New Happenings …

Hey, it’s been awhile since I have posted because we have been very busy and Bob is redoing some of my blog.

We have just traveled back to the USA.   This week Bob graduates with his MBA.  He has had a full scholarship for distance education because of the work we were able to do in Brazil.  He has been working on this for 3 years now and I couldn’t be prouder of his accomplishments!!   He has worked so hard and diligently for this degree!!     The trip back here was by far the worst trip I have ever been on!   I got sick from Germany to DC – I cannot sleep on planes and I was exhausted, I have a difficult time being in crowds and I started vomiting the last hour before landing in the USA.   I continued to be sick through 2 airports and as we were boarding our last flight, we were almost not allowed to get on the plane because I was THAT sick.  Thankfully we didn’t lose our kids  …  and our luggage was only lost for a few days.    It took me a full week to recover but after that I was ready to walk through WalMart!!     It is such a culture shock going to different countries and it is also a culture shock coming back.  Seriously!!!   My  husband and I were at Target this morning and two women were complaining saying, “They just don’t have any selection in this store” – how SHOCKING to our ears!!!

We will be spending the next 2 months visiting family.  We have been enjoying visiting with Bob’s parents – it has been 2 years since we last saw them!   I am just thrilled that our kids have grandparents that adore them and love them.   A couple of days ago we helped Bob’s parents move from Florida to Alabama as Bob’s dad has taken a pastorate here.

Sophia and Papa.

I cannot believe my Sophie-girl is 5!!   We had a wonderful Mother’s Day this past Sunday.

I am so in love with my children.  Samuel just brought me a flower from the yard and he said God made it just for me.  He is the sweetest little boy God ever made!!

We will be going to Bob’s grandma’s family reunion.  I am so excited to visit with Bob’s amazing cousins and his aunts and uncles and sweet Grandma.  South Dakota is absolutely breathtaking, is it not??!!    I am also looking forward to visiting our loved ones in MN.     My blog is going to be getting a new look soon …  the snowmen have got to GO!      Blessings to you and yours this day, I pray.
