Lisa decided to take Wednesday off school, so we drove home from Chicago Tuesday night and got in around 2:30 am Wednesday morning. It is her first time home in 5 months, and we spent today shopping for Thanksgiving ingredients and getting ready for Sunday's Ohio baby shower! Thanksgiving for the White's will be Saturday, so we still have a few days to get ready!Also, in a rather rapid shift of events including airline issues and a free flight, Matt is coming home a week earlier! Today was the last day of his Isaiah class, and it ended so well. Several of his students asked if they could continue to work through the book together with him (in only 2 weeks, they weren't able to study EVERY chapter) in the afternoons. That's never happened before!
SO, now Matt is coming home this Friday instead of next Saturday! It will be wonderful to have him home, and he's been going crazy today trying to get everything in order before he leaves. He has had an awesome time this week with his mom, dad and brother, and today they joined him for his weekly Bible reading in the community. Edlin's family was thrilled to meet Matt's, and likewise. They had a great time...
So, with Matt coming home Friday, we've given Lily permission to feel free to come anytime now :) An early arrival would make getting all of her paperwork done so much easier! And after several hours of shopping in Wal-Mart (the choices are still overwhelming!), I am feeling quite ready to have this baby and have my body back :)
Please be praying for Matt while her travels and praise the Lord for his early trip home! We'll have some pictures of his week in Haiti up tomorrow!
Tell Lily, she can come early, but at least wait two more weeks. Not too early. We need to make sure those lungs are strong enough. Love you guys. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
