heading south!

Lily's passport came at 11 am Saturday morning, and we were on the road minutes later! We are SO thankful to have this important document in our hands, and despite all of the hours of frustration and work to get it, we recognize that receiving a passport on January 31st for a baby born January 2nd is NOT bad. We're grateful to have it, grateful to have had this time at home, and grateful to be headed south!

(Lily is not liking all these hours in the carseat!)

It's still cold and icy in Ohio! We arrived last night at a dear friends house in Atlanta, GA, after 555 miles. The first leg of our trip went really well, and now we're getting ready for "Part 2: It's still cold, let's go to Florida!" We should arrive at my grandfather's house tonight in Brooksville, Florida, and then on to Fort Pierce Monday morning.

Thank you for all of your prayers. We've had some really good time to talk and pray with the Lord and each other about Haiti, and it's been so refreshing to have this time to re-evaluate how we do things, what we are feeling led to to, and our relationships. We are are overjoyed to continue to feel His hand on our lives and in our work at Emmaus Biblical Seminary. Please continue to lift us up as we return with new hearts and minds, and a new baby!

(did we mention she has a passport? Ahhhhh)
