Toby and Cami are embarking on a new adventure – homeschooling. He spent Sept-Dec in the public school system in Northwestern Connecticut, but since we were on the road for most of January, and didn’t move to our new home until mid-February, we felt it would be too hard for him to be put inContinue reading “Homeschooling”

Visiting, visiting!
We haven’t posted since Christmas, since we have been busy visiting loved ones and moving to be near our biggest supporting church in Fairfield, Connecticut. In January, we enjoyed a trip west to see each of my sisters, and it was a very happy reunion. My older sister hadn’t seen Toby or Kevin in fiveContinue reading “Visiting, visiting!”
Christmas
What a wonderful Christmas we had! I know I keep saying that about everything, but when you tend to spend Christmas in a very hot place, with very few shops to choose gifts from, with a very limited budget, and very far away from family, an American Christmas is like a bonanza. And I’m notContinue reading “Christmas”
The True Size of Africa
I think most people have no idea how big Africa is. That’s why I love this image, which fits the USA and several other large countries into the continent of Africa.
Loving America!
Wow, there are a lot of things to enjoy here in America. Here are just a few that I enjoy: Soft, deep carpets Nobody stares at me, or points, or discusses me with a companion while laughing Road are smooth and clearly marked I can sleep next to an open window without fear of someoneContinue reading “Loving America!”
Being a Missionary Kid
Everyone has been asking us: “How are the kids doing with all the changes?” The truth is, they are doing really just fine, though there have been many moments of angst for Toby. He misses his friends in Mozambique, he misses his school, and he misses the familiar. It has been much harder for himContinue reading “Being a Missionary Kid”
Our Soccer Star
We are pretty excited that Toby was able to join a youth soccer league in the town where we are living. It was a little adjustment for him to learn to play wearing shoes, but he is so thrilled to play each game, and it is a lot of fun both for him and forContinue reading “Our Soccer Star”
Healing from AIDS
This is a recent news item that was sent to me by our AIDS coordinator from AIM, and I thought it aptly described what is going on in some parts of Africa with the Health and Wealth gospel churches. We were visiting one of these churches once, and the visiting bishop told all of theContinue reading “Healing from AIDS”
Happy Birthday, Aunt Brida
We can’t let too much more time pass before we wish a Happy Birthday to our Aunt Brida, who is my grandfather’s sister. She turned 100 in July, and we had a great time at her birthday party in Indiana. It is about an hour from my grandparent’s house to her house. Toby has beenContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Aunt Brida”
Memories of Tabitha
One thing that we always do when we go to Ohio (where my grandparents’ farm is, and where my parents are living now) is to visit Tabitha’s grave, which is only a few miles away from the farm. For those of you who don’t know, Tabitha was our second child, who died shortly after birthContinue reading “Memories of Tabitha”
