WordPress Issues

Apparently wordpress has been having issues with me lately, not that I take it personally.  I’ve been having difficulty actually getting my posts to post, so I’m trying again.

In case you haven’t heard, we’ve made it safely to St. P.  Isaiah traveled amazingly well (he only cried twice!), we had no flight problems, all our luggage made it.  Thank you so much for your prayers during our travels!

We have had some jetlag difficulties, but we expected that.  It’s been pretty tough on Little Man, but he’s been a trooper, especially if he gets to go “outside”, which incidentally is now his favorite word, no longer “mama” (sigh).

We are currently enjoying hosting a college friend of Thomas’.  As I’ve mentioned before, we LOVE HOSTING!  Please come and see us sometime.  I’ll tell you more about the fun we’ve had with Dan after we’ve had it (he just arrived yesterday).

So, hopefully wordpress likes me again, and you can read this post.

The Beginning of a Long Day

We’re sitting in the New Orleans International Airport waiting on our plane to arrive so that we can begin our trek back to St. Petersburg.

We’ve been having a great though hectic time while we’ve been in the States.  I’ve been posting about each week on my blog, but I hope to do a summary here after everything has had time to sink in.

Thank you for your prayers while we travel.  We are thankful that God has given us a child who travels really well, but the day is long and we’re all really tired by the end.  Please pray for us to be able to rest at least a little bit on the flights and to adjust to the time change without too much trouble.  We wish that we could have seen everyone we know, but the time went by even faster than we had thought it would.  We love you, though, and hope that we will be able to see you the next visit if we missed you this time.
