After visiting Niagara Falls.....
And our family in New York.....
Finally, we are here at our final destination: "home" for the next three years! Actually it feels like we have returned "home" after a three year vacation since we were here just before we went to Germany. That mostly has to do with the fact that we are now living in the exact same house we moved out of three years ago. It just so happened that our old house was available for a new family and we had a very agreeable housing representative that made it possible to move back into this wonderful house! All thanks go to God though, because it is obvious only His hand could have made all of this possible.
Though we are back in our most favorite house, we are still waiting on our household goods to get here. Trust me though, sleeping on air mattresses and trying to cook dinner with one pot and paper plates is nothing compared to staying in a hotel room. They are predicting our stuff to get here at the end of the month. Good thing I packed our school books in the pre-shipment, much to the boys disappointment, that has already arrived. HAHA!
We think we have found our new church. We haven't joined yet, we're taking things slowly, but so far we have enjoyed each time we've spent time there. It is a small and intimate church, much like our family in Germany, with its own charm. The pastor and his wife have 7 children (6 of which are boys) and our boys hit it off immediately with their boys. It seems most of the children are home schooled in that church as well. There is a whole lot of love and support there.
For now, that's it for the updates but stay tuned, we have several surprises up our sleeves and new things to tell when the time is right. But for now I have to go wrangle these kids up for bed because we have an early, busy day in store tomorrow.
