an all day workshop this week and then going in and working another 8 hrs just to keep the work from piling up out of control. I am swamped at work along with getting everything configured and ready to ship to Haiti for my mission trip the last week of January -----Rob C
I posting from my iPhone because the you know who's are playing you know what. Got home from St Louis around 4:00 and it is only 2 degrees outside and expecting double digit minus numbers by morning so count your blessings. Brianne, Carrie and Amy have been awesome caring for our children and home while I've been working. Pray God blesses them for their selfless demonstration of love. One more day and I'm off for two weeks. Toby is bringing Mint and Mavis to the Thai restaurant for lungs tomorrow. We are all here missing you very much and are starting to anticipate you coming home next Thursday. It's less than a week now and that feels good. Do you want to do a webcam tonight(for you)? Let me know.

I just got off the phone with you about an hour ago. You seemed tired and home sick more so than in other calls and webcams. Turn to Him for strenght. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strenght is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12.9 You are in our prayers and thoughts always. Please try to see the awesome blessing that God has given you through this journey and consider the trials joy, for they will be remembered as well as the good times. Give Thomas and Phoebe a big hug and kiss for us. Hope to see you tomorrow morning.
Love your post today. Love that I heard that you were coming home a day early. Loved that I heard that you are coming home two days early. Love that your feeling better. Love that our church family is so genuinely caring about all of you and us. Love that they are lead by a paster and his wife that feels the same way. Love that my kids have been awesome through this journey. Love that "quoting my good friend Todd von Ehrenkrook" I have the perfect wife. Love that I have a God that fills me with so much love.
It's Thursday we have piano this morning and something else to do I just can't remember..... Thinging..... Oh ya pick up at the airport. Can't wait to see your jet lagged tired faces. This is the big day for us, we get to meet Phoebe for real. Have spent the last two nights at the farm. Carrie, Shelly, Catina and maybe Briaane cleaned the house last night. We actually kept it very clean, but now it is GIRL clean. See ya in a few hours.
i love you very very much
