To say it has been a while is certainly an understatement, and we apologize to those who check the blog on a regular basis and were disappointed with no new news. That said, here is the skinny.The past few months have been good and, as you can imagine, unique. Life as parents is tiring and consuming yet beautiful and fulfilling. We have tried to see friends and
family and visit churches (which was a tremendous blessing and will tell you more about our visits in a future post) all while rolling with earthquakes, hunkering down in hurricanes, and keeping from getting a wicked chill! Additionally, we were able to break away for a week in central PA for our first "family vacation!" Although it was soggy and cool, it was a great time to share together, for Trevor to ride his first 4-wheeler, and really decompress from a whirlwind of events. Kirsten even found a way to surprise me for my birthday with tickets to see a living legend!
We also were able to attend a great Bible conference hosted by our home church in Ocean City. One of the wonderful things about the conference is that many of you were there; connecting with you and others is more than half the fun! In addition to spending quality time with people we knew was the opportunity to hear great preaching and enjoy worshiping God with such faithful brothers and sisters! (If you are interested in hearing some of the teaching you can check it out here for free!)So, here is the news you really want to here... Trevor is doing great and received a clean bill of health from the doctor. It took us a while to get in to see the doctor, but we were thankful that Trevor is a healthy little boy (who is starting to coo and smiles constantly) and ready for travel to Jamaica! That being the case, we are awaiting his passport and have booked tickets (for October 14th), and are beginning to pack for the "land we love."
In the last couple of weeks, we are still going to try to visit with some more people before we head back and still get ready to hit the ground running. Soon the sounds of reggae beats will beat in our heads and the heat of the beautiful Caribbean sun will warm our hearts. Then we will know wi be jammin'!PS - We are officially back in business and will be updating regularly. So see you soon!
