Wrapping Up

Well, we are back in Central Asia now.  Sorry for the lack of blogging lately but our last days in the US were packed with visiting and fun so I just didn't have time for a lot of pictures or blogging.  I know I said this before but we feel so blessed to have been able to come for vacation over Christmas.  It was such a blessing to see our families and hang out with friends.  We feel loved, cared for, supported and recommissioned to do the work here.  Thank you!  We love you all!

Here are just a few final shots of our time with friends and family...

We stayed with the Thompson clan in Raleigh and had so much fun!  Eliana had a blast with Isabelle, Gabe and Grace and Drew and I were living it up with Josh and Bianca hanging out, talking and watching hours of Downton Abbey.  We love you guys and miss you so much!  Thanks for everything!


We also got to spend a couple of days with Uncle Blake and Aunt Melissa in their new home in Virginia.  It was great to see them and their lives there.  We are so proud of you and can't wait to see what God does through your ministry!


Eliana was also able to spend time with her other great-grandparents, Mamaw and Pop.  Eliana had Mamaw wrapped around her finger, literally, and spent lots of time walking around the house and playing with her babies.


I just love this picture!  Such joy in all three of them!  We love you guys!  Thanks for making our vacation wonderful!
