Just for Laughs



Well, it has been a bit of a long day. So, tonight I thought I would experiment with an idea I had for a moment of peace in the midst of everyday duties. Dorothy was in bed and Joey was getting Hannah down. So, I popped on our wireless headset (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) and started the dishes to the sound of some good calm music.

Then the music changed…very country. What?

As I heard the chorus, I went in search of Joey. I found him right where I expected, messing with my music and bringing laughter and fun into our home. Sometimes it does a lot more toward relieving stress than any old soft music!!!

Settling In

We made it! The girls did really well and it was an uneventful trip. Thanks so much for your prayers!

We’ve been back in Bunia for over a week now and are starting to feel settled. The girls both had a bit of trouble with jet lag, especially Dorothy. I don’t even know how Joey and I handled jet lag as we were up with the girls often enough that we’ve been able to sleep anytime, anywhere! Thankfully, both are sleeping through the night again and are settling into a good daytime routine as well.

It has been wonderful catching up with friends this week. We also have been spending time getting our water, electricity and kitchen back up and running. And unpacking, of course!
