Wow!  2 blogs in a row.  Enjoy it while you can.  Ha!
 
This morning when I went outside it was in the mid 80's.  Very comfortable.  Was 79 in the house.  Was able to spend a few minutes chatting with Alex on Facebook.  I'm so glad we have the ability to do things like that.  Can't imagine what it was like for missionaries only a few short years ago.
 
We're just under 2 months until we fly out of here.  Janice has been gone for 3 weeks.  Last night both Tawnee and Esther cried in bed for mommy.  Breaks my heart.
 
Hope you all have a great day.

Hey there....
 
At the risk of stating the obvious:  I miss my wife and kids.  Yes, it does help to have some of my kids with me (6/10ths of them to be exact).  However, that is a poor reward when I think about all I am missing out on with the rest of the family.  And, that doesn't even begin to say how I feel about Mrs. Flude.  Not easy to put into words something that I feel deep down within my being; something that I can't quite get a fix on yet I know it is there because I am constantly being reminded just how lonely I am.  I am sure Janice and the kids in the States feel the same way however it is a little difficult to feel too badly for them as they eat Red Robin hamburgers, Spartas pizza, and Ivars (just to name a few).  Plus, they are enjoying Janice's mom's cooking.  Oh well... only 2 months to go.
 
Hope you all have a great week.

Hello there!
 
Been a while since my last post.  Been busy.
 
On Face Book Alex asked me to post something here because it has been a while and, as she stated, "so we can know if the house has burned down" (or something like that).
 
Well, I can report that the house has not burned down.  Yet.  Nor have any children died, starved to death, or been otherwise harmed in any way (save for the fact that Janice isn't here).  Sure, there's been a fair amount of tears shed and "'Daddy, where's Mommy?"  But, otherwise, we are holding our own.
 
Libby's dad, Marty, arrived a few days before Janice and the kids left.  He's been a huge help.  We've completed several projects around the W.C. and still have plenty of time (he goes home in the middle of July) to complete many more.
 
In a development that might be a surprise to many, those of us still in Chad (me, Gracey, Emma, Liddy, Ethan, Tawnee, and Esther) confirmed yesterday that we will be heading to the States on 15 August 2010.  Thus will begin our family's Home Assigment.  We plan on locating in the Lynnwood area so as to be close to family.  Of course we are all excited to be going Stateside as we will now get to be there when the baby is born.
 
Hope you all have a great day.
