I know it’s been a while since we’ve written – sorry about that.  Life has been pretty chaotic!  I wanted to take some time to really fill you in on what’s been happening the last couple of weeks, but I’m afraid it’s going to be at least a couple of days before I can do that.  However, I just wanted to briefly stop by to let you know that we’re still here, and let you know what’s coming up.  Tomorrow Lord willing we’ll be spending some time with our Canadian Director and his wife, Larry and Jayme, and our “boss” from the head office, Phil.  This is a rare event which we’re really looking forward to!<\/p>\n

Then we’ll be spending some time in Kitchener regrouping and preparing for the other things coming up.  We’ll have the opportunity to see my cousins who are about 15 minutes away, and then – well, then I’ll take the time Lord willing to write a blog and give you more details!<\/p>\n

However, we continue to need your prayers for strength and rest.  Nathanael had the poorest night of sleep since he was just a newborn last night.  Hopefully that was just a one night thing, but he was up again the last few nights (after a nice stretch of sleeping properly again).  So, we’re not sure why that is, but we’re getting more and more worn out, and so keep praying that we’ll be able to deal with what’s going on, and get some sleep.  Thanks!  And Lord willing we’ll talk to you again soon.  In the meantime, we do have plenty of fresh photos in our album if you’re interested. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
