one month

Today marks one month in America, and I must say we're feeling it a bit. No matter how much fun we're having, not being home for a month, traveling with four kids for a month...it adds up and comes out in the quiet moments as we wonder after friends and miss pets and talk about missed toys and beds and even schedules...or maybe that last thing is just mom :)

Nonetheless, each day is rich with good friends and family, and yesterday, with great worship and community at Cornerstone Church of Bear, DE.  We love our Cornerstone family, and it was truly a joy to worship together and to catch up with so many praying people from through the years.  The testimonies of His faithfulness we've been hearing from people this summer continue to be so encouraging and inspiring.

After two services at Cornerstone, we headed back to the Bucker's for Judah's batman/spongebob birthday party, which the girls couldn't have enjoyed any more...they just love time with lots of kids (and ice cream, cake and the pool didn't hurt!)

We left the party around 4:30 and headed for the Heckman house, where the kids played with Ethan, Haylie and Braden while mom and dad went out to dinner with Phil and Emily.  

We spent many a nights over the years together in Haiti, chatting about fun things to do and see in Jersey, and it was a gift to know the kids were having a blast in our absence, and to go enjoy one of those places with people we so miss being a part of our daily lives and ministry.  Their new home is beautiful, and their jobs are good and Ethan and Haylie are awesome and we're so thankful.  I just hate change and we miss their help, and more, their familyship.

Such good food and so much laughter.
Ben is with Mom when it comes to ice cream!





Today we are off for Lancaster and a few days with Aunt Sharon and Uncle Martin and can't wait!  We're back on the fourth for final days with the Buckners, my sister and her family, a root canal, and with our Seeds of Greatness Family on Sunday before heading back to Ohio Sunday afternoon!  

If you're our PA/DE/NJ/NY/MD family and we haven't seen you yet, get to Seeds of Greatness!  Matt's preaching both services (8 and 10:30) and we would so love to see you!
