Yes, I know it seems as if I've fallen off the face of the earth! Technically, I just relocated on the face of the earth. And, even though WiFi and Internet are FAST on this side of the world, so is everything else. I tell you, we got off the plane on May 30 at 6:30pm and I have hardly stopped running since! These last two months have been full! And, I plan on blogging about it and posting fun pics, at some point, but the next 6 weeks are FULL as well. So, here's a quick recap and preview:
Recap:
June 8, Peter and Alex turned 7!
June 9, we drove to OK to spend a long weekend with dear friends before they moved half way around the world, again.
June 14, precious friends from Colorado came to spend 2 weeks with us! We did: NASA, Aquarium, VBS, Children's Museum, Dates, Swimming, Boating, Zoo, Cars 2, and much, much more!
July 4, Fun with family!
July 8, 9, and 10, Brad and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary, without kids, thanks to my awesome mother-in-law!
July 12 (and 13), Savannah's Brithday ~ Splashtown and circus
July 15, we went to Bryan/College Station to see friends, share about out life in Asia, baptize our boys, and preach.
And, this week, my kids have been at a rockin' VBS each morning.
On top of all that, my mom has been in the hospital twice, Savannah's had an ear infection, I've joined a women's Bible study, kids have been trained in chores, Brad's been writing his dissertation, and we've loved seeing our family as much as possible!
Preview:
Next week, I'm attending a Homeschooling Conference in the Woodlands (north Houston).
Next Saturday we'll spend the day at Lake Conroe with one of Brad's friends from 20+ years ago.
Sunday we'll share about our Asia-life at a local church.
Then, on Aug 4 we'll take off for Louisville where we'll spend almost 3 weeks re-connecting with friends there, while Brad meets with professors and continues working on his dissertation.
At the end of August, we'll travel to South Carolina to participate in a conference, and head back "home" to Houston sometime after Labor Day.
Whew! Life has been rich! And, the next month will be full as well! So, my goal is for you to hear from me again before Sept. 15, but I can't make any promises!
Now, for a few pics.... These are from my boys' first Astros game! (Savannah was 3 weeks old when she attended her first game!)

Sounds fun and full. Hey-we live in Charlotte, NC now. When you guys are traveling from Louisville to SC you might be coming our way-depending on where you are going in SC. Where is your conference? We'd love to see you or host you for a night!
yes, Amy, when/where is your conference in SC? We'd love to come meet you or something! Sounds like you've had an exciting time so far!
Sounds like you guys are having a blast!! Hey, do you need a place to stay for the homeschool conference? My parents live in The Woodlands and would love to host you guys. My cousin and her friend are actually coming in for it too, her name is Erin.
