Matt is safely home from a great trip to Kentucky! He had a wonderful time visiting old friends, co-workers professors and meeting with a few people for his Master's. He even was able to spend an hour with a new friend: a Haitian high school student who was THRILLED to talk to someone in his own tongue from his own country. Our dreams to retire one day, when we're like, 90, in Kentucky continue...
He got home late Saturday night, and Sunday after church Lily took part in her first "White Family Christmas Tradition"...hunting for that perfect Christmas tree. Being in Haiti last year for Christmas made this even more fun! It was hard to believe we were in Haiti just days ago as we trudged through the snow searching for a pine tree. We had such a good time, Lily and I got some exercise, and now we have a ridiculously HUGE tree in our living room!...it smells SO good!
Our weekly doctor's appointment today showed everything to be going well, and we also checked out the hospital and figured out where to go...now, it's just the WHEN...
...quite the change in scenery!...
Tomorrow is the last day of class at Emmaus Biblical Seminary before Christmas break! We're so thankful for friends and family here, there and everywhere, and for the ways that God is continuing to work in our lives and speak peace, a desire to know Him more, and joy into our day-to-day. Hope you're all enjoying some beautiful family Christmas traditions, snow or not!

ReplyDelete"Oh what Fun" family traditions are!

Is there really such a thing as a tree that is too big? :)
Love you
