Well, since I haven’t posted anything since Ben’s birthday in the beginning of March, we’ve had quite a lot going on.  Those of you who receive our newsletter know most of it, but as I look back over the past few months it is hard even for me to remember it all.  We’ve been ensconcedContinue reading “What have we been up to?”

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”
