If we have been silent for the last couple of months, it may be because life got a little crazy. When we returned to our house in Fairfield in February, Kevin went to Kenya for a conference for a week, and returned to do a huge missions conference at our main supporting church. There were daily events, and we enjoyed it thoroughly even while it was very tiring. Ben celebrated his birthday, while Toby did standardized testing and then took the train to North Carolina to see another MK. Kevin went to Kenya again for another conference, and Toby flew out to Ohio for two weeks with family. Meanwhile, Ben and I continued with homeschooling while I went through all of our stateside belongings, which we took out of storage to peruse. Somewhere in there we fit in church visits, individual visits, and an extended family trip to Massachusetts.
In April we headed south to see friends and supporters, traveling through 10 states and driving over 3,000 miles. It was well worth it though, and it was great to reconnect with so many who support us and pray for us faithfully. We especially enjoyed stopping at AIM Headquarters in Georgia – what a privilege to work alongside the folks there.
We returned to our home base with only 2 1/2 weeks before moving-out day, and fit in church visits in New York State and another city in Connecticut, as well as a 2-day visit to see supporters and friends over in Poughkeepsie, New York, where we used to live. We were packed up and moved out of Fairfield on May 31st, and Kevin’s parents welcomed us (and our piles of stuff) warmly. And yes, we continued to homeschool through all of this. -C
