Been far too long since our last post.  That's mostly my fault as we have been very busy with living and haven't had the time (or energy) to do much of anything "extra".
 
For the last several weeks life has been 'normal'.  Well, as normal as it can be here in Chad.  Weather's been great.  Lows in the upper 60's.  High's in the upper 90's.  Nice breeze at night.  Quite comfortable, really.
 
We received an unexpected visitor with a short term mission team last week.  Seems Alex stowed away with them and surprised us.  What a blessing!  Now our home feels complete and normal.  She leaves in 3 days.  I'm already starting to feel sad.
 
Everyone's pretty much healthy.  No complaints.
 
More tomorrow.  Maybe.

Trip to States for Health Care

I don't think I ever posted any pictures from the visit to Washington that Janice and Liddy made for health reasons, along with Hudson, and also Alex who came to stay. That trip took place at the end of May and into the first part of June. They were here for about 3 weeks, and it was filled with a surprise for Janice's Mom, who didn't know they were coming, as you will see in one of the pictures, and lots and lots of Dr. visits and trips to hospitals and clinics. So as these pictures are "old" know, we still love to see the faces of those we love.



Hudson, learning how to walk.

Liddy at Children's, passing the time while she gets tested,

and tested, and tested! What a trouper she was!

Alex, trying to aclimate to our weather, and freezing!

Here she is, making herself at home!

Hudson, with cousin Mitchell! I will have to sadly say,

Hudson would cry every time I tried to hold him and didn't

get used to me the whole time they were here.

Janice with her two brothers, Ray and Donny.

Gramma Judy with Hudson.

Alex and Amanda.

Hudson meeting Amanda & Elaina (and not seeming to have

any problem with them!)

Hudson & Elaina

Liddy & Hudson, he's not too sure of all of us!

SURPRISE!!!

Yes, here's Alex, you can see she has made herself at home!

(I will have to give her the benefit though, not all of that is

hers, just lots of it!!)
